Request legal advice!","description":"\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e \nWe have been living happily in a nice residential area in the Neder-Betuwe for 3 years now. However, our living pleasure has recently been greatly disturbed by the neighbours' rooster. This rooster starts crowing at 4 in the morning and I really wake up from it. The neighbour certainly has no intention of getting rid of the roosters and thinks it is just a nuisance. The municipality does not really have any rules for keeping roosters in a residential area. What steps can we take?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nYou could consider addressing your neighbors on the basis of the neighbor law, the unlawful neighbor nuisance due to noise. (5:37BW). Doesn't your municipality have a by-law for nuisance animals? To give an indication of how a lawsuit can proceed, here is a link. In this case, as you can see, a lot of nuisance has been documented, but the plaintiff was still proven wrong. You should not feel prevented from addressing your neighbors anyway, after all, it can lead to a solution or reduction of the problems. I can help you with that notice. https:\/\/uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl\/inziendocument?id=ECLI:NL:RBGEL:2016:1810\u0026amp;showbutton=true\u0026amp;keyword=overlast+haan\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, the municipality does not have an apv for nuisance animals.\n\n I looked at the link. What strikes me is that this owner does put the rooster in a soundproof and dark cage at night. I doubt this with our neighbors. They often just walk around freely. Both during the day and at night.\n \nI also see that this rooster starts crowing at 7:45 and our neighbor's rooster starts crowing in the middle of the night at 3:00\/4:00. Does this make a difference?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Yes, that makes a difference: do you start keeping a logbook? And the night shelter is a solution that you could achieve by starting to write to your neighbors based on article 5:37 \/6:162BW. If necessary, I can assist you with that, it makes more of an impression and leads more often to a satisfied result if a lawyer gets involved.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55004708929885,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-61288-wij-wonen-al-3-jaar-met-veel-plezier-in-een-leuke-woonwijk-in-de-neder-betuwe-ons-woonplezier-wordt","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
