A concerned woman has asked for help after her neighbour threatened to sue her if she didn’t fork out more than £900 to help remove a flowering plant that had crept over from her garden
Property lines can be a contentious subject and if you don’t get on with your neighbour, it can end up being a nightmare trying to figure out who is responsible for what. For one woman, this turned out to be the case when the house next door to hers got a new owner who decided they wanted help maintaining their yard.
Taking to Reddit, the green-fingered woman wrote: “Our house has multiple ancient wisteria plants growing on the chain-link fence between my property and my neighbour’s. I maintain my side of the fence regularly and love having it there, but my neighbour was a bit of a recluse and allowed it to overtake his apple tree and other plants in his yard.”
She went on: “He recently sold his house and the new owner came over asking me to help pay to have it removed from the tree and generally trim it back. She wanted me to split an estimate for $2300 (£1,800). She got a second estimate for $900 (£700), but I feel like if I help pay it it will only be the beginning of her getting money out of me.”
