i think your example is different, in that the "neighbor" has control over and use of the property, with the ability to invite guests over, and to get them to leave if they are causing problems

thus the neighbor is the one with control of the use of the property, and so it is the neighbor who is causing the problems

the owner (i'm assuming the neighbor is a tenant, and someone else is the owner) if he has leased the property to the tenant does not have the right to use the premises during the term of the lease

the owner cannot have parties there, invite guests over, tell guests to leave, etc.: all he can do is visit for maintenance, to show to new potential tenants, etc.; so under lease law, the owner does not use and control the premises for his own purposes

there is the principle of anyone can sue anyone for anything, and in the interests of not having fights with other residents in the area an owner has an interest in trying to evict problem tenants, but in your example a third party would have a right of action against the "neighbor", the kids, and their parents
