Q: Marsha, I want to purchase a home in a quiet area. I’ve had some neighbor issues at previous residences. How do I avoid this problem? Are sellers required to disclose problem neighbors or worrisome situations?
A: You are asking me how to avoid encounters with your fellow nearby residents? You can’t. Neighbors are part of living around other people. If you have a neighbor dilemma the best solution is communication.
When you have a difference with next-door neighbors who are tenants, appeal to the owner of the house. If the owner chooses he can attempt to rein in their bad neighbor behavior.
