Legal Notice to a Neighbour

Answer what you can. The draft beside these boxes is rewritten as you go, so you can see exactly what each answer does to the document.

What you type stays in this browser. Moving to a new step asks this site to draw it, but nothing is kept anywhere until you choose to keep a copy — and closing this tab loses it.

Nothing is amiss in what you have written. The document is simply not finished, and the draft marks each gap where an answer will go.

More details — you may leave these

Sender's phone numberYou may leave this

A number somebody can be reached on. Ten digits is the usual Indian form, and a country code in front of it is fine if you want it there.

For example: 98765 43210

Sender's emailYou may leave this

An email address somebody actually reads. Notices under a document like this can be sent to it, so a working one matters more than a tidy one.

For example: ramesh.kumar@example.com

A second address for the RecipientYou may leave this

House / flat / plot no.

Street, sector or locality

City area and PIN code

Clearing empties every box on this form, and there is no way back to what was in them.

The live draft

The draft, as it stands

This is the document as far as you have reached, not the whole of it yet — the rest appears as you answer more questions. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

Dear Sir / Madam,

1. THE PROPERTIES

2. THE GRIEVANCE

2.4 The Sender has suffered loss, damage and inconvenience, and the Sender's use and enjoyment of the Sender's Property is being interfered with.

3. THE DEMAND

3.2 Until that is done, the Recipient is called upon not to carry on, continue or add to the act complained of, and not to remove or alter anything that shows its extent.

4. IF THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT COMPLY

4.1 If the Recipient does not comply, the Sender will, without further notice, file a civil suit for a permanent and, if needed, a temporary injunction, for removal or repair of what has been done, and for damages and costs, as the Sender is advised.

4.2 The Sender may also complain to the municipal body, development authority or other authority that deals with building and sanitation in the area, and take such other lawful steps as the Sender is advised.

4.3 Nothing in this notice waives any right or remedy of the Sender. The Sender would still prefer to settle this peacefully, and is willing to meet the Recipient, with a mutual friend or elder if the Recipient wishes, to agree what is to be done.

6. JURISDICTION AND REPLY

Yours faithfully,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT (for use where this notice is delivered by hand)

The rest stays out of view until every answer is in.

Reading costs nothing. Keeping a copy needs an account.

The opening of the draft is on this page as you answer it. Once every answer is in, the button below opens the whole draft, watermarked — still without an account. Printing it, or keeping a clean copy, is where an account is asked for. That is the whole arrangement.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
