A-hole neighbor broke my fence and refuses to pay to fix it

[Anonymous]

It is $400. You did more than I would have done. It isn't worth the time and energy to take him to small claims court.

I gave my survey to the fence installers eight years ago, and they installed it inside the property line.

I'm more upset at his behavior than anything else. Normal people don't behave like this. He has six acres! Even if my fence were an inch or two on his property (an honest mistake in any case) why would that matter to him? If the situation were reversed, it wouldn't matter to me. And he has shown me no proof whatsoever that the fence is on his property. He just claims it is as an excuse to not pay to repair my fence.

I don't get it.

I smell privilege

We have a neighbor like that too and keeps trying to take our property. One did and its so frustrating. Then they lie and tell all kinds of terrible things to other people about us who have no clue as we keep to ourselves.

You sound a little paranoid and pretty vague about your situation. How can someone repeatedly be trying to take your property? Do a boundary survey and get boundary markers. It's a very simple way to establish the true property line, if that's the issue.

We have a survey and they later did one. Their plants are on our property and where they want to put the fence is on ours too. Another neighbor put a fence on our property and we called permitting as they pulled a permit and agency refused to help. We know exactly where the lines are.

If you can’t get along with the neighbors on both sides, perhaps you should consider that you might be the problem.

Right, so I should just be ok with neighbors doing what ever they want on our property without regard for our wishes/needs? I'd love to put a fence on the property line but they put big bushes there that would need to be removed, which they refuse to do.

The subject line of this thread (using the word A-hole) tells me that OP seems hot-headed.

Then it's HIS FENCE lady.

Are the boundaries staked? If not then you actually don’t know where the lines are.

You gave your survey to a fence contractor? What good is that? You need a professional surveyor to stake the boundary and then your fence should be located at least two inches inside the boundary to account for error.

Shouldn't the landscaper have paid for the damage they cause?

this. probably too late

Also if you hired someone to do a repair and they only charged you $400 most likely was a repair you could your self with $40 bucks of material

Why is it OK for OP to call someone they dislike autistic. How's that different than calling someone you don't like gay. This entire thread should be deleted given how many times OP uses autism as an insult.

It's NOT her fence!

All she has is his word on that. He just claims that it's true, he didn't show her a survey.

OP deserves the hate for the weird ableist 'he has ASD' shit, but I don't get the hate about the fence. She has no proof it's on his land. He hasn't provided any proof, he just claims it exists.

Yet she doesn't have any proof that it is on her land.

I sent him and his wife a very polite request for repayment, and they both ignored it. They didn't reply that they didn't owe me anything, they simply didn't reply at all. That tells me that very likely, his claim that my fence is on his property is NOT true. Otherwise he would have said so in writing.

What now? If the fence is on his land, it is still your property? That's not how this works.

Send the bill to the landscaper but you really should have spoken to them already
