We live in a apartment that has multiple flats per floor. We have kept our shoe cabinet outside for past 2 n half years and started keeping some plants out as well sonce past few months. Out immediate neighbour has been against it the entire time . Even though they have their cabinet out and have also taken over the common balcony and lobby/ passage with their plants, ply wood, sunmica etc. they have done few damages to our things and our side of the wall. They keep moving our cabinet, encroach on our parking, keep destroying our plants, throwing garbage, and we have heard them making defamatory statements about us. Also we have heard them threatening us outside our door. And it keeps escalating. What can we do to live peacefully and stop this abuse from happening further????

A.Dear Client,
In the given situation, if there is any registered society formed by flat owners, you can bring the matter to the notice of the Society or the Registrar of the Societies for a resolution in the matter, failing which, in an extreme situation, after serving a legal notice to your neighbor, you can report the matter to the police and file a criminal suit against them in the Court under Sec.268 of IPC for public nuisance claiming damages.

A.Dear Client,
In a situation where you are facing harassment and property-related issues with your immediate neighbors, it's crucial to take specific steps to address the problems and ensure a peaceful living environment. Firstly, document instances of damages, threats, and defamatory statements with dates and details. Consider discussing the issues calmly with your neighbors to find a resolution, and if this is unsuccessful, you may want to involve a neutral third party, like a housing association or a mediator, to facilitate communication. If matters persist or escalate, consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and explore legal options, such as filing a complaint with local authorities or seeking a restraining order if threats persist. Documenting the situation thoroughly will be essential in supporting any legal actions. Additionally, if there are common areas involved, ensure that you are aware of and abide by any rules or regulations set by the housing association or relevant authorities.
Thankyou
