Having a troublesome neighbor can be a headache. It can be a longstanding issue you must deal with until one of you moves out, but you can also find ways to solve the problem.
This was the situation for Reddit user Kid_Endmore. According to his account, a new neighbor demanded he remove his fence. He agreed after being threatened with legal action.
However, the neighbor returned a week later, requesting to have the fence back. Read on for the full story.

Like a good neighbor stay over there!
Winner for the week.
Based on the article, the neighbor with the dog simply wanted a fence on her terms that SHE didn’t have to pay for.
It’s your dog. If you want it controlled, it’s YOUR responsibility. No neighbor is obligated to put out their own money for a fence they don’t want for YOUR convenience.
I’m glad we live where we have no neighbors we can see.
There’s always one ding Dong trouble maker around who gets off to it
guy next door bought 80 acres, had the land surveyed then built 20 feet 1 inch from the property line (set back is 20 feet) and abbout as close to my house as he could. (why I don’t know. I hate them so no reason to go ask) I sure hope he was right because the bitching about me mowing the lawn at 6 PM “while we are enjoying dinner on the patio” is about enough to drive a guy nuts. I work, I come home, I mow when needed. Don’t like it? have your lawn service mow my yard while I am gone.
Have you met an big city liberals?
I believe it. They are so out of touch with reality, it's not funny.
The fence built as a courtesy to the former neighbor was on her property so it technically belong to her. He should have told her that and said it is your problem.
I should have added that although it required work on his part, the karma was worth it.
You realize that Reddit is a fiction site?
She did and got what she wanted, well maybe not….
Adverse possession. My friend had bought a trailer court and a trailer had been parked thirty years when a neighbor demanded it be moved or I’ll sue even after told the trailer is not owned by the trailer court. The judge said that the trailer does not have to move by the court and used Adverse Possession.
Had a similar incident. House flipper next door was pulling down my wood privacy fence as the previous owner’s absolute jungle of a backyard had destroyed it on that side of my house. I asked the realtor for the house to have the flipper/owner to call me to discuss what they planned to do as I’d heard they were going to put in a vinyl fence. I was going to pay to put in new wood fencing myself. The owner never called and they put up the ugly white vinyl ONE FOOT on their side of the property line. The new owners are nice though.
Thanks.
80 acres and the guy built right next door. What an Ahole.
I have 12 acres now. My neighbor to the north has 55. To the east has 20. The guy on the south has 10. His house is all the way in the back of his lot. Mine is close to the front. So, my closest house is 500’ away. You can only see its lights in the winter when the leaves drop their trees. Across the road there is a brook that is protected as conservation. So, there is not a house for a 1/2 mile in either direction. Yet, I am in a town that was settled in the 1740s.
I was a little concerned last year when the 55 acre property went up for sale. Mostly because it has 1700’ of road frontage. They could have subdivided it without putting a road in. I finally met the new owner a couple months ago and he said they had no intention of breaking it up. That was the reason they bought it to have a farm in the country with chickens, goats, etc. Their house is about a 1/4 mile from mine. However, the part that abuts mine sits on a hill about 30’ higher and would overlook my backyard.
JK but your wife says it will take alot more than 3 times for you to give 9 inches. JK
Interesting timing go see this. Surveyor JUST left my yard to lay out lines for the fence guy!
I got to say it sounds exactly like the non-nonsensical actions of "Dog-People" regarding their Saintly and Nationally Important dogs.
It’s not adverse possession because the fence was placed off the property line by consent of the two owner.
It is, however, generally a binding agreement to put the fence off the line, although the party complaining can put it on the line, at its costs.
I have two reasonably-sized ranches in West Texas and New Mexico, both measured in multiples of tens of sections (a section is a square mile). It’s old, cotton, and cattle country.
I had a fence line that was a solid 1/4 mile off the line, that dated back to the 1920s. There was a filed agreement to have the fence off the line, due to a rocky gulch that made it difficult to put in a fence.
New owners of the neighboring ranch put in water wells on my land to sell to frackers. Said, no, that’s my water. They claimed adverse possession, lost, and I got 10 free massive water wells. Sold the water at .40/bbl and changed the fence.
Planted cotton just to let them watch it grow with water they drilled for me.
I see what you did there.
