Re: Neighbor taking photos of my house
Have a lawyer send the letter. You have every right to rent your house to whomever you choose. You say you have no CCRs, why not put up a big sign that says We Support Weekly Vacation Rentals.
Re: Neighbor taking photos of my house
I don't agree with the advice, probably meant humorously, to put up signs of any kind. Further, I don't see your mention that there are no aplicable CC&Rs (??). This situation needs careful de-fusing, not the tossing of additional tinder on the fire.
I handled a case (as a contract attorney) involving allegations of harrassment including taking pictures of the neighbor's house. My recollections of the outcome of that case are incomplete, but I think taking pictures, in itself, is not harrassment that is worthy of an injunction.
I suggest the neighbors here look for ways to chill out and resolve the core issues by negotiation or third-party mediation rather than alleging legal rights against one another.
