If something dangerous or (1) (illegal)happens, the cops are the
obvious solution. But if problems that arise are grayer, communication is the best way to save money and trouble. Here are some tips to be a good neighbor and deal with a bad one:
? Get to know each other. Being a good neighbor doesn't mean (2)
(takingfamilyvacations)together. Just knowing them well
enough to say hi, or maybe borrowing a cup of sugar or loaning a gardening tool, can build trust and understanding. Issues are much more likely to occur among strangers than even casual (3)(acquaintances) .
? Head off problems before they're problems. If you are (4)
(throwingaparty) at your place, go to all neighbors who might
be affected and offer them two things: a (5) (verbal) invitation to the
party and a card with your phone number. If they are not (6)
(tolerant) of the noise or there are other problems, your neighbors
can call you instead of asking the police to (7) (intervene) Tell your
neighbors what's bothering you – don't assume they know what the problem is. Be open and direct, not passive-aggressive. Ask for their opinions, and wherever possible, propose a solution that (8)
