How do you deal with neighbors who cause you problems

I only have Problems with the Neighbour whose Dog bit me apart from her I get on ok with my Neighbours I hope that you Neighbour has seen sense in the mean time if not you have no choice but to sue him as he is not being very Neighbourly at all

teach him a lesson.screw him so that he regrets it.

I think that, like someone else said, you should take pictures. Then do not run to a lawyer but take your husband with you or someone else and talk frankly to him, telling him how much it would cost you if he damages your hay. Ask him why he floods your field--is it something that he can't handle and needs help with? Or is he just lazy and lets the water run? Use an attorney as a last resort but let him know it is an option if it's something that he does out of laziness or malice.

I haven't had too many problem neighbors. My mother-in-law has one who is a pain. Among other things, she is convinced that he has tapped into her irrigation water, so she doesn't turn it on any more, she waters her fruit trees with the hose or something. Awfully strange, ever since she did that, his little pond has been empty. :D

Since it has been warmer outside, I've been trying to leave my bigger dog outside during the day because that is what she craves. Well, about a month ago, my next door neighbor told me that she doesn't want the dog outside during the day because she works nights and Michela was keeping her up because she barked. It made me really upset because the only time that Michela barks is when she wants in or when there is someone or something that is aggrevating her.

I am really glad for the most part that the neighbors are great. However, sadly, there have been exceptions both past and present and I am sure future. Neighbors that moved away several years ago were obnoxious on a regular basis. I mean, sure there is going to be some noise every now and then, but its really something that you learn to deal with. However, when its done day after day and they are rude when you ask them pleasantly to tone it down, then it can be frustrating. Thankfully those people moved away and I cannot say that I was sad to see them gone. Right now, neighbors are good for the most part. There were some exceptions, however it is nothing too frustrating for the long term. Just a loud party during the late night every now and again. Really, there are worst things in the world and its once because of one of the neighbors going to serve overseas, so that's rather understandable. The neighbors behind me can be rude every now and again but I do not really talk to them that often, so its no big loss. Still, most neighbors are cool if you just speak with them but you can tell that some will attempt to paint you as the bad guy. It is very frustrating.

Hi, Pat! I'm afraid I couldn't get along with a neighbor who did that! I'd have to remind him of the possible costs to you, and tell him to find another way to get rid of whatever excess water he needs to get rid of...

We had problem neighbours years ago who used to make so much noise during the night, we could not sleep. They would party every night during the week, it became unbearable! My husband spoke to them to no avail, so we ended up calling the Police. It sounds like that may be the sort of action you have to take with your nuisance neighbour. I would talk to him for the last time about the problem, I would tell him that if he continues to do it you will have no choice but sue him. I know it’s not an ideal solution but this guy just doesn’t care by the sound of it!

I don't know what else you can do. I don't have any issues with my neighbors but I know it would be uncomfortable if I did. I guess I would just tell him one more time and that is it happens again that you will have to be compensated for damages. Take some pictures so you'll have something with some dates on them.

dear pat, am happy that i get along well with my neighbors. but since i am most of the time out of the house, there are some that i don't know anymore and have not met. if you think this neighbor of yours going to do more damage in the future, and it seems that you have already communicated with him your concerns, i guess you will need help from some authorized offices to check on him. i wonder how he makes your field flooded though.. some irrigation or something? well back to the original idea.. this office can make a report on what he thinks. you can use this as evidence the next time he floods your field and you want to complaint or sue for damages. cheers, ann

That is one of the most common problems of people with neighbors who does not seem to care. I have had also the same problem here in our place. Recently, they held a basketball tournament right in front of us. The basketball ring was even located in front of the post lamp just outside our house. My father and mother agreed to it because it will only last for a month. But they were unaware that it could be this bothersome. People who were watching the game would always throw their paper cups in front of our house. All of our plants have been destroyed because the ball kept on smashing them. Now, my parents have learned their lesson. LOL. They will never agree to this kind arrangement because it caused us more trouble than what we expected.

Before I had neighor who causes me headacke always. But since we moved already, so far my neighbors and I are doing great. In your case, since it doesn't happen only once and you tried talking to him already, I guess it's not worth talking to him anymore. You invested money and effort to your property already and since he is not cooperating, you should do some legal actions about it already. If verbal agreement did not work out, then written agreement, and he still did not comply to the agreement, you can sue him if you want.

I think we are lucky to have a considerate next-door neighbour. However further down the road, there is a family that owns four or five cars and parks two of their cars right in front of our house. It was annoying because our master bedroom is at the front of the house. Although we have a driveway, my husband and I try to park our cars in front of our house so that it would leave no space for them to use. It is not an ideal solution but I think they started to get the message. I hope whatever you decide to do to solve the problem with your neighbour it would be thought carefully as this situation could end up much worse to your end. Direct confrontation may not be a good thing judging by his reaction.

Yeah our neighbors are total weirdos. They keep on spreading rumors that are unbelievable. Hope they are not talking about me LOL

Hi Savvypat, I get on great with my immediate neigbours but others can be a bit of a pain at timesbut I don't have a field they can flood. If he is unreasonable rather than sue him if you do lose hay may be worth investingin a solicitors letter warning him that if in future he does this he will likely be taken to court for loss of hay etc. This may be enough for him then to be considerateand notdo it again. Hope you get it sorted. Huggles. Ellie :D
