Nuisance neighbours
Advice for handling hostile or inconsiderate neighbours
What is a 'nuisance neighbour'?
Do you have a neighbour that is disrupting your life? Do you feel that their actions are unreasonable, avoidable and inconsiderate? Has this situation been ongoing for a while?
What you can do
- Inform your neighbour of your concern and give a reasonable length of time for them to improve the situation
- Be aware that there may be other factors which cause behaviour issues, such as mental health issues, or alcohol or drug misuse
- Make sure that you can correctly identify the source of the nuisance, for example, the address where it is coming from
