The Compensation of Abnormal Nuisances

Practical application:

This case law confirms that Marie can claim compensation for abnormal neighbourhood nuisance even without prior formal notice. She should gather evidence such as a noise diary and recordings, then send a registered letter to the neighbour requesting cessation. If the nuisance persists, she can file a claim before the civil court for damages. Preventive advice: installing soundproofing or mediation could be cheaper than litigation.

Practical application:

Even without a formal notice, Pierre can seek compensation for the nuisance under this case law. He should first send a registered letter to the tenant citing the lease clause on peaceful enjoyment. If the nuisance continues, he can sue for damages or even eviction. Preventive measures include including a clause in the lease prohibiting excessive noise.

Practical application:

Sophie can claim compensation for abnormal nuisance even without prior formal notice. She should document the nuisance with photos and a diary, then send a registered letter to the neighbour and the syndic. If the nuisance persists, she can file a claim in court. The syndic should also be reminded of its duty to enforce the co-ownership rules.
