I want to take my neighbor's to small claims court...help? |
Ok, I moved in to this quadplex a few days before Jan 1, 2006. In winter of 2006, some new couple moved into the end apartment (right next to me... Im #3, they are #4). At the time, they had one dog who started whining/barking all the time when they left. Left a nice note letting them know. They came home and started to encourage their dog to bark, and left a note on my car saying "if I had suggestion, let them know." I had hoped that would be the end of it... but unfortunately it went on for a few weeks, so I left another nice note with suggestions. Finally I left another note with them, and with the landlord. He repsonded that he didnt know it had gone on since last letter and will contact them. I let him know I will give him an update in 2 weeks .... 1 week later it got so bad I called the cops and filed a noise complaint (they had barked 3-4 hours straight late at night). Since owners werent home, the police left a note at my request. I sent the landlord another letter with my update in a few days. Many localities have noise or nuisance laws, which I would think they are violating. And your mention of landlord, leads me to think they are renters, and it would seem that such things would be reason for THEM to be evicted. Since they got a 2nd dog, after your first complaint.. that sure sounds deliberate. I am just not clear why they are not being penalized for the situation. A tape recorder should offer proof of continued noise levels. When you take someone to small claims court it is because they owe you money for something. Nothing in your answer indicates that they owe you money. You could possibly file a noise complaint with the police department if the barking is all night long, though I do not know the ordinances of your area so they may not be able to do anything. If she has damaged your property you could file a police report for that. If not then the only thing you can do is try to work it out with them or move. Especially if the landlord isn't doing anything. |

You don't have a legal right to force him to take them down. It would be in his best interest if he did, for the sake of getting along with his roommate. But maybe he's aggravating you on...

If I'm not mistaken, that individual is disturbing the peace. If he becomes aggressive, the cops may even search him, and if they find drugs on him he's going to prison.

You can probably handle this one yourself. Do you have a signed lease? If so what does it say regarding payment?
