Do Property Managers Have to Mediate Problems With Neighbors

the PM (if he is doing his job) should be alerting the owners to things such as this that happen unless the PM has full authority to take care of all problems.


It just seems odd that the actions of the neighbor appear to be that of a person that believes they own the land you believe is part of your rental home. That is why sometimes just talking to people is the easier answer than getting all legal on them. I would also believe that if the PM believed the neighbors were damaging his clients property, he would take action. Since he hasn't, it tends to support the neighbors owning the land in question.

No reason to be adversarial about the whole thing. Maybe you are mistaken. Maybe they are mistaken. Mistakes happen.

I've tried going over and talking with them and AS USUAL they did not come to the door to speak with me. I've done my part. I've filed a police report and sent out letters, so I'll let the next tenants or the owner's themselves deal with it. I think its pretty rude and unprofessional for the PM if she indeed knows its part of the neighbor's property, to not inform the tenant of that especially after 3 requests to do so and notification of property being stolen. Im sorry but when some jerk takes my property and disposes of it without my permission I think I have the right to be a little defensive. The NEIGHBORLY thing to do would be to come knock on my door and ask me to remove it because if it is indeed your property you should have NO PROBLEM letting me know that. Thanks again.
