Neighbor Sues for Privacy Violations
Sometimes it’s not your guests you have to worry about — it’s your neighbors.
The Incident
A neighbor sued a property owner and manager for invasion of privacy, citing repeated disturbances and claiming guests’ behavior intruded on their peace and quiet.

Neighbor disputes are rarely covered by traditional policies. Even baseless claims can cost thousands in defense fees.
The Cost
Legal fees for defending the claim
Risk of city involvement or STR permit review
Ongoing neighborhood hostility
