[quote=Anonymous]So before I get sent back to Montana, let me say that I grew up in an apartment building and have been living in various row houses since I came to DC. I experienced my fair share of having to manage common space and somehow it never turned into an issue. The critical thing  though was for everyone to understand what common actually meant. OP's neighbor's strip of grass is NOT common space and his neighbors should not feel entitled to use it as they please. Given that the neighbor, who knows what OP's lot looks like, suggested her to move her fence, there does not seem to be any obstacle other than her not wanting to pay for that. And there is no need to affect the fence of the adjoining properties either. She can just fence out a small area that just fits the cans and have doors leading to it from her backyard and from the alley. On trash days she opens the gate to the alley while keeping the other gate locked. Like that everything is secure, the trash is accessible, the alley is not blocked and no use of somebody else's property is necessary. [/quote]
