Neighbor Disputes

It started with a polite note about “overhanging branches.” Three weeks later I was replaying my security footage for an attorney while my neighbor measured my yard like he owned it.

It started with my neighbor “just for a week” parking his SUV on the shared driveway. Two months later, I was keeping a folder of HOA letters, camera clips, and survey stakes like it was evidence for court.

I thought the worst part was the lens aimed straight at our upstairs window. Then a “courtesy notice” showed up saying I was the one violating the rules.

I thought the first violation letter was a mistake until it arrived with a photo taken from inside my fence line. When I checked my security footage, I saw our HOA president in my side yard after midnight.

I didn’t notice the new fence was on my side until my mower hit it. When I checked the survey pins, I realized he didn’t just steal a strip of grass—he built a whole plan on it.
