Resolve neighbor conflicts and get peace of mind
Don’t let a neighborly nuisance turn into a nasty lawsuit. Learn your rights and responsibilities with Neighbor Law, the plain-English guide to the laws behind common neighbor disputes.
Neighbor Law is more than a legal guide—it’s a practical book filled with tips on how to solve problems and restore good neighbor relations. Find out how to handle:


noisy neighbors
trees that hang over a property line
blocked views
unclear boundary lines
high, unsightly, or deteriorating fences
dangers to children (“attractive nuisances”)
problems with neighboring businesses
drones trespassing onto your property
other common issues, like secondhand smoke, blighted property, and animal issues.

The 10th edition includes updated laws and information on going to court, boundary fences, private nuisances, and much more.
