Any advice would be appreciated --> I live in Ohio...My neighbor to the north and I share a lane which is located on the edge of a piece of property owned by a garden center to our south. We do have an easement written into the deeds, so we are the "dominant" property. My neighbor and I are going to repave the drive, and I plan on maintaining it (clearing snow, etc). A neighbor to the west of the garden center has gotten used to crossing our lane to let her dogs "use" the grass strip next to the lane. Could I be held liable if the neighbor slips on ice if I clear the snow? The lane is tree lined in parts and I also fear that her dog could get hit by the mailman or a visitors car...could I be held liable in some way? In addition to her dog leaving little "presents" she also throws her cigarette butts on the ground and leaves them (littering). Do I have a right to ask/tell her that crossing the easement is considered trespassing even though I do not own the property? Should I do it in writing? I don't want to be a jerk of a neighbor, but she and her dog should stay on her property...especially if they don't pick up after themselves....right?
