Default Fence responsibilty?


wrote in message

1. If this neighbor decided to remove the shared property line section
of fence that is falling apart, and replace it with a new length,
are you required to chip in with the cost?


N O ! ! !



2. If the neighbor puts up this new section of fence doesn't he have
to have your approval before he puts it on the property line,
otherwise he must put it just inside the property line?


Is it replacing the old section in the same place? If so, probably not.
There may have been an agreement with the original owner of your house
letting it be right on the line.


I ask these questions because I have no use for fences. The shared
fence is only there because of my neighbors pool. I have no clue as to
if the previous owner of my house had any agreement with the original
pool owner about the initial installation of the fence.


Agreement as to placement may be binding, but unless it was disclosed prior
to sale to you, there is no obligation to maintain the fence.
