How do you write a letter to a neighbor about their hazardous trees possibly damaging your property?
Your letter should be friendly, direct, well written and polite. You should begin by saying something like, "Everyone is so busy these days that we wanted to bring something to your attention that you may have not noticed." You should simply state the facts and enclose a couple of photos to illustrate your point. It might be helpful to take a photo of the path the tree will take when/if it comes down that will also serve to imply the damages it will cause.
Inform your neighbor the tree is in need of removal and state clearly the reasons why. If the tree has already caused any problems explain them simply with just the facts. For example:
- Several branches have already come down and the clean up was a considerable amount of work.
- Several small branches have fallen on our car and we do not want to wait until there is serious damage done.
- Large branches are growing over our garage roof and causing moisture damage.
- The tree is in such a hazardous condition we are concerned that the next big storm will take it down.
You might add that your insurance company has advised you to contact the neighbor in writing in case the company is asked to pay for damages when the tree finally falls. You can offer to make a contribution to the cost if you are willing, can afford it and want to do everything possible to get your neighbor to have it removed.
End your letter with a friendly, positive statement such as, "Thanks for your attention to this problem." Send the letter by certified mail and keep you green card in a file along with a copy of the letter and copies of the photos you sent.
Either your neighbor will act upon receiving your letter or ignore it. If there is a disaster caused by that tree, or if you need to sue for damages at some later date, the green card, letter and photos will be prima facie evidence that your neighbor was negligent.
