Working on unpaking my rental car when I returned from vaccation. I got some bad news. The new neibors are cutting all the trees out of my side yard. Called the Mayor's office and then directed to the surveyers dept. I was told that if the trunk was on their side they could cut it. Even if the tree itself was in my yard. He said if it was on the line we had to agree.
Well I got a copy from the bank of the survey. Well low and behold the fence was way off. It should be 5 foot farther over. I had the same thing on the other side to. This was a rental property before I got it and nobody here cared where fences were put. I gonna survey it and move the fence. Turns out the trees I was worried about are 4 foot inside my property.
Not a good thing to find when you return from vaccation. But seems their lack of co-operation worked out to my benifit.
