Problem with neighbour - what would YOU do?

[St. Phatty]

Could just sell it on Craigslist, or give it away free.

The dude needs more space, happens to everybody - and not your problem as long as he doesn't rent from you.

 

[OranguTrump]

So i do not understand for one how he has to keep some gate unlocked /?? there should be your gate and his gate but what ever

Or sneak up behind him and give him the pet rose swing to the back of the head with that base ball bat he won't remember a thing ever again use the brush that he has on ground to back track and get rid of any tracks use a hairnet and gloves
problem solved

Rough sketch of my problem.

I like the bat idea - it's kinda my first thought when provoked.

 

[OranguTrump]

The dude needs more space, happens to everybody - and not your problem as long as he doesn't rent from you.

He has empty backyard & 8 feet of space next to HIS house. Doesn't pile shit up against his own place because who wants shit piled up against their own house (ants, mice, etc.).

He's either a fucking moron or a selfish prick who doesn't give a shit.

Either way, it's MY problem now & I want this to be LAST time.

Thanks to all for joining in - I'm fit to be tied & ready to kick some teeth in. I'm not a small guy, there's a pic of me laying on Bob Marley's meditation rock posted here, and I have no qualms about using my size advantage to clear up any misunderstandings.

Sounds like your interest is in kicking some ass and not dealing with some kind of legitimate boundary dispute. Good luck.

 

[Scrappy-doo]

He has no respect. Your tried the polite approach. Time to start applying pressure.

Talk to a lawyer. Only then will any legitimate options be revealed. Take it into your own hands and it may work in your favor, or it may backfire. You want the law on your side for this problem.

This is all assuming your neighbor is completely unaware of your hobby and security protocol is in check. If you have reason to believe they might have even a suspicion, the solution will be more complicated.

Knock on his Door and say let me have a word with u in private . Then walk him over to side of house where the trash is . Then u say Hey Man do you see anything wrong with this Picture . I'm sure u can handle it from there .

 

[BakedBandit]

Contact his landlord.

Good fences make good neighbors

There is some sound advice to be found in here. Don't go the tuff guy route it's usually costly and there are less stressful ways. I would look into a property survey and if neighbors current fenci meets local regulations, permit required build to code etc? I def wouldn't try dealing with the tenant but more so with the actual owner. Your still at a point were this could be worked out without the possibility of going to county and eating that bologna sandwich and being on papers which sucks. hopefully his lease runs out and he goes on his way and the next neighbor isn't as bad or worse. Some people just suck at life good luck bud I feel your pain.

Seems like a fence, front to back down your property line with or without a gate on your side of the front property line would solve the problem.
I wouldnt want his driveway on my property either. I would notify the landlord/property owner of my intent so he has enough notice to bump the driveway over within his boundary lines.
I would not discuss it with the tenant. Let the landlord tell the tenant what is going on.

Ya, I agree that this neighbor is a douche... And since dropping him in the ocean is a bit extreme.. I would contact the landlord and notify him of the problem and the efforts you have taken to deal with it (repeatedly speaking to tenant). If that doesn't get it cleaned up real quick then build a fence on ur property line... So he'd have to go over ur fence to dump onto ur property.
Actually on second thought I'd pull any necessary permits and build ur self a nice tall (as tall as possible given any local zoning laws) fence right on the property line...
Fuck this neighbor.. But being all Agro only works in the boonies or the hood.. Not much good can come of it in suburbia

 

[Stoner4Life]

make your move, buy your neighbors house. although chains & cinder blocks are cheaper.......

 

[Sensi Smoke]

I would not resort to agression or violance unless he gets agressive with you.

If he actually does suffer with memory loss and it's a registered medical condition, then it's not really his fault and has no bad intentions.

You should knock on his door when he is home and just say, where can you please move all of the cut down brush because I will help you move it now.

 

[WelderDan]

Don't threaten the guy or do anything that puts you in a bad light. Document the junk he piles against your house with pictures.

Drop $500 on a lawyer to draw up a cease and desist and deliver it to his landlord via certified mail so you know the landlord got it. It is on the landlord to correct the situation. The threat of legal action should be enough to get the landlord off his ass. When the tenant becomes a problem for the landlord, you have the upper hand.

Don't bust up your knuckles on a chuckle head, or get yourself arrested for threatening to stomp his ass.

Better to drop $500 on a lawyer to handle it than $5000 on bail and more money on court fees and even more on a defense lawyer.

Thanks again to all the folks joining this thread & yes, there is some solid advice here - I am reading every word.

BTW - to the folks thinking/saying I'm just wanting to kick some ass, I've not laid a finger nor threatened this guy (or any other live person) in many a year, so that's not what this is about. Yes, I am pissed off but I've been here a couple times before & my previous serious attempts to stop the behaviour seems to have fallen on deaf ears (OK, not deaf - just ears owned by a douchenozzle who just doesn't get it).

Putting a fence in seems to be my only long term solution - the owner will lose a good chunk of his driveway but that's not my problem. The pile of brush, leaves & assorted backyard debris looks like a fucking hedge planted in asphalt right up against my house.

I asked nicely the first time, I told him quietly but firmly the second time -not doing the dance a third time.

 

[Sensi Smoke]

Goodluck with whatever decision you make Orangu

 

[TNTBudSticker]

I would contact the landlord and notify him of the problem and take pictures and ask nicely to fix said problem.

Then if said problem not taken care of,then the police will help solve it.

Seems the LandLord showed up at the last minute to help the situation so He can help again..Thank him for the first time.And now he needs to solve the problem or give you a key to the lock.One does not bring a lock and then having access problems and the landlord might have to ask or having YOU put a lock on it and sharing THAT key with HIS tenants then you have access.Nothing wrong with calling next door and letting them know you're going to use the gate the next day so it's planned.

It's the same thing as having a garage door opener for room mates in the house.One leaves and doesn't leave the opener but wants their deposit from the room mates when the garage opener came with the house and has nothing to do with the tenants.It's a Landlord issue.Tenants are sometimes dumb enough to impress an homeowner but nonetheless not impressed at all.

Fighting is always out of the equation when looking for solutions. Weird problems call for weird solutions. As someone said, "if you can't be chic, be odd". So... Buy a rat. I think they're sold frozen for snakes in petshops. Defrost it and hold it by the tail and go to him saying the vermin came from his pile of garbage. Saw it to your wife too, so she gets harangued. Nickname him Rat-Man so the neighbours point their fingers at him. Address him jokingly as Rat-Man every time you meet him. If he takes offense, tell him you are not the rat breeder piling garbage against decent folk homes. Wear your pastafari hat at all times as an exculpatory statement, just in case.
If he still doesn't remember that, he needs another head.
If it doesn't work, you can go to plan two: Witchcraft! Just need a piece of chalk. Steptoe to his doorstep, unseen, and next to the keylock draw a tiny cross. When he comes home, he'll be puzzled, but he won't make much of it. Repeat the operation a few days later. He'll get suspicious and he'll be asking around if anyone seen anything. Wait five or more days and do it again. By now he'll be sure someone's fooling around with unknown intentions. Now, for the final bit. Draw a slightly bigger cross, in bright red. He'll be running down the street screaming for help never to be seen again while you hold your belly with both hands laughing of victory. That's how wichtcraft works.
Maybe them are not the best ideas, but... an attorney for an mildly annoying neighbour? What can be achieved that way apart from feeding the attorney? People's petty troubles should be sorted out between people. Passing the problem to the landlord might be the most sensible thing, but if he doesn't do anything, use witchcraft against him. I think it's legal nowadays.
