Need Help With Nuisance Neighbor Bothering Tenants

[Nicholas A.]

Hello,

I have a long-term rental near the Bishop Arts District on Centre Street. My tenants have just resigned for the second year. All of a sudden they are wanting to “re-discuss” the lease because the neighbor’s dog barks a lot and they play music in the middle of the night ie 2:30am until 5:30am quite often - week days, weekends, it doesn’t matter. The dog barking has previously been brought up and nothing more was discussed. Now, they are sending me text messages every time the neighbor plays their music. I lived in this house before, so I know what’s going on. I’ve experienced it myself. Now though, it’s a real issue because it’s affecting my rental income. Two days ago, I received both texts from my tenants regarding the music and texts from my neighbor telling me to tell them not to come over and complain about his music. What’s a mess. The tenants will

Likely break the lease. This is concerning because I will likely relive this situation over and over again because of the neighbor. He’s very confrontational and has threatened me personally when I use to live in the property. He’s an alcoholic and does not work.

The police do nothing and show up hours after the call.

What can I do legally to get this neighbor to chill out and keep me from losing tenants and rental revenue? I am ready to take legal action ASAP, I just need to know what actions can be taken.

Thanks,

Nick Aja
