Question:
Donny Delt and Sammy Sigma are students and roommates. They lease a house in a neighborhood near campus. Few students live on the block.
The students do not have large parties, but they often have friends over at night. The friends sometimes play high-volume music in their cars, and sometimes speak loudly when going to and from their cars. Also ,departing late night guests often leave beer cans and fast food wrappers in the street.
Neighbors complain about being awakened in the wee hours of the morning. They are considering filing a nuisance lawsuit against Donny and Sammy. Would such an action be reasonable? Do you think Donny and Sammy are creating a nuisance? If so, why? If not, where is the line- what amount of late night noise does amount to a nuisance?
