Can my neighbour stop me from building another floor on a bungalow?

It is still legal.It sound as though it's got a Deed Of Covenent on it,which does stoop you from building.This next bit will take some unravelling.You'll need a solicitors hellp,as you will need to find the original owner,and see if they will agree to remove the covenent.It may cost quite a bit of money.

Inside the city limits there is a regulation as to how many you are allowed to own.  This is mostly to prevent cock-fighting.  Do not recall the number.  Not hard to find out.  Call the city zoning committee.  Probably would be best to call from somewhere other than home or block your number so it does not come up on caller id.  Oh, and don't give them your address.

You have quite a mess which if left unsorted could leave you with less property than you presently have. Boundary disputes, particularly when fences are involved should be resolved immediately. Seldom though are they simple issues when you are dealing with a disorderly and disrespectful neighbour. I recommend you very quickly seek guidance from a lawyer.

Once you get the building, you can usually get away with it.  It's a great place to play your music LOUD & work ALL NIGHT if you want to!  Just to be on the safe side, you should call your local building code department & ask them.

That's nonsense. I've never heard of any restrictions like these - and I'm in the real estate business.\n\nRestrictions are only made for noise reasons - but that's only applicable to air conditions with ventilation leading outside - this type hardly exists here.\n\nGreetings from Switzerland

I did some remodeling work in a 55plus community in Washingtons Crossing Pa. When I asked a beautiful blonde neighbor who was obviously much younger she told me that the developer set aside 20% of the units for under 55 but with no children under 19 residing with them.I'm not sure about the housing act but I would guess that most communities have some exceptions as well.

Get yourself a real estate attorney immediately, preferably one who specializes in construction law.  You have an excellent case against the builder.  Good luck!

If it's already going up you can't, if it's in the planning stages, you should go to your next city council meeting and voice your objection, get your fellow neighbors to do the same, we did it here when they decided to build a strip mall across the street from us, they stopped the planning of the strip mall and decided to build townhomes instead. The lesser of 2 evils. Good luck, you'll need it, the city is going to look at tax revenue's generated by the apartment building with a very keen eye.

Do a search for renters rights or laws regarding rentals in your area. There may be an organization you can contact for help. If you and the offending neighbours are renting from the same company, then look at the rental agreement you signed. If they are in violation of it, that would help. Go around to your neighbours and get them to sign your petition by all means, that's a good idea. But find out what the laws are regarding this in your area. Then you will know your options. If they have actually destroyed any of your property, you should be able to charge them. But without getting them evicted, that might cause more problems as well. My mother has a similiar problem, but in her case they are both owners. Do you have any kind of Block Watch or other Community group there? If so, go to the meetings. I assume you have tried speaking to them. Threatening them will do no good. Good luck.

Yes you can(leave it), as long as the neighbors have an agreement with the new tenants.

yes..\nIt has to do with the housing and occupancy codes in your area..\nIt all depends on the size of the structure as to how many occupants can legally reside there..\nCheck with your local zoning office...

Is the drainage pipe going to drain onto your property?  Is there going to be a clause regarding maintenance?  Find out the specifics for his plan and then take them to a real estate lawyer to get their take.  There's no reason not to help out a neighbor if everything is on the level and they aren't trying to take advantage of you.

Defence seperates my yard from my neighbor's.

That's a tough one. Unless you plan to move anytime soon, you're stuck with your neighbour's nosy character. I can empatize with your situation. My retired neighbours have the uncanny ability to appear on the driveway or on the porch whenever I've got to get out with my kids. \n\nI realize it's an inconvience to you, but I remind myself each time - they are probably just lonely, maybe one day I'll feel the same way too.  And instead of making our relationship a strained one, instead of waiting for them to ask me "where I'm off to" I greet them first with a quick but friendly hello and then end off with "See you soon... it's a busy day I'm off". In essence I've been polite to them and at the same time kept my affairs private. \n\nHope this helps.

Go to Ask Jeeves, and put in tenant landlord questions you will find your answers.  I once had a foreign Landlord, who thought he was my Own-Lord, a Lawyer took care of that for me, it is against the law to harass you in any wayand most states are [pro tenant.  Know your rights.  A retainer, and small fee to a real estate attorney can remedy this quickly.  I know it cost money, but mine only cost $250.00 in the long run and it was well worth it to see the Landlord squirm.
