It depends on the tree. River birches for example drop small (but often long) branches quite frequently.

We have two trees that are right on the line. I have no idea whose they actually are. The property next door is a rental so we do the maintenance. One may need to come down. Idealy we would share the cost but i am guessing we will pay.
What does this mean?

When’s the last time you had an arborist remove dead branches and thin the crown? If it’s dropping that many branches and sticks, there’s a problem that you are responsible for. A branch falling “by an act of God” is a high wind speed storm that happens to randomly break a branch. Not constant “regular” falling of branches and debris. Furthermore, if they are throwing them on your side, take the social cue. They’re done with your mess. You’re lucky no one has been hit in the head yet. Who cares that the tree was there before you. If I bought a property with a sink hole, I can’t say it was there before me and let people fall into it. It’s your tree. You bought it. Fix the problem and be a decent person.
