Now a day’s many people all over the world have to face
problematic property owners and neighbors. A real estate property which is
being neglected can become an invitation for Criminals, Sanitation Issues and Vermin.
Also, a neglected property in your street or even in your neighborhood can
lower down the value of your home. With too many properties are available in
today’s market, then there is no possibility that any home buyer want to go and
buy a property that has messy and eyesores neighbors. Fortunately, there are
many methods through which you can easily put up the responsibilities on the
shoulders of negligent property owners.
Reporting the Negligence of Property Owners
You can easily handle the situation on your own by directly
talking to the property owner about the issues without even involving the
authorities in that matter. If the property owner is living on his property,
then it’s easy for you to reach out to the owner and convey your complain in a calm
manner. And the owner is not living on his property then you should try your
best to contact him through any possible way you can.
Make sure that the person living on that
property is the real owner of that particular property and not a tenant.
If he or she is a tenant then you have to figure out who is renting out and
contact the real owner before reaching out to the authorities. You can also
reach out to property tax assessor's office, take out the property
information and send a proper complain letter to the owner along with the
snapshots of the negligence.
If the property is a foreclosed state, then complain it to
his lender. Speak directly to the management and even reach out to the chief
executive officer (C.E.O) level to voice your concern. If you aren’t getting
any results from that then go to your state mortgage regulator.
If
you are a member of homeowners association, then you need to contact the group
and submit your complain request. And if you aren’t getting satisfaction
then you should directly call your local public health department and raise
your issue with them.
You can contact your elected officials.
They make the wheels moving even when the bureaucratic agencies are
stalled in solving your issue.
If you want to take the issue to the
court and you think that only a proper court trial can resolve it then
you should hire a lawyer in the first place. This step is fairly and expensive
one, take this legal step as your last option as its mostly expensive and can
take too long to be resolved.
