Hi y’all, Looking for some advice.
We live next to a rental and the fence between us is falling down. There are holes in which our cat has escaped to their yard and the renters dog regularly pokes his head into our yard, which worries us as we also have a dog. The fence is on the property line.
The landlord responded to the estimate from our contractor that he has been on medical leave for three months, does not know when he will return to work, unfortunately cannot afford a new fence and simply wants to fix it. We have yet to respond.
While I really want to believe him and feel for him, I also looked up his record. He’s a real estate broker and houses.com tells me was a seller for a 600k home, and a buyer $1.4 million in homes this year, and two of those sales were in June. He also owns three houses in my town.
We recently redid the fence on the other side which was in a better condition than this one, and the posts were all rotted and had to be replaced. I’m worried that simply fixing it is putting a bandaid on blood cancer.
While I’m currently wanting to die over the principle of not letting a dude that made more money than both my partner and I last year win, I understand that will not fix the problem. Do y’all have any suggestions on what you would do or how you would respond?
