Hi,
When I purchased my home in 2004, a chain link fence surrounded my property. In 2006, I had installed a 6-foot privacy fence inside and close to the chain link fence. There's about one foot of property between the two, meaning my privacy fence is about one foot inside my property line.
I just noticed several months ago that one of my neighbors removed the chain link fence in their back yard, and they've essentially "claimed" that one foot of my property as theirs. They're also continuously resting items like ladders up against my fence.
What should I do? I plan to sell my property in about 12 years, and I don't want my neighbors thinking that they own that roughly one foot of my property.
I've never spoken to these neighbors, and really don't know what they look like, and frankly I don't care if I tick them off. I think it's rather presumptuous of them to take down the chain link fence and plant flowers on that piece of my property.
