How to Resolve a Dispute With a Neighbor

A dispute with a neighbor can quickly escalate, potentially leading to vandalism, property damage, physical altercations, threats, harassment, and costly legal battles. It is prudent to make a sincere attempt to resolve neighbor disputes peacefully. Techniques for avoiding conflict may include the following:

• Make an effort to establish a positive rapport with your neighbors early on.
• Document incidents, including the date, time, and a detailed description of each occurrence. This information may be used as evidence if the issue escalates.
• It is important to approach and speak to your neighbor calmly and respectfully. Make it clear you would like to resolve the issue. Many disputes can be resolved through a face-to-face conversation.
• When communicating directly with your neighbor is not successful, you can consider putting your concerns in writing. You can send a letter that describes your perspective and concerns and cites any relevant laws or ordinances that are being violated.
• In cases where multiple neighbors are being impacted, you may consider approaching the issue together.
• Consider using the services of a mediator to help resolve the issue through a neutral third party.
• If laws are being broken and there are safety concerns, you may need to involve the local police department.
• If your efforts are unsuccessful, you may need to consult with a neighbor dispute lawyer. A lawyer can explain your legal rights and draft and send formal legal notices that can often lead to a resolution.
• Initiate legal action. This often includes filing an injunction or pursuing a case in small claims court
