KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Nuisance Neighbours
Nuisance neighbours are people who seriously interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of nearby homes.
Their conduct may include harassment, threatening behaviour, persistent excessive noise, intimidation, or other disruptive acts.
Protection is provided under legislation such as the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 and the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001.
Courts may issue restraining orders preventing the offender from harassing neighbours or approaching them, and in some cases eviction may also be ordered.
Serious harassment involving threats of violence may result in imprisonment and substantial fines.
