Comunidad de Propietarios: Avoid Problems with Your Neighbours in Spain

[Peter Meadows]

We have a neighbour who has a dog that keeps us awake for hours. She is renting from the owner and the dog is causing problems that breach one of our community rules. What power do we have to change the situation?

Dear Mr Meadows,

You are in your right to complain. You should lodge a complaint before the President of your community so he communicates with the landlord/tenant to muffle the dog.

If that doesn't work, then I suggest you file a police report against her for the barking noises at night.

People's right to sleep cannot be overlooked.

Yours faithfully,
