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.

Can your neighbor drain water on your property?

Maybe, Maybe not. It depends on whether your neighbor is "legally liable" for your water damage. If the neighbor is not liable then they do not have to pay. If the neighbor is liable, it should be covered under the liability portion of your neighbors property insurance policy if he selected liability coverage when he purchased his policy.


Can you redirect water onto someone else's property?

Whether or not you can divert water onto your neighbor's property depends on where you live. In most states, if you do something to cause water to run onto your neighbors property and damage occurs, you will be responsible. In a few states, that rule does not apply and it would be up to your neighbor to protect himself


Are you liable for neighbors water lines on your property?

It is likely that you are liable for any damage if your neighbor has easement rights to maintain a water line. If they have easement rights it is likely they include the right to replace and repair the lines. You should check your deed first. Easement rights may be mentioned. If not, you should contact the attorney who represented you when you purchased your property and ask if the property is subject to any easement rights that are not mentioned in your deed.It is likely that you are liable for any damage if your neighbor has easement rights to maintain a water line.

Are you responsible for damage to personal property other than your own if water damage occurs in your apartment?

If you were aware of a leak....informed no one, took no steps to repair or prevent the water from escaping your apartment and damaging your neighbor's goods......you are. However, if you are talking of a sudden and accidental occurence....neither you, the neighbors or the owner/landlord had warning or knowledge of the potential water escaping...your insurance covers your property, the neighbor's insurance covers his etc...


If water damage to condo ceiling is caused by upstairs neighbor but you do not have homeowners policy will neighbor's liability cover damage or do you need to get new policy before pursuing?

depends on circumstances if liability policy of neighbor would respond - are they negligent? also an insurance policy is occurrence based - the occurrence would have occurred before you purchased a unit owner policy - therefore the water damage would be excluded.


You are land locked to your property does neighbor have to let us cross his land to get to ours?

Depends where you are; you must research the law of the state where the land is located. Some states have laws that mandate access across the adjacent property to the nearest "public" road". Other states do not and you are at your peril buying land you can't get to via surface routes. If there is a navigable stream starting from some access point upstream to your land through the neighbor's you may have riparian rights but it may not help much depending on the water course. And if we're talking land that is zoned or can be zoned for incoming air traffic like a helicopter, it may not be an issue unless the neighbor could object if a zoning hearing is required....
