What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? GA
I'm in the military and bought my first home 2 yrs ago. It is a small home on a zero lot line property. Ever since I moved in, I have had to deal with the one neighbor on the zero lot line being disrespectful of my property. It started when she would let her 3 dogs run loose on my lawn to mess everywhere daily. I was like she was encouraging them to mess on my lawn so she wouldn't have to clean up hers. Well, I finally asked her politely one day to please pick up after her dog messes on my yard and she got all snippy, but it worked. Later on, she decides to pressure wash the side of my home on the zero lot line without asking me (wants it to look pretty since sh has to look at it in her backyard). After asking her why she was doing it without my permission, she told me to F*** off and kept on. I thought about calling to police at that point because she could have caused water damage under my vinyl siding, but I dropped it since nothing was wrong. Now, I get back from a 6-month deployment and her vines are totally overgrown up the side of my home on the zero lot line to where they are up in the roof soffets. I can't trim them because they are in her backyard, nor do I feel it is my responsibility to.
I have written her a stern letter since after the F*** off incident, speaking with her is out of the question. In the letter, I recap all the incidents above (leaving many little ones out); school her up on the fact that although we live on zero lot line properties, the side of my home is NOT hers; and finally state that if she fails to stay off the side of my home, I will persue legal action.
Basically, I am tired of dealing with this headache. I want to live a normal suburban life with my wife, but it feels as though we always have to be on the defensive. It's stressful. My question is what legal action can I pursue to keep her off the side of my home if she doesn't get a clue from the letter?
Thanks.
