[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 2045756, member: 14646"] Similar issue at my house. The property line fince between the neighbors home and mine was in bad shape. Old wood Amd overgrown with vines and rotten with termites. The neighbors are very nice but renters. They lease it through a broker. I needed to replace it as I did a full front yard remodel and the fence was part of that as it extended to the front property line. I wanted to do a block wall. Neighbor said he didn't want to pay since he was a renter which I agree with him. Said if he owned it he would split the cost. I spoke to the lease company and they said the owner didn't want to pay. (Come to find out the owner inherited the house from his mom when she died years ago, with no money owed on property and he was independently wealthy.). I decided to build the wall my self, footing and all. I went back to the leasing company and told them the entire wall and footing is 6" on my side of the property line and if they paint, hang, attach anything to the wall it will be remove by me immediately and that the wall is not to be touched. The leasing company was a bit defensive but got the point. The neighbor couldn't have agreed more with me. [/QUOTE]
