Property owners are sometimes confronted with emissions from neighbours (noise, dust, vibrations, etc.). Such emissions are disturbing. Whether they are to be tolerated or whether the neighbour can be required to stop them must be examined in each individual case. An agreement is preferable to a legal dispute.
Plants (trees, bushes, shrubs), fences, palisades and garden sheds regularly give rise to questions. The permissible border distances and heights are regulated by cantonal law. If the distances and heights are not complied with, the neighbour may be required to trim his bushes, for example. Here, too, an agreement is preferable to a legal dispute.
