Call the police and report your neighbor!

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.

There is this concept called "caveat emptor" which means "buyer beware". It essentially means that courts are going to place buyers with the responsibility to ask questions about things that look out of place when buying a home. Since you saw their belonging on top of crates and didn't ask "why", this may be used against you but I doubt it. (Was there anything else that was obvious something was wrong iwth the house?--if so, you are gonna have a hard case).\nBut besides this concept, I am going to say "yes" you have a case for fraud. Please remember that there is a statute of limitations (meaning the end time when you can sue) for fraud, depending on your state statute which is typically 2 years from the date of the incident which I suppose in your case would be when you viewed the home. \nWhat would even strengthen your case is if you directly asked them, with a witness of course, "Are there any problems? Is there any damage?etc.---something along those lines" because then you can point to the previous owners as directly committing fraud on you. However, if the owners simply did not say anything about the sewer system and you didn't ask any questions like this that required and received an affirmative answer, you might be in for a harder fight.\nConclusion- Gather your facts more specifically and consult your state statute for the time limit on the staute of limitations.

People need to qualify their real estate questions with information about the State and County they are talking about. Get ready to go to court. It is no big deal. The Sheriff will throw them out after you win the case unless they show up and fight. Depending on what City you live in, that could take from 30 days to 9 months. See an attorney or turn the whole thing over to a professional property manager. People shouldn't do these things on their own. What you will end up losing on your own is far worse than what you would pay a professional.

That really depends on you are in the time line of the litigation.  Did you oppose the lawsuit?  Has there been a trial or a judgment?  Has the the court issued a writ of possession?

Do you work at home? \n\nIf not forget the slander suit.\n\nPeople take child endangerment seriously. No one is going to penalize her for complaining.\n\nYou should consider the nature of the complaints. What is being said? Is this a domestic violence thing? Is is it a noise thing? What is it?\n\nTwo times in one week. This person is pissed off at you. Why?\n\nDo you have a fence? Good fences make good neigbors, they say.  Beware of Dog signs don't hurt either.\n\nI would recommend that you talk with the social services worker and ask them for help. They can tell you what is right, and you can show them it is all in your neigbor's imagination.\n\nCheck and see if there is some reason why she may want your house. In that case, you might be looking at a great chance to stick it to her on the sale price. Might as well get something out of this. \n\nI am guessing day care is out of the question. She would look quite the fool if your children were not at home when she complained. \n\nLook into your deed restrictions to see if the civic association can help you out. Think nuissance.\n\nThe neighbor may be guilty of some form of trespass, criminal mischief, or just plain peeping.  Get a neighbor to confirm this and you can demonstrate malice to the social services. tey will report her to the police for filing false reports.\n\nI am guessing you are the only neighbor with children, if not; seek allies. Who knows, you may be able to get a child swap together in your neighborhoood, where all the kids are at on house on the same day. When it is your house the neighbor will go insane, but; you will have witnesses, lots of witnesses.

Take them to small claims court and argue your case in front of a judge.  Whatever you do, don't lie to the judge about anything.

He can sue you, sure.   Whether or not he can WIN is the real issue, and as long as you told the truth, you have a pretty good defense.  If he is harassing you by phone and threatening, I think THAT's his intent - just to give you a hard time.  His legal costs would be pretty significant, and, even if yor story is only PART true, he stands little chance of collecting from you (although a trail is a hassle, and you would have some expense).\n\nSounds like he's playing "chicken."  Make sure your version of the story is accurate, and then ignore him.  Or if you don't think the harassment is worth posting a complaint, remove it and get over it.  If the complaint is legitimate, you should report him to the BBB.  And if it were me, I would post something with THAT, and just say  you had a very bad experience.

Um...maybe you didn't really "prove your case."  Also, the city was not obligated to make sure you had an attorney to represent you.  Courts aren't perfect, but c'mon.

Make sure the neighbor notifies his household insurer FORTHWITH or the insurer will refuse indemnification.\n\nYou would probably have to sue to get more than out-of-pocket expenses. And your legal costs might leave you with less than you spent.\n\nIf the neighbor refuses to cooperate, you will have to see that he is served with a summons or the statute of limitations (varies by state; in Minnesota the statute of limitations for dog bites is six years) could run. Two years is a not uncommon limit -- but the insurance policy will have a much shorter limit, perhaps just a few days, for notification.\n\nYou can Google <dog bite statute limitations + [your state]> and probably find out what the limitation is.

Absolutely hire an attorney.  If you don't file a claim in two years, you could be barred.\n\nIt is difficult to find a good attorney.  Perhaps you could call a defense firm in the city you're thinking of and ask them for a referral.  Defense lawyers generally know the good plaintiff attorneys.

Get A lawyer but go to a few of them to make sure that they know how to handle your case. ACLU can be very helpful!\nMake sure u keep times/dates/ incidents and names if u can get them. Make sure it is in detail and present it when u find a lawyer u can trust and know he /she is going to take your case seriously! Go to the Mayors office of the city you are being violated in and make them very aware of the situation. Lawyers might ask if u did anything like make  complaints or talk to anyone about this that might be able to take care of it before they will get involved. Good luck !

What exactly would you be suing them for?  Kindly remind them that this issue has already been dealt with.  Unless they are harassing you about this, don't waste your time trying to take them to court.

Nothing. You cant claim he caused you monotary damages because you want to evade paying your bills.

Start out by reporting her for disturbing the peace. Do it every time she starts screaming at you. If they won't come out and do anything about it, this is what you do. Go to the Police Dept during regular business hours and file a complaint regarding lack of response on your problem. Tell them that you feel threatened by this woman. Keep a journal of every time you call and everything she does. Write down dates and times for everything. After you have several calls down and several incidents recorded, go to your city or county courthouse and ask the clerk of court about filing for a protection order. A protection order says that she can no longer attempt to communicate with you in any way. She can still yell at your husband or guests, but not you. Once you are at that level, go to your apartment managers again with copies of all this information. Still can't get rid of her? Take your info to an attorney for civil matters. You may have a nice case for a lawsuit. You may also want to have your husband file for a protection order as well. Hopefully you get a good repsonse from the police and she starts getting tickets for disturbing the peace. Do you know her name? You can check with the county courthouse and get her criminal record if she has one. Check with them and see what they will charge you for the information. In my area it's ten dollars for anybody's info. Build up and save your evidence and you should see her going bye bye, before long. If I can be of any further assistance, let me know.
