Nuisance Theory

Nuisance Theory is a legal concept that addresses conflicts caused by property use. It helps determine whether someone’s actions or property condition unfairly interfere with another’s rights—like enjoyment, use, or property value. If a nuisance occurs, the affected person can seek legal remedy, such as stopping the activity or claiming damages. The theory balances individual property rights with community welfare, considering factors like harm severity, location, and usage. Essentially, it aims to prevent unreasonable disruptions while allowing reasonable use of property, promoting harmony and fairness in community living.
