What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington State
I live in a small circle (with a homeowner's ass'n) comprised of only about 20 older type families [meaning mostly over 60, no small children, except on wkend's] which is on a beautiful fjiord-type body of water that people come from hundreds of miles around to vacation in our area and to enjoy. It is so quiet here year round, that is the reason I bought the property. About 2 months ago my next door neighbors bought one of those small lap-type dogs that bark from morning until dark. They leave the dog outside all the time. I wake up hearing the dog bark and that is what I go to bed listening to. When I go outside to do yardwork (which used to be a quiet, peaceful time for me) the dog is on the other side of the fence, about 6 inch's from where I sit planting flowers and barks at me the whole time. I forgot the terms that express legally what is happening to me, about what I have lost, the peace I used to have, the right to enjoy the quiet I used to have. We are having a homeowners meeting next Saturday, June 19th, and I want to know what to say. I am a 60 yr old woman, alone, but I did use to crab fish in the Bering Sea and trap and hunt in Alaska, and I was a loner, so I'm used to being alone but not used to nicely asking people to shut their d#*!!! DOG UP!!! How do I do this?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
