Many times, you don’t quite exactly get the neighbor you thought you would while shifting to a new place. All of us are well acquainted with the downsides of mischievous and cheeky neighbors and how our life just worsens upon shifting.

If you are one of the victims to nasty neighbors, this article lays down everything you need to know if such people live in your immediate vicinity.

Tips and tricks to deal with nasty neighbours

We will discuss the smart tips to deal with such neighbors in the following pointers.

  1. To find a way around some nasty situation, it is important to be calm and then go about it. If something is troubling you for a long time, make a call to your neighbor and schedule a meeting with them instead of drawing conclusions or taking matters in your hand, this aggravating the situation even more.
  2. Neighbors can be quite tricky to deal with and sometimes you can end up losing patience and resorting to a step which won’t end in your favor. Instead of accusing those who live next to you, let them know what exactly is bothering you and while you are at it, suggest a way or two to surmount the situation.
  3. There might be an ordeal where your neighbour’ dog takes a dump in your area, now what you can do if your neighbour’s dog keeps pooping in your yard is to not yell or raise your voice at either of them. Try to fill the neighbor in on the situation and offer them dog bags in case they don’t have one. Ask the neighbor to go for an environment friendly dog waste bag so that it won’t irritate the dog.
  4. Even after confronting the neighbors N number of times, they don’t seem to act on your request, try reaching out to local noise and disturbance ordinances. You can pen a personal letter to the higher-ups if the loud noise from your neighbors doesn’t stop.
  5. If the nasty neighbors continue with their actions even after multiple reminders, you will have to bring in an expert mediator to resolve the issue between the parties. To get in touch with such a mediator, check with your local courthouse or bar association or other higher-ups in the police department.
  6. There are times when you won’t have the upper hand in the situation and you cannot do anything but to live with it. While dealing with neighbors, address the problem that is high on the list, the trivial ones can be left for a later date or you have to just get used to it. Once the main problem is solved, you won’t have to constantly worry about getting it resolved.
  7. If there is any issue which is bugging both the neighbor as well as you, the best way out is to offer a helping hand and deal with the situation together instead of leaving the other person in the lurch. For there are times when your neighbor is as pissed as you.
  8. The exact opposite of the aforementioned situation is the one where the other neighbors(other than the bad one) may be as irritated and annoyed as you are. In such a situation, all of you can form an alliance to deal with the bad person. Bear in mind, dealing shouldn’t include things that may be interpreted as daunting or formidable, for in this case the situation can very well slip off your grip. All of you can either mail the neighbor at fault, addressing everything they may need to change in themselves or plan a meet up where the list of issues can be discussed at length. Avoid swarming around the house of the neighbor at fault and appeal to a much calmer way.
