I live on a little over an acre. A few months ago I put up a fence around the house to have a back yard for my son and dog. I put it inside the property lines deliberately, partly so I could walk thru to the back of my lot and partly because I didn't need a fenced back yard that big.
Now it looks like my neighbor is putting up a fence. Looks like he plans on running his fence all the way to mine, using my fence as part of his. I don't blame him, fence is pretty expensive, but like I said, my fence is several feet, like maybe 8, 10 feet inside the property line. That means he is basically just absorbing part of my yard by using my fence.
That shit isn't okay is it? I don't really care I guess, just less for me to mow, but it is my property. What happens if one of us decides to move, or I need that land for a pool or whatever the case may be?
Advice on how to handle this with my neighbor, who I don't really know at all? Legal issues? Thanks guys!
