For example, your neighbor may be making a lot of noise, using the front yard as a garbage dump or parking an entire showroom of cars in front of their door. This can be a nuisance. Are you experiencing nuisance from your neighbor? Then neighbor law applies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The main provisions of neighbor law<\/h2>\n<p>Neighborhood law includes only 22 articles. <a href=\"https:\/\/lexysadvocaten.nl\/en\/teamlid\/myrthe-de-vries\/\">Myrthe de Vries<\/a> is an attorney at Lexys Lawyers and regularly handles neighbor nuisance cases. She outlines for you the most important and perhaps most commonly used rules of neighbor law.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Nuisance<\/strong><br \/>\nNeighbors may not cause an unlawful nuisance by, for example, spreading noise, vibrations, smells, smoke or gases. What constitutes an unlawful nuisance depends on the circumstances. For example, if the neighbor throws a party once, it is usually not unlawful. Does he play loud music every night? Then it may be unlawful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water<\/strong><br \/>\nYou are prohibited from allowing water to drain into your neighbor's yard. Nor may neighbors cause an unlawful nuisance by changing the way water runs from his yard to yours. This rule applies to rainwater and runoff water, among other things. If the neighbor discharges his drainage water into your yard, this will most likely be unlawful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Planting<\/strong><br \/>\nFurthermore, neighbors may not cause an undue nuisance by placing plantings. For example, it is not allowed to place trees, shrubs or hedges within 2 meters of the property boundary. Unless a local ordinance (<a href=\"https:\/\/nl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gemeentelijke_verordening\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the APV<\/a>) determines otherwise. In addition, overhanging tasks must be removed. Neighborhood law also has provisions about shoot-through roots and falling fruit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Property boundaries and property division<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother major point of discussion in neighbor nuisance cases is the yard fence. Neighbors are often jointly responsible for erecting and maintaining a property fence. If your neighbor does not cooperate in erecting a fence, the law states that you can at any time demand that the neighbor cooperate in erecting a fence. He even has to help pay for it. To do so, you must first pass the <a href=\"https:\/\/lexysadvocaten.nl\/en\/jurisdictions\/procedural-law\/subpoena-proceedings\/\">right<\/a>. If you don't, then you usually can't ask for a contribution for the yard fence afterwards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A tenant as a neighbor: who is liable in case of nuisance?<\/h2>\n<p>Neighborhood law is governed by Articles 37 to 59 of <a href=\"https:\/\/wetten.overheid.nl\/BWBR0005288\/2024-01-01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">book 5 of the civil code<\/a>. If you look at those articles, you may notice that almost every article begins with \u2018The owner of a yard may not.... So the law assumes that your neighbor is also the owner of the yard. But what about if your neighbor is not the owner of the yard, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/lexysadvocaten.nl\/en\/neighbors-turn-out-to-be-tenants-and-not-buyers-grounds-for-rescission-of-purchase-agreement\/\">tenant<\/a>? Can you then also invoke neighbor law?<\/p>\n<h2>Tenant and owner bound by neighbor law<\/h2>\n<p>The answer to that is \u2018yes. Indeed, the Supreme Court ruled in two 1992 judgments (<a href=\"https:\/\/uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl\/details?i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ECLI:NL:HR:1992:ZC0480<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl\/details?id=ECLI:NL:HR:1992:ZC0482\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ECLI:NL:HR:1992:ZC0482<\/a>) that the nature and content of the rights and obligations of neighbor law also apply to tenants. However, it is important that the specific provision invoked lends itself to being invoked against a tenant. It must therefore be determined per situation whether neighbor law also applies to the tenant.<\/p>\n<h2>Lawyer for neighbor nuisance<\/h2>\n<p>Do you have a dispute with one of your neighbors and would like to speak with an attorney about your options?
