My neighbour peers over the fence – do I have a right to privacy?
Legally there is no right to privacy and nothing you can do about a neighbour who looks into your property or listens to what is going on there. Apart from asking the neighbour not to look into your house, you could take action such as building a higher fence, planting screening trees or shrubs, or hanging heavier curtains.
