My neighbor has asked me to grant her an unrecorded easement that would provide emergency egress from her back yard, through my back yard, to the street.

Disputes with Shared Retaining Wall

We and our adjacent neighbors are in a dispute over a 4 foot high concrete retaining wall that straddles both of our property lines. We’ve had large clay terra-cotta pots sitting on top of retaining wall with lattice in the pots to obscure the neighbors privacy fence, which is few feet back from the retaining wall. Recently (last week), they decided to start objecting to the clay pots (which are on their property, according to their survey). Would mediation/arbitration be a better, less expensive way to go?

My Neighbor Posted No Tresspassing Signs on our Easement, Can he do This?

The easement borders my entire property line, I have a private driveway off the easement to my house. The neighbor who lives directly behind me says that when I pull off the paved part of the easement over the grass part of the easement (approx. 10 ft) to get to my front yard, I am tresspassing over his property. He has called the police 4 times in the past 6 months accusing me of trespassing when I park my car in my yard. Do I have the right to access my property from the easement? Does he have the right to call the state police to my house everytime I park in my yard?

Does my Home Owner’s Association have the Right to Dig a Trench and Leave a Mess on my Property?

I have a 1 acre peice of property in a gated community. There is a 14 ft utility easement at the front of my property as there is a transformer there. The HOA came in on my property and installed Electrical power panels to service a gate for back entry/ exit to the sub division. They did not have my permission. They also dug a trench completely across my property about 2 feet wide to reach the transformer for power to the gate and when finished left my property in a mess. My question is, did the HOA have the right to do what they did without my permission?

Do I Need to Grant the Town the Right to an Easement on my Property? Can I Negotiate for Better Terms?

I purchased a commercial building in Maryland and attempted to get an occupancy permit for a tenant. The town conditioned approval with a request for me to grant easements to the town for the maintenance of sewer lines running under my property and to enter my property to inspect them. These easements, if granted, would severely limit my ability to add on to my building and park in my lot. If they don’t agree to negotiate more favorable terms (to me) can I cap off the sewer lines with impunity? May they condition an occupancy permit on an unrelated grant of an easement to them?

I Helped to Maintain an Irrigation Pipe on my Neighbors Property, Now there are New Owners Wanting to Remove it, What can I do?

What is the Most Effective way to Settle Easement Issues with Neighbors? Most Inexpensive?

Because we’ve lived in the house (for 12 years) and maintained the retaining wall before and after it was rebuilt, and paid entirely for the reconstruction of the wall, does this give us a right to a prescriptive easement (i.e. right to own the wall completely) overriding the neighbor’s survey, which they claim gives them exclusive ownership rights? Would mediation/arbitration be a better, less expensive way to go?

Our Small Community is Without a Home Owner’s Association, but Some of Us are Still Paying Dues, What Should we do?

I live in a small (15 home) community outside Charlotte, NC. The community developer controlled the HOA initially, though within the past couple years, several new homes have been built and sold, and the new homeowners were told via realtors and at closing that there was no HOA and no fees due. The rest of the community has been living under the CC&R documents and paying lake access fees. Do we have an actionable HOA or not? If not, what do we need to do? Do the original CC&Rs stand?
