Q: My neighbor moves his truck to block our landscape company from being able to enter the back & side yard.
When my neighbor moves his truck to his side of the front yard, the landscaping company is not able to use the correct equipment and get the work done in an efficient timeframe because they have to weed eat the side and back yard instead of their zero turn lawn mower? Do I have any rights here? He just started to do this. He has been my neighbor for over 17 years and never had a problem prior with this before now.
A: Generally, as long as the neighbor's placement of something on his property is not intruding onto your property or disturbing the peaceful enjoyment of your property, there's no potential legal action. HOWEVER, does your local jurisdiction (county or city) allow placement of a truck in that position? If it doesn't, a code enforcement complaint should solve the problem. Of course, before taking any steps such as code enforcement, legal action, or a lawyer's threat letter, it's best to attempt amicable resolution with the neighbor.
