My question involves real estate located in the State of: Michigan
I own ground that has an easement for ingress/egress but no maintenance agreement.
Over the past thirty years I have maintained the drive except for one or two occassions. I have also blocked it off on occassion when it was too muddy to drive on.
Now, owners of adjacent property and their friends are using easement and have made it impassable due to intentional actions to sling mud and create ruts. It is no longer usable accessible with a 2wd vehicle and we can no longer walk on the easement to get to our property on the back side of our pond.
I intend to gate the property as soon as the frost is completely out of the ground (and provide key to dominant tenant) but, that does nothing about her sons and friends trashing my ground.
So, the question is....may I "repair" the drive now knowing full well that it will make the drive impassible to ALL vehicular traffic until the ground thoroughly dries out? In otherwords, what could they file suit for if they have to walk a few hundred yards to access their property?
