What is the name of your state? New York-Dutchess County

Late last year I purchased a rental property. The next door neighbor gave us hell all through out the renovation process claiming the driveway is part of their property. I purchased the property with the understanding the driveway came with it. I recently got a survey which shows that 98% of the driveway is indeed mine. I first gave them ample notice about the results of the survey then towed their junk van that they left on my driveway for the past 3 months. Now they have one tire of their other vehicle on my property. What actions if any should I take. I am absolutely sick of these people. My tenants have the right to park there not them. Any feedback would be appreciated

I would like to have them off my property once and for all. I do not want them to even park on an inch of my property.

**A: one tire? One tire affects the useability of the driveway? What is the vehicle, a front end loader?

if 98% of your driveway is on YOUR property then 2% of the driveway is on THEIR property. So, unless the tire is indeed wider then that 2% (and a judge would have a good laugh trying to see you figure that one out, you're out of luck.

There are stakes in the ground from the surveyor. So I really do not have to figure out a thing. There tire is beyond the stake on my property.

**A: by how many inches?

The tire is about 12" past the stakes. The surveyor had to put the stake behind and in fron of the truck because they would not move the truck

Oh and also one more thing. They dug a hole on my piece of the property thinking they were going to put up a fence.

No, nothing else. However, you do not have to respond if you have nothing constructive to say. I think I know what I need to do. Thank you

I'm also curious as what you are going to do. But I do have a idea for you as well. If you really want to end the headaches your neighbour gives you, why don't you just put up a privacy fence a couple inches from your survey stakes, going all the way down that side of your property an driveway. And if you're so inclined put up some no trespassing signs on your new fence letting them know you mean business. As for your sprinkling his vehicles, that is simple, turn your golly darn water pressure down so the sprinkling water doesn't hit over to his vehicles. :rolleyes:

**A: privacy fence? Heck construct a block tile wall.
