What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
My neigbor on a rental property is constantly trespassing onto my property. They are rebuilding an old house by themselves for the past 2 years with the end nowhere in sight. The probem is that these are old houses from the late 1800s and they have been built right on the property line. So the neigbor's house is right between our property line (a few inches away). THere is about 6 feet between their house and ours. There is a partial fence between the backyards but the fence does not extend up right to the sidewalk. I want to erect a fence so that I can claim trespass when that occurs. My fear though is that they will just come and take down the fence the next day and continue with their endless construction. I want to set up my bases prior to getting the fence installed so I am prepared to tackle them if they took down the fence. They don't see my permission and are sprawled over, with their family members et al whenever they like. The police and the city of san jose never respond and always just dismiss the complaint calling it a civil matter. Any help on what I can do will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
