How To Deal With Noisy Neighbors

Full Video Transcript

If you have ever had a bad neighbor, you know all too well how frustrating it can be. If your neighbor’s noise is getting out of control, you do have options. First, talk to your neighbor. Neighbors are often unaware that they are even being loud. If your neighbor isn’t cooperative, try giving them a copy of your local noise laws. City and county ordinances prohibit excessive noise from car and home stereos and also televisions. In fact, noncompliant neighbors can be subject to a warning or even a fine. If your neighbor still refuses to pipe down, you can call the police to report the noise. And finally, if all else fails, you can take your neighbor to small claims court and sue them for nuisance.
