I have a fence issue that recently came up with a neighbor. He came over one day and asked me to unlock my gate so he could dump wood chips/ leaves on my side of a common fence that has been in place since 1975. I looked at him like he had lost his mind. My yard is completely fenced in with three locked gates because we let our dog stay in the yard. He claims that when the previous owner of our house put the fence up in 1975 that it was installed twelve inches on his property and he now wants to put wood chips and leaves on this side of the fence when he cleans his yard. I told him that as much as I like to get along with my neighbors, I would not be leaving any gates unlocked for him. A couple of weeks later he climbed over the fence and dragged his mower over the fence to start mulching stuff in my yard. I went out and politely told him to get on his side of the fence and stay there. He could not comprehend that he had no business in my yard. We have had another conversation about the fence recently and I told him that if he persists with coming in my yard I would have a trespass order issued against him. I found out he is trying to sell his house and is telling potential buyers that the fence belongs to him. I don't want to fight with him, but I don't want any problems with potential new neighbors because of what he is telling people.
