My neighbors have two hugh Oak trees which hang over into my backyard. The leaves, believe it or not have already started to fall, and every morning my pool is covered with them.

You shouldn't assassinate your neighbor's tree. If the trees don't actually infringe on your property (roots under the structure, branches preventing access to all sides of your house), unfortunately for you, it is your responsibility to clean up the leaves on your property. If the trees hang over and drops leaves, this is a gray area that would best be resolved by you and your neighbor. You can hire a lawyer to investigate the real estate law, but that would be pricey and would cause bitterness between you guys. Find a peaceful agreement to deal with ...(Answered by Rich) |

If you're gonna resod then put stakes and wire with small tie flags spaced every 12in. use stakes that stick up about 2 1/2 ft. and put ''NO TRESPASSING'' signs up and once you post the signs and they still walk through your yard, you now have a legal recourse. you could have them arrested. A private property sign works as well. good luck!...(Answered by The "Axeman" cometh) |

Keep a record book of all the times the dog has been loose. I would also suggest if you do not already own a video camera to buy one and tape the dog running loose.
I wouldn't worry about making enemies, obviously the neighbor doesn't care what her dog is doing in your yard....(Answered by hyacinth_gardener) |

Neighbors?
Any one here a law student or a property owner that has some insight into the laws concerning trees?
If it were not for my neighbors tree, my yard would be clutter and crap free. He just rang my bell and complained about my pool this morning and I have never once complained about his tree raining sap and leaves and branches all over my yard. I assumed we had an understanding to each look the other way and compromise, but I guess not?

You don't need planning for a summer house, well what I mean is it depend on the size you are building. It have to be 5 metres away from your house. Under 4 metres high from the top to bottom of building. If you are not blocking the right of light to yours neighbours then they have no right to make problem for you. But it is nice to tell your neighbours what you are going to do. It is best to speak to local council and get a free Planning guide for householders booklet. Section B page ...(Answered by kelly c) |

you can get the city to put a "no littering sign" up at the citys expence and then report the wrong doers every time you catch them. that will hurt them in the wallet and it should cease. but then you can start a neighbor war. if it were me , and i usually do the WRONG thing, id tell them "ive respectfully asked you to restrain your litter and yet you still disrespect me, either clean up your trash or i will beat you f**kin a** capise?"

Who is responsible for tree damage to neighbors car?
I have a large dead tree in my backyard that has a couple of limbs hanging over the neighbors yard. I have been wanting to remove the tree but he has an old junk car (not tagged or insured) underneath the limbs. A month ago, I asked if he could move the car so I could cut the tree down. He said the car has no engine. He brushed the question off and did not say yes or no. It would only be a matter of time before the whole tree came down and caused more damage so I decided ...

This sounds like a job for Judge Alex. (bad joke) Write down dates and times you spoke to your neighbor about the situation. Get names of any witnesses to you speaking to him about the situation. Does you neighborhood have a homeowners association, or are you in an unrestricted neighborhood? Most HOA's have rules about storing unoperatable vehicles on the property unless it's in the garage out of sight. Be upbeat and friendly to your neighbor, but dont let him try to suck money out of you for a vehicle he apparently has no money to fix or move anyway. ...(Answered by swsw1fu) |
