Moving a mobile home onto a neighbor’s property without permission is generally not allowed. Property lines are legally defined, and encroaching on someone else’s yard can lead to disputes and legal consequences. Erecting a fence on your neighbor’s land without consent further complicates the... View More

I'm sorry your question remains open for four weeks. At this point, one option might be to check with local lawmakers, representatives or other officials. You could also check with state park, wildlife, or natural resources agencies if they might be able to offer guidance. Good luck

In Utah, if you own property, you have a right to control who enters that property. Without an invitation, you are trespassing. If someone sues you for trespassing, they normally need to show what damage you did on their property to win money. In unique cases, someone may win more money than normal... View More

In regards to paying rent and getting a refund from the landlord, any rent paid in advance for days you aren't allowed to... View More

A landlord can serve a 3 day notice to pay or quit the day after the payment is due. If the tenant pays, they get to stay. If they don't then the landlord can start the eviction process.

The county is forcing me to create a one lot subdivision. The engineering department will not approve my map unless I move my property line back 50 feet.

If they agreed to the fence and intend to use it by eventually fencing in their property as well
answered on May 9, 2017
If they agreed to the fence then it sounds like there is some kind of contract. So your question really is a contract question. If they just agreed to allow you to construct a fence, then there is no obligation to pay for it. You could argue unjust enrichment, but if they didn't do anything... View More
Viewing my property. I feel uncomfortable going outside to garden or whatever. Is this legal?
answered on Oct 28, 2016
It depends on how the area is setup and whether or not you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in that area. If you are uncomfortable, you can start by talking to the neighbor about it being as kind and courteous as possible. If for some reason that doesn't work, you can get an attorney... View More
