    Default How Can I Stop a Neighbor from Coming on My Property and Bothering Me

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Jacksonville, Florida. My landlord the owner of this property had an altercation with the neighbor. The Police were called by the neighbor and the problem was solved by the Police Officers. The Officers then told both parties to know longer speak to one another or go on each others property. Fine. Now the neighbor is coming to my landlord's door repeatedly. We don't want to go as far as having the neighbor arrested and getting a restraining order doesn't seem to be something we can do since it states that you need a witness to the neighbor coming to the door or on the property and I'm not always there to see this happening.

    I know we can call the local police but by the time they get here the neighbor is always gone by then. There is nothing criminal, or violent happening ..it's just never ending annoyance.

    In regards to the restraining order ...I know the landlord very well & he's not been all that honest. So, I will not stand in front of a judge and lie for anyone. That's just wrong in so many ways. So, my question is :

    How do we get the neighbor to stop coming to the front door & on the property?

    Why are you involving yourself more than you should be? If your landord wants to report the continued actions of the neighbor to the police he can. Your landlord may be able to obtain a restraining order as well. The police cannot issue a restraining order. It requires a court to do so. I suspect the police simply directed the parties to leave each other alone.


    From what you said you have no basis to obtain a restraining order.

    You have no standing to do anything here. If the landord wishes to report a trespass, he can.

    But you were asking what you could do and stating you had been calling the police. Nothing you described makes it your issue at all. P
