A: If your neighbor is trespassing on your property by leaving abandoned cars and garbage, you may have several options for recourse. You can start by contacting your landlord and informing them of the situation, as they have a responsibility to ensure that their tenants are not causing issues for other tenants. You can also consider contacting local authorities, such as the police or code enforcement, to report the trespassing and illegal dumping. It may be helpful to document the issues with photographs and keep records of any communication or attempts to resolve the situation. Consulting with an attorney who specializes in landlord-tenant or property law can provide you with more specific guidance and assistance based on the laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
