We recently purchased a house and evidently didn't do our homework enough because the driveway that we thought we owned but shared was actually an easement which I asked about but was told it wasn't. Anyways we live next to a bar which I now know was another mistake. The previous owner of the bar had bought 8 feet of our property 'before we bought it' which is another item we were not told about, the 8 feet leaving our property line right in the middle of the driveway. The easement total is 16 feet, 8 feet ours and 8 feet the bars.
We have since had our garage hit on several ocassions, people parking on our property constantly, the bar owner himself has told people to park both in the easement and from what we've heard on our own personal property if there wasn't room without our permission, the driveway being completely blocked, people hanging out on our section of the driveway drinking and being extremely noisy right next to our house which is only a matter of feet away. We have put up a fence to block people from hitting our garage but it has been nocked down an average of every other night, this has only made more work for us by having to fix it and now we can't even use our part of the easement. We have called the police on 2 seperate occasions about this but they seem to feel this is something out of their juristiction.
He has started this from day one, when we bought the place we came over from signing the papers which he knew we were doing and he started having people park next to our garage on our property instead of in his parking lot so he could have live music after we told him he couldn't do it!
Anyone know if there is something we can do about this? We've only been living here 3 months and are ready to purchase another home because this new bar owner 'been there 3 months also' is making our lives miserable.
