What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
In the past year My neighbor has done a few thing to inconvenience my life.
1. pounded on her floor above so hard she knocked the electricty off in my bedroom and could not be fixed for 2-3 days.
2. Left her thermostat off during the winter causing her pipe to freeze and leaking down to my unit. I was able to recover for the damages, but not my $500 deductible.
3. The same winter her thermostat once again was not set to atleast the recommended temperature and the pipe leaked again. I had to have the ceiling replaced and lost out on my $500 deductible.
4. The next day after event number three I left for my vacation that was planned for months, but could not enjoy it because of the damages that were done to my place.
5. Recently my neighbor was inconsiderate and making too much noise on the weekend for me to be able to enjoy my home. I had to call the police and tell them that I had already asked her to stop pounding so hard upstairs because it is very disruptive and causes electrical problems. The police came and asked her to stop.
Questions that I have:
1. if insurance is already trying to recover my deductible, but it doesn't seem likely can I take her to small claims for my deductible?
2. Can I go after her in small claims court for the amount of times that I have not been able to enjoy my home? if so how do I calculate the value of not being able to enjoy my home.
3. Any advice would be much appreciated.
4. i have documentation for the property damage and the police records for when I called the police.
