What can I do about a nosy neighbor?
404790
I have the same kind of neighbor, I just started shutting my doors, windows, and totally ignoring her for about a week, I wasn't rude about it, just acted like I was always busy.  I think she finally got the hint, doesn't do it as much anymore.  Just always act like your getting ready to do something, or how about when your husband comes home, if he has a cell phone, call him and make it ring, so he can walk away and take his call, what else can she do if he's busy as well.

He was trespassing. If your backyard is fenced, he was up to no good. If you are on good terms with your neighbors, call them and tell them about the incident. If possible, start a "Neighborhood Watch."

I would not begrudge you that, grab a b-ball bat and swing away.  I used to live in a godforsaken apartment building where the walls were paper-thin, and I could hear EVERYTHING my neighbors did...including having orgies at 4-5 in the morning, several times per week.  Every morning when I took a shower, I could hear them next door taking a dump.  I called the management, I called the police, and nothing happened.  Knocking on the ceiling will alert them to the fact that they are disturbing you, and if they have any decency at all, they will be a little more considerate.  If not, you are dealing with some real a$$holes, and you should ask them as politely but as firmly as possible to please shut it.

Tell them "please, I don't need that on my roof." And if you don't know, tell them why they are installing it there. Or you can yall at her/him.

pour some ammonia around they don't like the smell and will associate the smell with your place and stay away. put some in a trail over to neighbours late at night and fed them regular there. make sure it is neighbour you don't like

She may not be aware of how loud it is and how thin the walls are.  I would knock on her door and in a friendly way, tell her the music is too loud and bothering you in your home.  Ask her to turn it down.\n\nIf this doesn't work and you do not get a positive response, call your local police department and ask what ordinances there are on noise and loud music.  If there are laws (be aware that this is going to piss off your neighbor), you can ask the police to speak with her.  Normally, they will warn her the first time.  \n\nIf she turns it up after they leave.... which inconsiderate people do, you can call them again.  If there is an ordinance, there is a consequence, such as a fine.\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

Your downstairs neighbors are carrying out a campaign of harassment against you.\n\nThis is ILLEGAL, and you can get help.\n\nFirst, do the best you can to document everything they do - take pictures of any damage they cause, keep whatever written records you can of any kind of false legal complaint they file against you, tape any threats they make to you verbally or by phone and keep a "harassment diary" - take a notebook and every time they harass you, either you or your boyfriend write down, IN DETAIL every thing they do.\n\nMeanwhile, contact your local police department, ask to speak to a detective, and file a formal complaint. Then go to your county courthouse (with your boyfriend, if possible) and file for an Order of Protection.\n\nOnce this Order of Protection is granted, if your neighbors continue harassing you, you can call the police on them - they will be in contempt of court every time they harass you, and they CAN AND WILL GET LOCKED UP.\n\nSitting in a holding cell has a way of getting people's undivided attention - hopefully, when the cops slap the handcuffs on them, they'll calm the hell down, and stop bothering you and your boyfriend.\n\nGood luck!

My suggestions: Invite your neighbors over for lunch, or out on a picnic, and tell them your concerns. Ask them what they would do in your situation. Try to make it as friendly and non-combative as possible. \n\nPlant hedges along the fence, or better yet, flowers bushes. The hedge alone would deflect a lot of the odor. Night-blooming jasmine grows around my bedroom window. It's delicious. \n\nGet an air purifier to use near your bed. That would help a lot.\n\nPut a fan in or near your window, blowing out. Spray Arm & Hammer's air freshener around your window.\n\nLast but not least, be glad you have five dogs nearby to help protect your property. You'll never know, but their presence may have saved your family from burglaries, rape, even murder. \n\nYou sound like a patient person. Just give a little, compromise where you can. And good luck.

Call the police.  It is called invasion of privacy.\n\n\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiczHi..Uh6._y0UWddPS93sy6IX?qid=1006022811250

Report your neighbor to the police station nearest your residence because the act is an intrusion into privacy and against the Wire Tapping Law.

Be patient and stay in touch with police.  They can't just run in on one complaint and clean house.  Get with other neighbors and see if they have the same feelings and get them to call also.  But if you have given them clear reasons as to why you think this person is dealing drugs, they probably have the person under surveillance.  They have to have reasonable suspicion with documented details to support the suspicion to be able to get a warrant to enter the property and search.  Sometimes that can take months.  I know you want them gone now, but it's not that easy.  Keep a journal of the things you see that lead you to believe they are dealing drugs.  Things like the amount of traffic coming and going from the place, times, etc.  If you notice a lot of the same vehicles coming and going quite often, take the dog for a walk and covertly get some license plate numbers.  Do NOT make it obvious to this person what you are doing!  There could be serious repercussions.  But this information could be very helpful to the police.  Don't approach these people yourself either.  Let the police handle it.  Once they gather enough information, they can put a stop to it.  Good luck!

Not that you want to be good friends with your neighbor. But I would try to do something nice to him (them).  This won't make them your friends, but may be a way so that they won't be mean to you.  \nIt is important that you don’t go overboard,  do only very small favors or things (and do them far apart); otherwise they will think that your up to no good and distrust you.

My friend had a great idea when it came to her neighbors' barking dog. \nRecord the dog barking, then set up your recorder with an extension cord to the edge of your property (next to the barking dog neighbor) hit the PLAY button and drive away for the afternoon.\nOR you could just call the city and complain.

How do you know who the person is?  If your neighbor is sure about who it is, go to the cops again and INSIST for some action.  I'm not sure who you'd go to after that but maybe you could ask your state assemblyperson to help you (tell you where to go next).  You'd be suprised how helpful these people are.

confront them!\nthey invaded your privacy, and abused your trust.\nif it is possible, i would suggest moving, because you dont know what else they get into when your not around, or how often they do it.
