Which term describes a nuisance that is present at all times and under any conditions, regardless of location?

• A. Public nuisance
• B. Conversion
• C. Nuisance per se
• D. Intentional nuisance

Answer: (C)

Nuisance per se means the nuisance is inherent in the act or thing itself, so it exists regardless of where it occurs or the surrounding conditions. Because its nuisance quality is built into its nature, it is present at all times and under any location. Public nuisance involves interference with a right of the community as a whole, which depends on context and impact, not being universally present. Conversion is about wrongful interference with someone’s property rights, not about nuisance status. Intentional nuisance focuses on the actor’s purpose behind creating the nuisance, not on whether the nuisance would be present anywhere and anytime. So the term that describes a nuisance that is present at all times under any conditions is nuisance per se.
