OACETT Professional Practice Examination (PPE) Practice Test

The option that is indicative of private nuisance is focused on the injury caused to an individual's property. Private nuisance involves a situation where a person's use or enjoyment of their land is interfered with by a neighbor's activities, leading to harm or damage. This could manifest as excessive noise, smells, or other disturbances that negatively impact the use of one's property.

In legal terms, private nuisance typically refers to situations where the interference is specific to an individual rather than the public at large. To qualify as a private nuisance, the disturbance must be substantial and unreasonable, causing actual harm to another's property or the enjoyment of that property.

The other choices highlight broader issues or concepts that do not specifically pertain to the defined legal aspects of private nuisance. For instance, affecting multiple citizens leans more towards public nuisance, and a legal action against a private individual may not necessarily relate directly to property issues. Social unrest generally implies more extensive community disturbances rather than individual disputes. Thus, injury to an individual's property is the clear hallmark of a private nuisance situation.
