12minus1, just ignore HomeGuru and IAAL. they just aren't cool enough to be in the motorcycle owners club like we are. Yamaha R1--what do you have? I would suggest writing to the condo board with your complaint. Are there others in your condo area with motorcyles? Have them all write letters...

Ha! i love it. and don't you need to also use your chainsaw, lawnmower and leaf blower this weekend. and while you're at it, invite over all your friends who have big loud dogs. and is that airhorn you bought broken? better check this weekend.

is the tree rotten? if it were me, if the tree wasn't rotten, i wouldn't do anything about it since you are moving soon anyway. if the neighbor makes trouble, you can get a tree company to give you a written report telling you if the tree is healthy. or if you want to be nice, how about...

Send the letter. Now! You say your landlords are nice, but they aren't so nice if they aren't helping you with this noise problem. People treat you like you let them treat you. Stand up for your rights and take action.

do you have a current land survey? it's simple to say: if the fence is on your property, then it's yours. if the fence is on their property, then it's theirs. you just need a survey to determine where your property boundries are.

Call the county police and file a noise complaint. i lived in virginia and had a barking dog behind my house. i called the county police and spoke to an officer. i was told that the first offense is a verbal warning to the owners, second time is a written warning and the third time the owner...

did you have a real estate agent? did you have a closing attorney? do you have a mortgage? if so, didn't the mortgage company require you to have a land survey before purchasing the lot?

are you sure these letters are coming from the HOA and not just a clever neighbor with a computer? I would verify with the HOA first to make sure they are the ones indeed sending the letters.

You shouldn't reward rude behavior so i would tell her (nicely) to remove her flower beds from your property. Tell her to plant flowers in her own yard! did she dig up your grass to plant her flowers? if so, tell her you want your grass back. you know the saying, you give people an inch and...

I was just going to say the same thing. Can you find the main water valve and simply turn it back on? I don't see why you have to hire a maintenance man though. Just find the valve and turn it on. If you don't know where it is, call the water company and ask them how to do it.

Hi Dave, Even if someone who sounded like they knew what they were talking about, gave you a definite answer, if i were you, i would still be nervous about spending the time and money to build a fence based on that answer. I mean, if you build a fence and then the neighbor complains about it...

You had said "There is nothing I can do about the piano playing " Well, there is something called the Covenant For Quiet Enjoyment. That states: ..lessor covenants or agrees that the tenant shall quietly enjoy the premises leased. Since it's your own landlord that is the one causing the...

What does your condo rules say about required carpeting? The condo board could make them carpet their unit and that could cut down on the noise. Also, when the condo member visited your unit, since they agreed the noise was loud, what did they say would be done? Attending a condo board...

"I have put steel wool around the apartment myself" Hi, Just curious, what does steel wool do? i have mice in my garage sometimes. i have used mouse poison and moth balls (they don't like the smell supposedly), but have never heard of using steel wool.

Please don't listen to HomeGuru! He feels the need to respond to every post, is rude to everyone, and his 'advice' is usually just a one sentence thoughtless answer. I have already complained about him twice to the website owner. Maybe three times will do the trick. Ciarraine: Have you tried...
