Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania
neighbor harassment/badgering
i have neighbors who are trying to sell their house.I think it's been on the market going on three months now.The wife happens to be a general office worker of the township we live in.She sees to be blaming the difficult sale of her house on our long grass & dog doo in our yard.She's gone as far as threatening to fine/take to court,etc if we don't fix the problem before the next open house.She's using liberties of being a township worker.This is'nt the first incident involving these people.We've complied with cutting the grass & cleaning the dog doo,but it only seems like a matter of time before they find something else to complain about.My question is:do i have a ligitimate case of harassment/badgering?Would i be wasting my time pursuing a complaint of my own?This i not the first incident involving these people
I'm choosing general civil litigation because i'm not sure what area this would fall under

Re: neighbor harassment/badgering
I'm not sure if a legal solution is really the best choice. It seems to me it would be in your interest to help her move in any way you can. If she sells the house your problem with her is solved. If you file a complaint against her it will make it more difficult for her to sell the house since no one wants to move into house where they are going to inherit a feud between the neighbors.
Re: neighbor harassment/badgering
A lawsuit is expensive, time consuming, emotionally draining and carries little likelihood of success. For all those reasons, it makes little sense for you to do that.
However, it may be helpful to have someone involved who is used to acting as a mediator. Attorneys are generally adept at that.
I live in your area and my neighbor is similarly combative. Must be the water.
