common law nuisance

Common law nuisance refers to a legal situation where someone's actions interfere with another person's use and enjoyment of their property. This can occur through noise, pollution, odors, or other disturbances that create an unreasonable inconvenience. The law balances the rights of property owners to use their land freely against the rights of neighbors to enjoy theirs without interference. If someone’s activities are deemed a nuisance, the affected party can seek legal remedies, which may include compensation or changes to the offending behavior to restore peace and enjoyment of their property.
