My Airbnb neighbor has decided to put their grill a foot away from the side of my house and all the smoke and grease is on my side wall.

It's a CYV where my side wall is inside her fenced-in yard.

Before I ask them to move it closer to their house what are the rules for how close a grill can be to your neighbor's house or even your own house?

Contact Public Safety Fire Department.

My neighbor back in Marblehead, MA actually had his house catch fire due to a grease fire in his grill. The house had wood siding.

Grease fires can be common due to buildup. I would feel very comfortable in requesting the neighbor to move it away from your house as a matter of "SAFETY".

I would contact the Villages Offices. They are helpful in these matters. They may even send a representative to speak to both you and the neighbor.

If, Air B nb. They are renting so you are not dealing with the property owner. Making the issue even more complex. Our previous home, not in Florida, we had the neighbors from hell buy the home next door to us. Part of the reason we moved after 40 years of enjoying the house and the neighborhood. So far, we've been lucky. There is always one but they are several houses away from us.

If the Air b&b has an absentee landlord, I would just move the thing against their wall.
Renter must have moved it if questions are raised.
Otherwise just ask nicely to remove it to their wall, as the thing is dirtying your siding, and is a fire risk.

Move it yourself.

Put it on the street marked free!

Call a realtor today and sell. There isn't any other way to be free of the Villages AirBnBs. They are destroying everything nice.

Or maybe just slip a dead rat in there. Might solve both the grill and Airbnb problem.

Not ideal suggestion but funny!

Move it after the current tenants move out. Far away from the side of your home. Or ask them if you can move it. If they are nice they'll help you, if not you'll have to wait.

I am a landlord. I had trouble with renters moving my grill up against the house. They did it because there was shade there. So maybe this landlord doesn't even know of the problem.

I eventually had to stake and chain mine in place.

A few years back, my buddy set his house on fire with a BBQ grill next to the house.

Trespassing is never a good idea.

Look at your deed restrictions to see what rights you have. You may have some control over the use of the property next to your wall. You may also have rights to access that area.

Customer Service Center and/or the VPSD would be the best to contact regarding the rules.
