Letter about Nuisance to Neighbours

This is a letter written to a neighbour who is causing a nuisance to an individual in a single dwelling or an apartment building.

The main aim of this letter is to ask the neighbour causing the nuisance to stop the nuisance-causing activity.

The benefit of this letter is to serve as an official record of complaint to show that the user has reached out to the nuisance-causing neighbour to behave better. If it comes to it, the letter can be used when escalating matters to a local city council to show that a formal complaint has been made.

The document is a simple template that allows the user to state what nuisance activity is being done by the neighbour. The document also takes into account expected matters such as whether previous complaints have been issued to the neighbour about this matter.

The document is strictly for use where the sender's property is located in England and Wales.

How to use this document

The document is tailored to the use of up to three tenants who are residents of the same property. The address of the tenant should be the address of the residential property being affected by the nuisance. Once the document has been filled satisfactorily, it can be simply posted to the neighbour to whom it is addressed. This letter can be adjusted to accommodate different types of nuisance being caused such as noise, smell/odour, animals/pets and so on.

Applicable Law

The law relating to nuisance is governed by the common law of torts in England and Wales.
