Amendments to the Civil code prescribes the duties of neighbors

“Under neighboring rights refers to reasonable restrictions that must undergo the owner of the land in the interests of the neighbors, – said Pavel Krasheninnikov. Of the project, the owner must “tolerate” the impact of coming from a neighboring land gases, vapours, odours, smoke, soot, warmth, noise, vibrations and other such effects, if it does not affect the use of his land or having such an impact that does not exceed the established standards. And in the absence of regulations are reasonable based on the nature and location of land or from custom.”

As said Pavel Krasheninnikov, the respect must be mutual. When outbound from a nearby site exposure higher than normal or out of the specified range, the neighbors have the right to demand elimination of violations.

“the General principle: my rights end where others rights begin, – said Pavel Krasheninnikov. For example, the owner is obliged to deepen his land in such a way that the soil of the adjacent plot will lose support; not to construct wells to prevent the flow of water into the well on the neighbouring property; not to build sewage facilities, leading to pollution of the adjacent plot. It is impossible to carry out on your area planting such a way that it can worsen the condition of a neighbouring property to break the resistance located thereon buildings or structures. And so forth.”
