Neighbor Law and the Duty of Tolerance
KH & Partners – Legal Consultation on Neighborhood Relations and Legal Management of Homeowners’ Associations.
Neighborhood relations often lead to legal disputes, particularly when property rights are infringed upon, shared spaces are mismanaged, or excessive noise and other disturbances affect neighbors. Current legislation establishes specific duties and responsibilities among neighbors to promote peaceful coexistence and ensure property rights are respected.
KH & Partners offers comprehensive legal support in neighbor law, dispute resolution, and homeowners’ association management, ensuring the protection of your rights and property.
Legal Foundations of Neighbor Law
Neighbor law regulates the rights and obligations between neighboring property owners, ensuring a balance between ownership freedom and the duty to avoid causing harm.
Key legal aspects of neighborhood relations include:
- Impact from neighboring property – noise, smoke, odors, vibration, or other disturbances that interfere with the enjoyment of property.
- Boundary violations – unauthorized fences, buildings, or encroachments on neighboring land.
- Management of shared spaces – legal issues related to shared courtyards, entrances, and access roads.
The Duty of Tolerance in Neighbor Law
The Civil Code of Georgia establishes the “duty of tolerance,” which requires property owners to accept a reasonable level of impact from neighboring properties, provided it does not significantly interfere with their property use.
According to Article 174 of the Civil Code:
Neighboring landowners must respect each other’s property rights and refrain from using their property in ways that cause harm to others.
Article 175 further specifies:
A property owner cannot prohibit smoke, noise, odors, or other emissions from a neighboring property unless they significantly interfere with their use of the property.
However, if the interference is severe and significantly impacts a neighbor’s well-being, they may seek legal action to stop the disturbance.
These legal principles are designed to minimize disputes and encourage peaceful cohabitation.
