Official sources consulted : .
Conditions, costs and deadlines according to the procedure and your situation. This guide helps to prepare; the competent department decides.
For preparation
- Dates, hours, frequency and description of nuisances
- Exchanges, settlement, lawful evidence; insurance in case of damage
1. Security and nature of the problem
In case of danger, contact the rescue. For a leak, take the urgent safe measures and warn the insurer. Distinguish neighbouring noise, professional activity and construction site.
2. Propose a concrete solution
If this is certain, describe the problem and ask for a specific change. Confirm the agreement in writing after the dialogue. Avoid retaliatory noise and threats.
3. Contact the right contact person
Notify the lessor for rented accommodation, the trustee for common parts. Check the jurisdiction of the town hall or police for local rules. Adapt the mail to the situation.
4. Gathering lawful evidence
Keep a dated record, keep exchanges and voluntary testimonies. Consider a finding by the Commissioner of Justice. Don't shoot a neighbor in his apartment without agreement.
5. Conciliation and follow-up
The conciliator of justice is seeking a free agreement. An amicable attempt is required for certain disputes before the court: check cases and exceptions. Maintain agreement or failure and the following deadlines.
