Be very careful on land contracts-they are tricky.  I would make sure that you have a really good lawyer and ALWAYS make sure that the owner is using legal contracts that are supplied by the local board of realtors.  You also need to check and make sure there are no liens on the property against the owner-especially if it is new there could be construction liens if contractors weren't paid properly.

he cannot attach if your fence is inside your property line by 3 feet, it be one ting if the fence was ON the property line, but well inside is a whole different matter, much less eletric, as that's begging for a liability lawsuit.\n\nLocation and Height\nIt is permitted to construct a fence anywhere on\nyour lot, right up to your property line. For\nclarification a property line is a shared invisible line\nbetween two adjoining properties. Further, the\nstatement “up to your property line”, does not mean\nyou can build it on or over the property line. While\nthe city does not mandate a survey, you are\nresponsible for placing the fence within the\nparameters of your lot. This department has\nresponded to many complaints regarding fences and\nencroachments of the lot line. To avoid moving the\nfence at a later date make sure you build it on your\nlot.\nThe allowable height of a fence depends on where it\nis located on your lot. A fence can be 6’ high\nanywhere on your lot except within 5 feet of a street\nlot line.\nWithin this 5-foot requirement the\nmaximum height of the fence is limited to 4 feet. If\nyou have a corner lot or a street to the rear, the 5-\nfoot requirement applies to all street lines\n\n\nnotice that you should check with your local city code as well as there is a good chance his fence wil not bew permitted to be built.

You are generally entitled to exclude people from using your property, right up to the very edge. \n\nOccassionally there will be exceptions along public streets and roads, but if you can prevent your neighbor from walking onto your property and he can prevent you from walking on his, it would make no sense that an unrelated third party could walk down the line in between merely because you are each in separate townships.  \n\nThere is not automatically a public roadway along the line separating townships.

It requires somewhat more than just taking care of the property. What you are referring to is called adverse possession, which by Texas law, must be "an actual and visible appropriation of real property, commenced and continued under a claim of right that is inconsistent with and is hostile to the claim of another person." Further, the true owner of the land has a period of time from the commencement of that possession to file a claim, though the time period depends on the circumstances. I would contact a lawyer and see what your options are. If you built a fence around the land and kept it for long enough, it would be yours.

not if you got a neighbor like mine

Technically, it is not community property.  But you might need an attorney to force this issue since you are married to him.  Another option is to go to the police department and ask to speak with an officer on the matter or the town prosecutor.

The condo association should provide you with a copy. I'm surprised you bought a condo without having a set of the rules in hand. The next surprise may be yours.

Let's see.  If the pool and fence are on the neighbor's property, Then he can pay for it himself.  If the fence is indeed yours, well then it's none of his business that it's broken down.  He wants a fence fence so bad, he can get it himself.\n\nYou are not morally obligated to put yourself into debt just because your neighbor WANTS a new fence.\n\n\nHaving said all that, he IS your neighbor.  So, you know, a little tact might be in order.  So instead of "screw you", perhaps "I'm really sorry, but I just can't afford it" might be in order.

Get a lawyer.\n\nUnfortunately, your friend must have missed something like notices from the assessor's office, sheriff's auction or something.

When you had the contract for sale drawn up, did it include a clause that there were no known pending assessments on the property?  Did you review the association minutes to see if anything out of the ordinary was discussed?  Sometimes a pending assessment will even show up in a title search if the attorney for the condo assoc. has filed it in an attempt to alert potential buyers to that possibility. \n\nYou can file a form with the post office that says you need their new address in order to serve them with a subpoena.  Some states even allow you to send in a request to the DMV for a current address for process of service.\n\nDidn't they put their forwarding address on their 1099 certification form at the closing?  You could also do a property tax search in their current town to see if they own any property and have them served at that address. \n\n"most lawyers will give you thirty minutes to figure out of you've got a case or not (they're looking to see if they can make money with it). "  Oh please ... time is money and no one gives money away for free.  These types of matter are NOT taken on a contingency basis.  Very few cases are taken on a contingency basis, and 95% of those are personal injury matters or workers comp.  Those are the only two matters that are virtually guaranteed to get a free consult.

The whole thing sounds pretty dodgy to me. An extension without the proper footings is not legal and if it has been built without planning permission that to is not legal.\nThe letter that you write should not be to help them make a sale on a property that has parts that could fall down in a gale and perhaps cause injury. It should be to state that it had only been built for the time that it has and that the building should be inspected as there are no proper foundations. If you knowingly write an incorrect statement and the truth comes out then you could be caught for aiding and abetting an illegal sale. The whole thing is a mine field so either stay out of it altogether or put the local authority in the picture. The estate agent should also be made aware of the problem as he could be in real trouble.

Get a copy of the opinion from the other case and read it over to see if it applies to the ordinance in your city.  If it applies, you can present a copy to the prosecutor and the judge and advise them of the case.\n\nJust because the other ordinance was struck down, does not mean that yours will.  If you feel the law is unjust, you should try to change the law or have it put on the ballot for a vote by the citizens of the community.

if its your property, you can be a good citizen and not say anything about it.or you can get your own lawyer and fight it or you could sell it.

The person who ownes the property is responsible.  Keep following up and ask your insurance company if they can intervein.  The home ownership should be public record, so check with your county or city for the records.   You should send REGISTERED mail to the owner explaining the situation and get a few repair estimates to send along.  (make copies).  Take em to small claims court if no reply.  Make sure you have plenty of pictures.  You may also want to report the situation to the city administrator indicating it's a hazard to people as well as vehicles.  What if kids were playing around there and got cut!\nGood luck to you.

Get a copy of the order and send it registered mail to the opposing party.  Ask the clerk at the courthouse.  If they don't cough up the property, ask the court clerk to file a lien against the opposing party.
