Neighbor Sues Neighbor

May 26, 2010 in Amazing Stories by admin

Can you imagine suing your neighbor over a haircut?

Rhonda Johnson did just that in 1987.

Johnson alleged that her neighbor “willfully, intentionally and maliciously” cut her hair without her consent, in Broward Country FL civil court.

Johnson further claimed the haircut took place in the kitchen of her house while she was sitting at the table.

She sued her neighbor who said Johnson asked for the haircut.  Johnson claimed the unlicensed neighbor caused her emotional distress for 6 months, until her hair grew back.

She sought $250,000 in damages and was awarded $98,000.  While Florida Law protected the neighbor’s personal residence, it did not protect several out-of-state rental properties, which had to be sold to settle the suit.

Like the Colorado case, the neighbor’s property would have been protected by a simple property trust which they could have drafted and recorded themselves.
