How do you deal with an abusive neighbor?
Dealing with Neighbors
- Don’t respond with anger. Although you may be instantly (and perhaps justifiably) irritated when your neighbor complains, don’t let your anger get the best of you.
- Ask if you can talk face-to-face. Talking one-on-one helps you read facial cues and tone of voice.
- Listen.
- Work toward a solution.

What should you do if you have a problem with your neighbor?
Keep proof of all your interactions with your neighbor. You can write it down, have a voice recording, or install a CCTV camera for a more solid evidence.

Do police officers say your name when they drop by Your House?
Police officers who drop by the location will not mention your name specifically. Instead, they will say something along the lines of “We’ve received a complaint…” without naming names.

What happens if a neighbor harasses you with the police?
It is important not to take harassment from a neighbor lightly. If they have gone to some trouble to harass you with police presence, your life can easily be disrupted.
