lostone Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 So I put up my fence a few months ago. Didn’t think anything of it. My neighbor asked me if he could attach to my fence. I said cool, just give me half for this side of the fence and we are good. They put up the fence and attach to mine. I wait a few weeks, no ask to pay. I go over and the couple act like they never asked to attach and I had to talk to their son. I talked to the son today and he makes up some BS about me being on the property line and I have to be 2 feet back. He says I am on the line not behind it. Anyway I read the bylaws and he made up that ish. So I am about to be petty and push back my fence 1.5 feet so that they have to buy that side of the fence. I’ll come off 500 for it. It’s annoying, but it has to be done. I am trying to be nice, but it looks like I have to be an arsehole now.

shc Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I get where you are coming from, but you didn’t ask/want half before you put the fence up, right? LouDog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were going to attach to the fence, yes I wanted half for that side. It’s been installed according to the HOA guidelines. They would have to pay over 1k for that side to be installed.

Baby Dik Dik Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 When did they decide to put up a fence? How long after you put up yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Yeah, I would move your fence back and make them have to come out of pocket for their assholery. I have a neighbor who allowed us to attach to theirs for free. The only issue that I had with them is the guy rushed to put his fence up before we moved in. However (stupidly for him) put his fence over the easement where the water runoff drains between our properties and now he has water constantly eroding the bottom of his fence.

I am so easy to get along with and I am fair. It really bothers me when people take advantage of that. I would have gladly given them half the cost if we had roles reversed. Much cheaper than paying for $1k fence. Oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pissed more that I have to behave this way because someone is taking advantage of me being nice. It’s less petty and more me just wanting them to pay full price if they are going to behave like this. (Some won’t get this next statement). It hurts worse because it’s my own people treating me like this. They should be setting an example and they are out here pulling this mess.

But it wasn't like you weren't going to do the fence unless they paid half, right? And if that is the case, I'd let it go. Especially if the parents(who I assume are at least in their mid 60's if not older) own the house and not the son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monarch Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Just let them know you have the full support of an off-topic subforum of a NFL team message board, including one lawyer who specializes in fence law (@mdrake34).
