I don't think they have the right if they don't have a warrant you should check into it.

In short, you are not permitted to use excessive force to defend your property.  That being said, each jurisdiction, and even each judge, has a different idea of what "excessive force" is.  To be safe, you're better off contacting your local police department for advice.  They should be able to advice you on what could possibly be considered excessive force.\n\nIf someone actually has entered your home, you do have a right to defend your family and yourself.  You can arm yourself against an intruder, and if you feel threatened, you have a right to neutralize that threat, but only to a certain degree.\n\nThere is a big gray area around what is considered reasonable and what is considered excessive.  I would consult your local police department for advice.  They should be able to help you out in this situation.

police is the right authority here. please approach the closest police station to your house/locality. tell them the problem & provide them with details. they will ask u to file a complaint in their register. after that they would probably send some constables to your neighbours to investigate the matter. hopefully seeing the constables, your neighbour changes his attitude & matter gets settled there itself.

Nope, not illegal.  You can try posting it but that might not work.  This is a neighbor issue.  Your community should have something in your court system to handle these types of issues.  Talk to the police and they can point you in the right direction.

There are a lot of answers that say call the cops, and by all means do so!!! Sometimes though they won't do a damn thing about it, he will probably become enraged and the abuse will get worse. If this is the case pack what you need and move out when he's gone somewhere. I know of a neighbor of mine that did just that. She moved form here to somewhere back east while her abusive hubby was at work. \nGood Luck!!!!

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!

It depends.\n\nA fire or explosion gives them right-of-entry, no warrant needed, and you cannot refuse entry or you can be arrested for impeding a fire investigation.  This wouldn't be any different if police heard gun shots from inside a house.\n(IFC 104.10 - Fire Investigations)\n\nMost states grant that authority also in thier codified laws.  In Ohio, for example, it's ORC 3737.24)\n\nIf it's not a fire or explosion, fire Inspectors have the right to inspect any business for fire hazards and safe operations.  However, for a routine fire inspection you do have the right to refuse entry.  Since routine fire inspections is an authority granted the fire officials by most state fire codes, if you do refuse entry, it's not that difficult for them to obtain a warrant and come back with the police.  (I.e. they do not need to show cause for the warrnant, outside the fact that it if it is a business, they have a right to inspect it.)

probably.  ask your local city government/police.

You CANNOT beat up your neighbor (or anyone else) without violating a penal statute for assault. It would be justified if the other person was beating you up first and then you could be acting in self-defense.

Sounds like a nosy neighbour.....\n\nGo to your local police station and ask them what can be done.

All states have laws to protect homeowners and renters.  I am a Realtor and have studied the laws regarding your problem.  The basic law says that a homeowner/tenant has the right to quiet enjoyment of their domain.  It sounds like your neighbor just doesn't like any noise out of the ordinary like a vacuum cleaner or garbage disposal or general talking.  In my opinion your neighbor is being very picky about your noise issues but on the side of the neighbor, the noises you say you are making can be annoying to some people. As for you being a renter, The neighbor has no right to discriminate against you because you rent and not own the unit you live in.  My suggestion is to apologize to the neighbor about the noise and explain why the noise is necessary and come to an agreement as to a specific time you can create the noises.

what type of harassment is done ? in person ? on the phone ? there is not such order like that in texas. are you asking about a no court ordered no contact order or a restraining order ??? there has to be an assault or or some type of harm done before one is issued. you would have to have a police report made out and get a court ordered one . if the harassment is done by some one living next door to you. you would have to put up no trespassing sings or painted tree w/ purple paint at least 3 foot off the ground and no higher then 5 foot. run barbed wire around there or have a fence up w/ signs posted. then a CTW (criminal trespass warning) can be issued.

I cannot say where exactly freedom of speech ends and harassment begins. However, I do know that my freedom ends exactly where someone else's begins. \nMaybe your neighbors are not aware of this very sensitive and tenuous border. Therefore, I would suggest that you try to have a nice polite I was abou to say "diplomatic"!) conversation with them to let them know that you are not comfortable with (or that you are even offended by)their verbal abuse. In case this does not work and they persist, there will always be the police to talk to!

As a tenant you have certain rights and responsibilities.\n\nPeaceful sleep and maintaining noise at a reasonable level past 9:00 PM are two of them.\n\nYour first step is to contact the landlord and explain the situation.  It is his responsibility to uphold the terms of your neighbor's lease.\n\nIf that doesn't help then you may contact the police.  Don't dial 911.  Call the local police station and explain the situation.  You need not call during one of their love sessions.\n\nIf that fails your next option is to contact the Housing Commissioner in your area.  Ultimately it is their responsibility to uphold all tenant and landlord issues.\n\nOf course you may also go directly to your neighbors.  But don't make the contact all about the complaint.  Invite them over for a cookout.  Then ask them "have you heard those people making all that racket in the middle of the night?  Who is that?  We just can't get any sleep when they are going at it!"\n\nThey will figure it out and you will save them the embarrassment.\n\nGood luck.

depends on the state you live in, some yes others no, you have as much right to the house as he has, check the laws in your state

Yes. You can talk to your town about it. Most towns have an animal control officer, who can deal with it. Of course the things to remember here are:\n1) It's not the dogs' fault. They probably haven't been cared for or trained properly.\n2) You can always threaten the guy with legal action, but of course you'll have to live next to him so...

You are right in saying that these people have a right to know the truth about this man but if it's his place than yes, he can evict you regardless of your lease or whether you pay ontime. It will help should you have to go to court over this but know that if it gets that far, as long as you can prove residency for at least thirty (30) days and you receive mail there, it will take 90 days for him to officially evict you. So you will have at least three months to find a new place. Only then will the cops come to your place and actually watch you move all your things and you leave the permisses. It can get terriably ugly so see if there isn't a way to smooth it over in the mean time. That is if you really want to stay there.
