If your Neighbor or Homeowners’ Association has overstepped, infringed on your property rights, or is treating you unfairly, you have the right to fight back!
A private nuisance occurs when the plaintiff’s use and enjoyment of his or her property are obstructed or interfered with because of the actions of another. These cases generally involve a neighbor or nearby occupant doing something that interferes with the plaintiff’s use of their own property, but an HOA can also be liable for nuisance. Examples of a public nuisance may involve a neighbor polluting the soil; selling drugs next door; or hoarding animals causing foul odors and health hazards.
In California, a private nuisance provides for a cause of action for the injured party. A plaintiff can file a lawsuit against the individual or group (including an HOA) responsible for the nuisance. A lawsuit can seek an injunction to prohibit the defendant from continuing the nuisance activity. The plaintiff can also seek damages for a loss of property value or damages caused by the nuisance.
