They put up an ugly fence; their holiday decorations stay up year-round, and let's not forget the dog that barks all day long. Here are some tips for dealing with bad neighbors:
1. There dog did you know what in your yard. If your neighbor's dogs are running wild and doing their business on your grass, the best thing to do is to call the animal control board. The owners may be given a fine for not having their dog on a leash. If they fail to comply, the dog may be taken away.
2. Your neighbor throws a keg party for a hundred of their closest friends, blasting their music at 3 a.m. Call the police. They will give the homeowner a stern warning and possibly a citation to cut the party short.
3. Your neighbors painted their house and it looks like a scene from Sponge Bob. If you are governed by a homeowner's association, give them a call. If not, you will have to get used to it.

my husband had fights with me, screamed and yelled, i got evicted AFTER he left and the landlady was afraid of losing money and the neighbors felt they could get away with complaining long after he was gone, this time about the kids, who were supposibly making noise the whole day ,interesting as they attended school till 3 and whatever noise they made was stopped long before 2200 , the official time..yes, i will never complain about anyone ever again after testing the medicine of how cruel neighbors can be..
before you complain try to talk to the person, sometimes you just might find a human being and if you don't think whether it is worth it ..only complain after having tried to talk to the person and after having a constant problem not after one time
The same neighbor has a daughter that throws loud parties every Saturday night. If it goes past 11:00, I do what you mentioned and call the cops. What really burns me up about those parties is that the damned kid throws her empty booze bottles and used condoms over my fence, so that her mother won't see them in the trash. I've spoken to the mother, but the kid denies it. I don't really want to push it too much, or I'll get one of those bottles through one of my windows.
Neighbors from Hell.
We shoot guns every week and our dogs bark , but the dogs don't get out and everyone else shoots too.
our bad neighbors have a dog that craps in out yard and the otherone pulls in and out of his driveway at all hours of the day and night.
we ignore them as long as they ignore us.
we live in a very rural area, so the three houses is all we have around here.
Good tips but it is often hard to proof that it was the dog of your neighbor who did something in your yard. You need to prove that it was their dog and not this one of somebody else. That is often the great problem but the tips in your article are certainly useful.
