The nuisance of a neighbour can come in the form of disorganization, dirty habits, loud parties, incessant fights, illegal activities, which are difficult for many to deal with day by day.

Here are six ways that you may approach to deal with a neigbour that has constituted himself or herslef into a nuisance around you.

Set boundaries

Whether they have expressed their nastiness from the onset or not,  you must set boundaries. Don’t get too familiar and playful with them. Let them know what you can’t tolerate when you begin to see that they are going beyond their boundaries.

Talk to the non-offending neighbours

If they share the same concerns, it gives you justifications for your issues- and also supports you when you decide to confront troublesome people or go to your landlord. Your neighbors might also have suggestions for solving the problem or approaching the troublesome tenant.

 Be a good example

If you are going to tell a neighbor to stop an act, make sure you are not doing the same. For instance, if you want to tell the dirty neighbour above not to leave the toilet unflushed, ensure you are also not leaving the toilet dirty.

Try to talk things out first

Let’s assume that they are oblivious of their actions. Probably, they didn’t realize that what they are doing is wrong, you can take a step to iron out things, highlight the wrong things and offer practical suggestions on what they could do to get better and be less of a nuisance and this could be one of the more practical ways to deal with a neighbour that is a nuisance.

Call them to order

If talking out doesn’t work, then stop playing nice and call them to order. Be prepared to have a big altercation with them but if that’s the only way you can find a solution, then, be expressive as much as you can.

 Report to the agent in charge or the landlord

You have to stop playing nice at some point, while trying to deal with a neighbour that is a nuisance. Calling the landlord or agent may be your next option. The landlord may not want to hear your worries out and your hands may be tied.
