8O 8O 8O :roll:

Nice friend....

In that case pay them $100, $5 a week


















in 5c coins [/b][/quote]

Thats what i would do.

Inc- its not me who wants the fence its the freaks next door, and please dont give me thoughts like them running around their back yard naked. 8O

You're lucky Ace, we had a person of southern european descent (can't call a bastard like him a neighbour) move in next to us and demanded in excess of $5000.00 for our share of his retaining wall!
Needless to say he didn't get it as we already had an adequate fence on the dividing line and we were happy with that. So his revenge was to poison plants, stuff rubbish in gutters, tip rubbish over the fence and generally try to intimidate us.
We had the council rangers and police involved but until we can actually prove it was him they won't do a thing!
Who the hell else can it be?
The council ducked for cover and the cops lost forensic samples!

Anyway on the cops advice we got a security camera fixed up and caught him spraying plants, called the police who arrested him but in the end as there was a time delay between him spraying and the plants dying they said there was nothing they could do.
I've now enraged him by geting the council to make him move his aircon which was so noisy it kept us awake sometimes. He knew the rules but told his contractor that's where he wanted it and they put it there right beside our house.
We're now waiting for him to try and extract revenge in some other nasty little way so I've moved the boat to my daughters place.
I'll fix him eventually 'cos as they say "Revenge is a dish best eaten cold".

The are doing what 8O 8O

I'm surprised that their lawyer didn't laugh at them

Have you checked the covenants to make sure there isn't something saying that the owner must fence? that's also a common one, but from what Ron has posted, well, it should be an easy win.

I don't envy you AlanH, a nasty situation, but i'm sure that we can think of a few ideas between us

Steal his thongs and shag his cat when he's out.

Hi ferno, i dont know what the notice they gave stacey said it was a council mediation thing i think. After stacey screwed that up and threw it at her she said she would see us in court. I know and she knows it wouldnt stand up in court, provided, as you said, that they could find a lawyer who would take them seriously.

AlanH- a mate of mine in leeton had the same problem (it wasnt as a result of a fence dispute it was because someone in the flat complex was calling the police everytime the feral ****** had a domestic) they smashed a window and put a garden hose through into his laundry and the police couldnt do anything, the used to draw with lipstick all over their windows and hang g-strings and stuff on his door handle, they stole his shoes off his front lawn and weeded their garden and threw all the weeds over the fence onto his back verandah. Row set up a webcam one night hooked up to his laptop and filmed her doing it. In the end they moved out because the owner of the flat kicked them out because they were keeping people out of the other two flats in the complex he owned. So i know what you mean about the police being able to do anything, or unwilling to anything. Its bull**** how you get shafted because some arse wants to be unreasonable.

The fences at staceys house are stuffed and need replacing, but by law only with what type of fence is there. This they understand but choose to ignore. Matt

Ace start by contacting your local council and get there ruling, if any but they will none the less be able to advise you and in most cases you can just phone them and don’t have to even give your name.

Also, go to the local court and see what FREE advice is available.

Unless the laws have changed since I lived in Convict South Wales, if you already have a fence that is in good state of repair, you are not up for one cent.

If the fence is in need of repair or replacement, all you are up for is half the cost of the cheapest materials you can get a quote for and offer your services to help fix the existing fence so you won’t be charged for labour.

One other place to contact is the Dept of Fair Trading. That used to be pretty good when I was down there.

And best of luck, cause I have been there and done that.

thanks drivesafe.

Not knowing the rules isnt the issue, i know it and the neighbours know it. They are just choosing to ignore it, and even if the council or somone else told them again that, i dont think, will stop them harrassing us.

In the end i think stacey just wants to pay them, i am just bitching. Matt
