Common sources of neighbor disputes
Property disputes with a neighbor may arise for a wide variety of reasons, including the following:
- Fence, property line, or other encroachment disputes
- Tree disputes
- Easement1 rights
- Quiet title and partition of interests
- Landslide disputes
- Neighbor harassment
- Noise, nuisance2 or quiet enjoyment of property issues
- Water and light access disputes
Many of these issues involve questions of state and local property laws3, so you always want to consult with an attorney who can advise you of your property rights.
Methods for resolving disputes with your neighbors
Many neighbor disputes can be resolved relatively easily with the help of an attorney. A simple letter from a lawyer or a quick phone discussion can sometimes be enough for a neighbor to cooperate because many neighbors wish to avoid costly legal action. On other occasions, however, these disputes require dispute resolution techniques such as mediation, arbitration, or even litigation.
