Essentially a nuisance is anything that interferes with the comfortable enjoyment of life and property, or tends to depreciate the value of the property of others.

Legally speaking, it is some condition on your property or some use of your property that interferes with a neighbouring owner’s ability to enjoy their property. For example, if dense smoke or loud noises are emitted from your property, a neighbouring owner can claim it is a nuisance. A judge may require you to stop creating the nuisance and to compensate the other owner for any losses.
