so last week i get home late one night and my neighbour runs to the car and tells me that his tilers made holes next to my driveway but i musnt worry since they will clean it up the next day. next afternoon i get home and the holes is still open and there's now tile cement on my driveway! i go around to him and ask his wife if i can see him. she tunes me he will come over, im still waiting.

next morning i come out and the holes is covered up but the damn cement is still on my paving? im pretty pi..ed about this cos im younger than all of the other home owners so i dont worry with them but this disrespect i cant handle. you don't need to respect me but dammit you need to respect my property.

what can i do or what should i do since im tired of him taking advantage of me. when his laaitie built a place in his yard i told him he needs to raise the vibracrete since when this house is built, we will have no privacy in our yard, that too didn't happen. im just sick and tired now. and don't even get me started on the paving thing...

suggestions are very welcome...

edit:
the paving - my driveway to my garage is paved. but the area next to it he skeems is his too but my building extends until his wall. he included this area in his paving. isn't the area in front of my house MY area?

i must find them. its somewhere at home. its very minimal when i got them. i need to get it to my architect so i can kill too birds with the one stone. not sure what you call those guys that put pegs in the ground. maybe get them to come out and show me. but again. how do i enforce that?
 
OP reads like a Jack Parow tune, ek skeem.

Have you tried moving?
 
I'd get someone out to check your property lines.

If a neighbour broke/screwed up something on my property, there would be hell to pay.

Regarding the wall, I don't see why the neighbour has to raise it at his expensive if he's doing nothing wrong, and its for your benefit?

how do i make him pay? when he built the house in the yard. he raised he ground level on his side rendering the existing wall ineffective. why should i pay for the results of his actions. maybe i should put something ugly on that wall. hmmmm. and he agreed to do it when i asked him.
 
You should get things like that in writing.

Check if he's plans were council approved, if they are, he's done nothing wrong.

Go round again, then if they still not "available" let them know you'll be having it cleaned, and will send them the invoice... if they don't pay, registered letter if they still don't pay, summons, etc.
 
Just ask him when he is going to fix the damage or should you get it done and he can pay :D

I don't see how that will get his driveway cleaned?

@akescpt
Get your houseplans, indicate to your neighbour that if he doesn't clean the mess he made (on your property) you will consider it willful damage to property and will inform the authorities of such.

Okay, so he gets off on breaking his neighbour's windows, gets in trouble with the law for doing so, and then still has a cemented driveway. Very therapeutic :p

Relax. Maybe there's some middle ground to be had here. Chip off the cement yourself and then return it to its rightful owner...through his windows...one by one...one per day...

Relax? I was merely attempting to bring sarcasm to a new level :p

I'd rather throw the pieces at his bedroom window at 1am in the morning, every morning, for a month :evilgrin: :p
