How To Approach Your Neighbour With A Nuisance Problem

How should I approach my neighbor with a nuisance problem?

After you have documented the problem for yourself, made certain you understand what it is, how it's affecting you, checked to see whether there's any laws that apply to the particular behavior that's at issue, arrange to talk to your neighbor, and approach them in a friendly way. Don't assume that they even know that the problem exists unless you're sure that they do. Apprise them of the problem. Let them know: "here's something you may not know about." "It's causing me some concern or some difficulties in enjoying my property, and I wanted to let you know about this problem", and see how they are going to react and what their feelings are about it. As you discuss the matter with them, if they're not being very cooperative, you may want to show them a copy of any law that applies, if there is one that applies. Do your best to convince them, in as polite and courteous a way as you can, that they should conform their behavior to whatever the law allows or to to some course of conduct that is going to be much more liveable for you and for your family.
