The following are some situations you should consider before removig the fence. If you need to enter their property in order to remove the fence you should notify them when you will be doing the removal. If there is some deed restriction, agreement or condition that requires you to maintain a fence then you will need to obey those terms. If your fence forms part of the fenced in area that encloses dogs or other animals on your neighbor's property it would be prudent for you to give your neighbor adequate notice of the removal so they can make other arrangements to contain and protect their animals. If it forms part of the required fenced in area that provides a child-barrier to your neighbors swimming pool you should provide notice so they may make other arrangements to child-proof the pool. If removing the fence will cause damage to your neighbor's property then you must take the necessary steps to avoid that damage and repair any damage that is done. Otherwise, if it is your fence on your property then you should be within your rights to remove it.

What can you do when your neighbor reached over the fence and cut your tree down?
Get an attorney to advise you.
You are private tenant neighbor is council Fence fell down she threw all old fence panels and rubbish into my garden what should i do?
(If you can prove that it is more likely than not that the neighbor dumped the fence panels): Hire a licensed contractor to remove the fence panels. Then, take the offending neighbor to small claims court for the amount of money you paid the contractor to remove the panels.
What if your neigbor cut down a fence on both are property lines you have a pool can you make him pay for part of the replacement fence?
That depends on who owns the fence. If it belongs to the neighbor then he can take it down. He should have warned you so you could plan to replace it if you were using it to fence in your pool.
If your neighbor tore your chain link fence down and replaced it with a wooden fence further on your property is there any recourse?

Can neighbor use fence on your property?
If a neighbor wanted to install a fence the fence has to be on the neighbors property entirely. Not half the fence on your side and half on the neighbors side. There are also zoning regulations that deal with issues like this. Some counties will not allow a fence to be over five feet tall and they have to be constructed using only approved materials. I know that in my neighborhood metal fences are against code and they can only be constructed using fence block. If I were you I would call the city planning office and ask them, they will have a definitive answer. Who knows, maybe the fence was put up without the proper permits and your neighbor has to take the entire thing down.

Are you allowed to attach a piece of wood to your fence on your neighbors side?
Generally no unless the piece will still remain within your property line, and even so a protruding piece of wood could be a hazard that you could be liable for. If it's a matter of the fence no longer being stable, you are responsible for your fence and if you can't stabilize it from your side of the property, you have a choice to ask your neighbor if it would be ok to stabilize it from their side, or to have it fixed so it doesn't need support, or take it down. One of the best ways of getting it fixed without paying 100% is if your neighbor likes having a fence you can say you'll have to take it down...unless they're willing to assist you --- but beware winding owning the fence with your neighbor -- the whole point of a fence is usually to keep you and your neighbor at a "friendly" distance.

What if your neighbor nails into your fence without permission Now the fence is old and I want to tear it down is there any obligation to the neighbors on my part?
You have no obligation, especially as they did not seek permission to attach. Simply detach theirs by any reasonable means and go your merry way. you should just have a discution with your next door neighbor and see why he\she stuck a nail threw your fence
What if you dont want a fence on a common boundary?
Then put it on your side of the boundary ( be sure by locating property lines exactly) then make sure you're conforming to your local building code as to height and other restrictions. That way if your neighbor doesn't like it he can't force you to take it down. ===A Different Perspective=== If you DON'T want a fence on your common boundary it sounds like your neighbor DOES want one. As long as your neighbor follows the local ordinances that control fences there is nothing you can do if they want to erect a fence providing the fence conforms to local regulations.
If your neighbor and you have a common fence face-interchanging sides separated by a 4 inch wood between the sides is it legal to put a 3 inch high net over your fence on this 4 inch wood?
Depends on who owns the fence, i.e. whose property it is on or who bought it in the first place. Often one person installs a fence (maybe 3 owners ago) then allows the neighbor to install wood on their side of the owners fence. This wood is the owners wood but people do it cause it is cheaper than installing a second fence on their own property. If you own the fence (its on your property) then you can do whatever you want including tear it down. If it is on their property they can tell you what you can or can't do. The best thing is to go to the neighbor and actually talk with them about what you'd like to do.
