Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

A neighbor almost hit my car while I was parked in front of my home. She did this deliberately and I advised my Board of her bullying ways. They, the board, never responded to my question. Are they libel because of their inaction, if she does hit my car? I live in a condo complex and this woman has harassed me for 26 years. No one wants to deal with her and all are grateful that they don't live next to her. She missed my car by approximately one inch. I saw her backup lights come on, she gunned the gas and jammed the brake. Got out of her car, looked to see how close she came to mine and put a smirk on her face. This woman is 73-74 years old, in stage 5 kidney failure and am sure her coordination is not what it use to be. She could have very easily have hit my 2011 Toyota. I would just like to know if I am parked out front again, which is common area, and she hits my car is the Board libel because they did nothing to bring up this kind of behavior to the association in their seasonal brochure or briefs they put out, or not bringing this type of behavior as unacceptable to this neighbor? I do not know what other term than neighbor because she has not been one since they moved in here. Is this board required to respond to me when I submit questions to them? As far as I know they are. I live in Massachusetts.

Not likely. You could file a report with the local magistrate, District Court, and seek a protective order. I would start by sending the neighbor a cease and desist letter from such improper action. Send it certified mail.

If it happens again or something similar, then you can retain an attorney and seek a protective order.
