Summary

Finally, ideas for successful ways to go to bat, or battle, against those inconsiderate, or downright obnoxious neighbors. Whether the situation calls for a friendly negotiation or an all-out war, "Outwitting Neighbors" is the source to call on.

Bill Adler Jr. helps navigate condo, co-op, and homeowner associations; property boundary disputes; weird and uncivilized neighbors (and advice for when you're the weird neighbor); neighbors who use their front yard as a junkyard, have bad teenage children, don't keep their large dogs leashed, have litigious tendencies, and worse.

"Outwitting Neighbors" is full of humor and sound advice. It is indispensable for homeowners, apartment dwellers, and urban, suburban, and rural folks alike.
