[quote=Anonymous]I actually have a rental property in that area, and my next door neighbor has a rental property as well.  She's a pain---and constantly bothering me about my property b/c she feels it devalues her property value b/c my property isn't 'well maintained' enough for her tastes.  My renters are happy, and theres no HOA so to be honest, there's no real reason for me to go crazy and make the neighbor happy.  Both her and my home will one day be tear downs as it is, but neither of us is ready to sell just yet.

A while back---I got a certified letter from her attorney (who happens to be her son) saying that if a tree on my property fell or did any damage to her property that I'd be responsible.  I checked with my lawyer, who did some pretty extensive research---and as long as the tree is not dead (determined by an arborist) or dying---there is no way she could come after me---although she had every right to cut the part of the tree on her property line.

I decided to be a nice neighbor anyhow---and cut the tree.  Although, to annoy her, I left the trunk up so it looks like someone started to chop down  tree and then just forgot to finish it.  I'm sure her son is looking up some code for eyesore, but I haven't heard from him yet.  So I wait.[/quote]
