Is the noise from next door keeping you up at night? Is the view from your backyard being obstructed? Is a neighboring business driving you crazy? Learn your rights and responsibilities with Neighbor Law, Nolo's clear-cut, comprehensive guide to the laws concerning common neighbor disputes. The popular bestseller covers:

  • fences
  • trees
  • boundaries
  • blocked views
  • noise
  • water issues
  • neighborhood businesses
  • secondhand smoke
  • dangers to children ("attractive nuisances")
  • and more

    In plain English, Neighbor Law explains how to find applicable laws and resolve disputes without going to court. It tells you when the law is on your side and how to deal with your neighbors without creating enemies. If you must go to small claims court, you will also find you all the facts you need in this popular book.

    The 6th edition is completely revised to include new information on mediation, disputes about secondhand smoke, outdoor lights, blighted property, and drug dealing. It also has a new chapter on researching the law online.

    Your home is important to you and your neighbors aren't going anywhere--Neighbor Law can help you deal with difficult situations and keep your home life peaceful.

    Fantastic!5
    I read the book cover to cover within days of receiving it. I have a difficult neighbor and this book really opened my eyes to my rights and responsibilities. This book should be required reading for ALL home owners!

    Neighbor Law is Great!4
    This is a great book for people who need to know where they stand when dealing with neighbor issues regarding property. It tells you your rights, gives good examples, and advises when you need to involve an attorney. However, there's a better book out there in the NOLO series if you need to know more about dog law across cities and states.

    A must have book for homeowners5
    I have been having problems with neighbors and disputed property lines. This book will give you ideas and helpfull hints to a peacefull end. If you bought a home, ,property (land) you owe it to yourself to read this book.
