What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
We bought our house in 1991. There is a 2 feet tall, 100 feet long retaining wall between ours and next neighbor’s. Our front yard lawn was planted to the wall, and we planted fruit trees along the wall, landscaped, maintain the yard up to the wall for the last 22 years. I and my neighbor always treat the wall as our property line – he cleaned his side and we took care our side. Recently we had a break in. We would like to have a fence put up along the wall, on our side, with a front gate, to keep the new dog in, for security. I discussed the fence to my neighbor, and he had no objection and said it’s my fence on my property. An hour later he came over and said he would not allow to have the fence near the wall, since the property line was 14” from the wall, on my side.
My neighbor and I have been treating the wall as the property line since 1991. I really don’t want to cut down all the matured fruit trees for the fence. Does the law of Acquiescence to a Boundary Line apply here?
Thank you.
