The most important solutions include increasing the neighbors' awareness of each other's status and mutual rights, observing ethical principles in managing the shared affairs of the apartment, understanding the inevitability of some disturbances in neighborly life, adhering to neighborly ethics, and finally appealing to jurisdiction (the last resort) by trying to revive friendship and brotherhood.
