Obnoxious Neighbors—What To Expect

There are several types of obnoxious neighbors you can come across if you live in either a building or a neighborhood with houses. These people can express their toxic behavior by being:

How To Deal With Obnoxious Neighbors in a Friendly Manner

Make sure that whatever you do to deal with bad neighbors is legal. Some tips on how you can make peace with your obnoxious neighbors by yourself are:

1. Noisy neighbors—When your neighbors are making loud noises, knock on their door at a suitable time and ask them to turn it down. The chances are that they aren’t even aware of the noise they’re making. You can also send a letter if you don’t want to confront them
2. Nosy neighbors—If your neighbors are nosy, you can ask them politely to stop coming to your home when there isn’t a planned visit. Be assertive and make it clear that you want them to stop snooping around your business. They might not know that what they’re doing is bothering you
3. Sensitive neighbors—When it comes to sensitive neighbors, you need to be sympathetic and propose a compromise. This doesn’t mean that you need to step back—make sure to explain your situation in a confident way
4. Neglectful pet owners—You can write a letter to your neighbor about their dog’s poop if you don’t want to confront them directly about it. The best way is to go over, bring some homemade baked goods, and explain the issue calmly
5. Psycho neighbors—If you are scared of your neighbor or if they are bullying and harassing you, you should go to the authorities. You can call your local police station and get more information about what to do. Don’t call 911 if it’s not a true emergency
6. Inconsiderate neighbors—If your neighbor built a fence on your property, flooded your yard, or stole your Wi-Fi, you can try to talk it out with them. Be friendly but confident. If you don’t reach a compromise, you can file a claim in small claims court

When Is the Time To Report Your Obnoxious Neighbors to the Authorities?

When you’ve tried everything from compromising with your neighbors to sending a letter with DoNotPay, and nothing worked, it’s time to report the problem to someone who has a higher authority. The type of higher authority you go to will depend on where you live and what type of issue you’re experiencing.

Here are some examples of what to do about a neighbor:

• Who is noisy—Go to your landlord and consult them about the noisy neighbor. If the landlord doesn’t do anything, you can go to the police, but don’t call 911. Call the local police station to get information about a suitable authority that deals with noise complaints
• Who built something on your property—Hire an attorney and take the matter to court. This might prove as a costly solution, so be sure to try everything else before that. You can try selling the part of the land to your neighbor or seek mediation
• Whose dog bit you—Send a warning letter and seek compensation from your neighbor directly. If this fails, you can file a lawsuit
• Who deals or uses drugs—Report them to the police, but contact your local precinct for proper information first
• Who harasses you—Go to the police, show documented proof of the harassment, and report your neighbor
