| Kept awake by neighbor's lights Board can intervene when the actions of one owner interfere with another's quiet enjoyment. If mediation fails, there's always Small Claims Court. Question: I live in a town house complex where all the units have indoor open-air atriums. My next-door neighbors' unit directly abuts mine, and the owners use their atrium for growing some exotic plants. They've got a lighting system switched on 24 hours a day inside their atrium. The atrium's ambient light keeps me awake at night and causes distress. I've asked them to turn the lights off at night but they responded: "Sleep in a different bedroom." feeds.latimes.com |
