You broke a window cutting the lawn for neighbor who pays you?

Why must i pay my neighbor for a water well that is located on the property i purchased?
Possibly the neighbor payed for some of the well on your property, and you must pay him back the money you owe him for the well. Also, he may have installed the well, and made and paid for it and made a deal with the last owner of the house for the owner to pay it all back to the neighbor. If there isn't anything owed to the neighbor, then you don't have to pay your neighbor for a water well that is on your property that you legally purchased.

Neighbor pays for dinner?
If the neighbor reaches for the check, offer to pay your share if this was not a formal invitation. If neighbor says " No, I insist." let him.

What should you do if your townhome neighbor's water leak damaged your wood floor?
Assuming you have insurance, you should first of all tell your insurance company about the damage. If you have insurance your insurance company should repair the damage for you (at no charge to you) and it is up to them to ask your neighbor to pay for the repairs.However, it is also important that you politely tell your neighbor about the damage (to ensure that the leak that caused it is fixed) and that you are going to ask your insurance to fix the damage.If you have to pay an excess on your insurance policy claim, you can ask your insurance company to recover this from the neighbor for you - if this is not possible to do you will have to pay this excess and may have to pursue your neighbor for it yourself.If you have no insurance, and the damage is definitely caused by your neighbor, you should politely ask him to repair the leak then ask him to pay for the damage to your floor caused by it. You may need some quotes for the work to show your neighbor. If he refuses to pay, your only recourse is to go to court to make him pay. Depending on the scale of the damage this may or may not be worthwhile. It is much easier if you have insurance!
A female neighbor got locked out of their house and asked me to force the door open for her so should I now feel guilty that the door broke when I kicked it in and she now has to pay for a new one?
You could have phoned a Lock Smith if it was during the day or, broken a window instead of her front door, but the point was you did get her into the house. However, now you have left her without any safety in her own home because her door is broken. You were being a good Samaritan, but a little over zealous. Doors are not cheap, so, if you feel that guilty pay for half the cost of the door.

Repairing a Window: Hiring a Repair Man?
When a window breaks, it can be one of the most annoying things to deal with in a home. No person wants to have to go out and purchase an entirely new window. At the same time, a person should not feel confident that he or she can simply put some tape on the window and it will be fine. This article will discuss some of the ways a person should treat a window that is broken. If a window has a crack right down the middle, then a person should contact a window repair person. This is a sort of situation in which it is too dangerous for a person to even touch the window, because it may simply shatter onto the person. So many home owners get injured every year because they do not take this advice and instead try to fix the window themselves. They often end up with cut up wrists or even fingers that are sliced off because of not taking this advice. A window repair person will know whether or not the window needs to be replaced. It is wise to have a window repair person look at the window and give you an estimate of how much if will cost to either fix or replace the window. Sometimes it is just cheaper to completely replace a window, rather than try to repair it at extraordinary costs. A person may even be able to get a neighbor to pay for the new window, if it was his or her fault. In suburbs, windows are often broken when children are playing in the yard and accidentally hit a baseball onto a window. While these kids may be well intentioned, it does not mean their parents should not have to pay for the damage. It is a good idea to meet with the parents directly and ask them to pay for the damages created by their sons or daughters. Many parents are usually more than willing to pay for window damages and feel very badly about the entire situation. It should not be a problem to get compensated for a window repair that was not your fault.
