29. A private nuisance occurs when a person substantially and unreasonably interferes with a property owner’s use or enjoyment of their property.

However, if the person is not aware of the problem that causes the interference, and had no reason to know of the problem, they will not be liable because they did not act unreasonably (see Theberge v. Zittlau, 2000 BCPC 255).
