How to Fix a Bad Relationship with Troublesome neighbor 1. Explain to the neighbor in person how he or she is causing a problem. If you feel concerned for your safety, bring a friend and have the encounter in an area you consider safe. 2. Suggest several solutions that take both your needs and your neighbor's into account. 3. Listen attentively to your neighbor's version of events. If the neighbor becomes argumentative or threatening, end the encounter immediately. Do not engage your neighbor in an argument. Report any threats of bodily harm to the police. |
