Communication is very often the key to resolving issues before they get out of hand, although asking your neighbour to get his dog to stop barking by parking your car in front of his gate and blowing the hooter madly at 3:00am may not be the way to go. Unfortunately, they will often resort to tit-for-tat behaviour, which doesn’t help the situation at all. Totally sane and rational people can be driven almost to the brink of madness by the actions of their neighbours and will often go to great lengths to stop what they deem to be anti-social behaviour. The bad news is where you live or how much you paid for a property doesn’t seem to offer much protection and neighbours from hell can feature in all sectors of society. The saga eventually ended when the neighbour concerned committed suicide.Īlthough this case is particularly dramatic, it certainly highlights what can happen when you live next door to disruptive or abusive people. Various homeowners on the estate had laid some 30 charges against the woman and had even tried to convince the court to have her committed to a mental institution for observation. The matter which ended in a courtroom battle included incidents where the problematic neighbour phoned at unreasonable hours, hammered nails into residents’ cars and ran around naked.
The residents in a golfing estate in Gauteng had been waging a long-standing battle with one of its inhabitants. While neighbourly problems do not seem to be as bad in this country as they are in the UK, perhaps because we live in far less cramped conditions, a recent case that ended in tragedy indicates just how bad things can get when neighbours don’t see eye to eye or when one party becomes totally unreasonable. The Neighbours From Hell in Britain (NFHiB) run a web page that highlights people’s rights and offers advice on how best to deal with the situation.
In the UK, for example, where many of the properties are semi-detached there is a group dedicated to helping those with problematic neighbours. The problem is certainly not exclusive to South Africa and seems to occur when people are forced to live in close proximity to one another. What drives one person around the bend will not necessarily concern another in the slightest and what seems to be a minor problem for one will seem like a life and death situation to another. It may sound a little silly, but in actual fact a noisy, nosy, disruptive neighbour can ruin anyone’s life and finding out what sort of people you are moving next to can prove to be one of the most important aspects of the deal.Ī bad or unreasonable neighbour can make life an absolute misery and as the court reports show, it can be a costly exercise trying to resolve even the pettiest of issues.
