Distressed by a noisy neighbor – How to gather legal proof?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a Russian-Lebanese neighbor, a lady who consistently slams her door so loudly that it makes me uneasy in my living room.
This has been happening for over a year. I reported it to the building supervisor and the manager, but they are all Arabs and have been siding with this lady.
If I decide to file a case, what kind of proof can I legally gather for the noise she makes?
I've heard that video recording is not legal without permission. Is audio recording permissible as proof?
I am leaving the building because of this daily disturbance and would like to know if I can include an inconvenience claim with it.
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.
In the UAE, documenting noise disturbances caused by your neighbor is advisable. Keep a log of incidents, seek witness statements if possible, and maintain records of complaints to building management.
However, recording audio or video without consent may not be legally permissible.
Consult with us if you plan to leave your building and wish to explore including an inconvenience claim in your relocation process. We can provide guidance based on local laws and your specific situation.
For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.
We will be happy to help you.
Thanks & Regards,
ABDUL WAHIED
Hello,
We can send her an official legal notice to stop such behavior. However, please share that video with us so we can decide if it is OK to use it or not.
Please contact our office manager on his mobile, with WhatsApp availability as well.
Good morning,
You can record audio or install a camera at the entrance and ask the law officers to unload the camera.
What is legally prohibited is creating special evidence, such as filming a video directly.
