reserves the right to make a showing of more serious harm and to seek to enjoin the nuisance

Seems to be a straight-forward reservation of the right to seek other remedies.

Nuisance may not be the best term here; it depends whether the context bears out that we are in fact dealing with a public or private nuisance. Otherwise, "trouble" could be rendered as "harmful activity" or "deleterious activity" or "prejudicial activity".

right to prove a greater loss and to obtain an end to the disturbance

I agree with Antonio's comments as to the meaning; just a question of how it is expressed. I'd keep it in as plain English as possible: "the right to prove a greater loss and to obtain an end to the disturbance and compensation through all legal ways and means."
Peer comment(s):

neutral B D Finch : I don't think that "disturbance" is right here. Rather draconian terms of employment - so I think that keeping the translation in intimidating legalese is correct.
