Neighbor putting chicken manure on property
Is there a law against my neighbor putting chicken manure on his property? The smell is killing me. It is getting in my home and car. Can I put a stop to it?

Re: Neighbor putting chicken manure on property
Dear Friend,
Yes; and the answer to your question is also found in the LOUISIANA CIVIL CODE, where it talks about a property owners rights and obligations. The obligation of a landowner is to use his property in such a way as to not deprive his neighbor of the pleasure of using his own. You will have to sue the guy for an injunction and/or for damages, unless he voluntarily agrees to correct the problem. There is more to it all than this, but this is something to think about. Good luck!
Sincerely,
Hardy Parkerson, Atty.
