What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oakland, CA
Hello. I purchased my property a year ago, had it remodeled, and moved in three months ago. There is fencing around my property which defines the property line. There is a side gate on the east side of my property that leads to a walkway between my house and the neighbors house which leads to my back yard. The neighbors tenant is seemingly obsessed with the lock to that gate and DEMANDS it remain locked at all times as she is afraid that intruders will access this neighbors yard where she lives. However, their yard is bordered by three to four other back yards, including mine, and is visible/accessible from two to three other yards to the west of us (all yards side by side and face each other on opposing streets).
The walk-way in question houses the PG&E meters to my neighbor property and as a result we all have the keys, specifically for meter access. I keep the gate locked anyway for my own protection, but even when I was present, in the back yard working, she came out to speak to me about locking the gate still.
I wish to contact the owner to inform her that this tenant is harassing me and possibly my own tenants (I own a fourplex and live in one apartment). What are this next door neighbors, tenant's real rights regarding the shared lock and what should be my course of action to curtail this nuisance to enjoyment of my gate and yard?
