5 Signs You are an Annoying Neighbor

Annoying neighbors also affect other community houses for sale. Irvine professional realtors explain five annoying actions that confirm whether you are an annoying neighbor.

1. Parking Disputes
Inhabitants in one apartment share a parking lot with guests and neighboring apartment families. The property owner may or may not

designate parking spaces to certain apartment complexes. An annoying neighbor will use more than two parking spaces. In addition, this person steals it in secret. The aggression creates a ripple effect as you must take someone else's parking space, that person takes another parking space, and so on.

Meanwhile, homes rely on the streets to park vehicles. It's an unwritten rule for vehicles to park within the property line. Inconsiderate neighbors don't follow the rule. They use their garage to capacity, the street space, and your street space to accompany their guests continuously without permission.

2. View Blockage

The mountains, the lake, and the skyline are examples of breathtaking scenery people enjoy through their window. Tree planting, home additions, tall fences, and landscaping fixtures block the majestic beauty and neighbors can't see it anymore. An annoying neighbor installs the necessities anyway with no regard for anyone's feelings.

3. Uncontrollable Pet/Children

Untrained pets and disobedient children don't respect you, the family, or property line. Children and pets go where they please and misbehave while parents/pet owners challenge complainers. Oftentimes, visitors fear visiting the neighborhood due to the neighbor's reputation. This isn't the child or pet's fault. The neighbor's disregard for pet training and child behavior is to blame.

4. Soap Opera Lifestyle

Like soap operas, annoying neighbors live in never-ending drama. Constant yelling, screaming, arguing, and fighting originates from the neighbor's house. A nosy neighbor asks personal information. People representing the neighbor knock on the door begging to borrow something. If you let them, their drama becomes your drama.

5. Territorial

Fences should make good neighbors, but property line problems will become anything but good. Before you place a fence or hedges as a divider, hire a surveyor. A surveyor knows exactly where the property line ends and begins. Fence installers will understand how close the fence should be to the property line without overstepping on their boundary.

A neighbor compromises and co-exists with surrounding neighbors to create peace in the neighborhood, not cause chaos. All tenants and residents should take a good, honest look at their behavior to ensure nothing is wrong on their end.
