In general, coexistence between neighbors is part of the day to day, so you must maintain a good relationship with them to maintain a balance. Currently the ideal way to maintain communication with them is through WhatsApp groups where they discuss community issues.
Living in a neighborhood, condominium, apartment, among others, implies both duties and rights, that is why when signing a contract there are certain matters that must be fulfilled exactly as the regulations say.
Specifically, there is no law in itself that regulates behavior between neighbors, however, the article 28 of the Political Constitution specifies that “Private actions that do not harm public morals or order, or that do not harm third parties, are outside the action of the law, “that is, everyone has the right to do what they want without violating good manners, specified lawyer Ricardo Nassar.
Here are some tips to analyze and thus maintain a nice coexistence with the neighbors:
- Communicate. Whenever there is a confrontation of two points of view, it is best to promote dialogue and thus reach a consensus. Before exploiting the situation, always with respect can be solved.
- Collaborate. The human being has the freedom to choose what to do and what not to do, but the difference is in the ethics of each person where each action has a result. So if the neighbor at the front needs some kind of support, why not help her?
- Respect. When we speak of respect as a moral value, it is about a positive action which is equivalent to having veneration towards our neighbor. It is important to respect and put yourself in the shoes of others to bring good attitudes to society. In the case of a neighbor relationship, there are certain points that must be respected:
Take care of your pets
In these case, the main thing is to ensure that barking is not annoying, as well as cleaning their waste. This is one of the most recurring points in conflicts between neighbors, it is best to educate or train them.
Avoid loud noises
Respect noise schedules. In Costa Rica, according to the Ministry of Health, the maximum time to “make noise” is 10 pm, so anyone has the right to report to the police. However, it is also important to note that it is not just a time limit but the degree of the sound.
Pay on time
Pay the fees on the date indicated. In some cases the payments for some services are multiple and for one person the others may be harmed.
The values of the world we inhabit and the people we surround ourselves with have a profound effect on who we are.
