Can you claim against your neighbor for fire damage to your property where the fire started on his property but negligence cannot be proven?

There is usually no need to file a suit. You just notify your insurer of your loss. That's what you bought insurance for. If they determine the neighbor is liable for your damages, the insurer will subrogate from the neighbor.
If your insurer refuses to pay for your loss and you are convinced your neighbor is liable for the fire and resulting damages, then you might consider a suit.
Bear in mind that just because the fire started on your neighbors side, doesn't necessarily mean that they started the fire themselves or are financially liable for it.
I would also recommend to contact your insurance company ASAP.

If your house catch fire after you told the landlord about the electricity can you sue him?
Assuming the fire was started by some fault in the apartment in which you brought to attention of the property owners who failed to fix or correct the issue within a reasonable time frame, then yes, you're entitled to sue for negligence and property damage. If you have rental insurance, the landlord may also be required to reimburse the agency for the fire started based on their negligence. Secondly, the homeowners insurance themselves may refuse to pay for the repair because of the fire being negligent caused by failure to repair.
If your neighbor starts a fire that spreads to your yard and causes damage to your home is your neighbor's insurer responsible?

How can you make up a petition for people to sign re a troublesome neighbor?
You can do it up on the computer. Explain who the person is and why the petition and "bullet" the arguements against the neighbor. Then you go to other neighbors in the neighborhood and some will sign, some won't. Don't go out of your neighborhood for signatures or you lose the benefit of the troublesome neighbor: Example: This is a petition started on April 16th, 2007 against our neighbor Mr. John Smith regarding these complaints: * Has loud parties all weekend and refuses to listen to reason and abide by the noise by-laws. * Mr. Smith's yard is full of old furniture and looks like a garbage dump and is devaluating our property. * Mr. Smith approaches and threatens our children * Mr. Smith has threatened to poison our pets. We have tried to contact Mr. Smith but he refuses to answer his telephone and we have also confronted him, but he has an abusive and argumentative attitude. Of course the above may not be any of the problems you have with your neighbor, but just gives you an idea of how to draw-up the petition and get to the point.
