Legal Definitions - annoyance

Annoyance is a feeling of being bothered or irritated by something or someone. It can also refer to a situation or condition that interferes with the use or enjoyment of property.

For example, a loud noise or a foul odor can be considered a nuisance if it affects the physical condition of adjacent land or interferes with its use or with the enjoyment of easements on the land or of public highways. Liability may or may not arise from the condition or situation.

Another example of annoyance is a neighbor who constantly plays loud music late at night, making it difficult for others to sleep or relax. This can be considered a nuisance if it interferes with the use or enjoyment of neighboring properties.

These examples illustrate how annoyance can be a subjective feeling or a legal concept that involves interference with property rights or enjoyment.
