Hi,
I bought my home 2 years ago and I share a wood fence with one of my neighbor that need to be replaced.
One third of the fence has rot damaged on my side due to the sprinkler systems that the previous owner had on my property.
One third of the fence is leaning on my neighbor side due to his plants that are taking the fence down.
One third of the fence is in an acceptable shape.
When requesting quotations, all fence company refused to repair the fence due to the extent of the damages (for their good faith... they offer me to repair one my other fence even if I asked them to replace it too).
I offer to my neighbor to split 50-50 the cost of the new fence. He refused by stating that the previous owner agreed to replace the fence at its own expense (no written trackrecord of the agreement).
What are my options to get us moving?
I do not want to go to court for a fence but in the meantime I want my neighbor to pay its fair share.
Thanks for your help.
