The People's Court- "Encroachment" ['The fence was 30 inches over on my property!']

[sensiblpal]

Have a heart guys. The poor woman had to give away her dog to pacify her neighbour. Don't they have double glazing in America? Some of the comments here are really cruel!

[brmadman4455]

Mmmmmm, daughter is hot.

[slrs81]

Instead of sleeping in at night he should get his FAT A** out of bed and exercise. UGH! He carried the issue too far. I would do anything to get him to sell his house and get him out of the neighborhood.

[jburr36]

I hate stupid fuckers with their god damned barking dogs. Those people don't seem to give a shit about anyone else around them.

In Idaho if a neighbor installs a fence on a property line to establish a physical boundary between properties that person can by law force the neighboring property owner to pay for half the costs of the fence that borders their property whether they wanted it or agreed to it there or not because the law inplies that the neighbor benefits from the fence too.

[TheBaronessIsAwesome]

If the dogs were this big of a pest, and the police did nothing about it, why didn't he just call the SPCA?

And her, why did she not put the dogs in a kennel if she was leaving for more than a day?

[malvivant]

There's something vaguely Captain Kangaroo-ish about Plaintiff's affect.

[mcmlxvi]

Pardon?.... what?.... sorry?.... say again?

[Charlesmcoburn]

rofl you know somebody was pissed at the verdict when they don't even show the hallway segment!

[allstarjerseyshop]

this guy got me in the mood for KFC

[alyxlyon]

Property law here is very simple, if neighbour has a fence and it's on your property, she/he MUST move it. If They fail to do so, that would give you the right to do it for them or even tear it down, after all, it's on your property. If neighbour wants to build a fence and you say NO, I don't allow it, there will be no fence.

[TreyParkersBitch]

Fat ass

[thnguyen24]

ain't the police supposed to know of the "animal regulation" or whatever it was that the guy at the end talked about?

[FireyBlaze101]

When my parents bought their house, there was a tree right up against the fence. After a couple of years the fence was starting to bend so there were two choices, cut down the tree or move fence closer to the next door neighbor. They decided to move the fence. The house has been sold twice since then, I don't know if the neighbors know, but I don't think they would care anyway we are only talking about six inches.

[Imogen1885]

JM had the wrong attitude abut the amount of land. No one has a right to encroach on your land I don't care if it's two inches. Good fences make good neighbours. But put them on the property line.

[drewdundee25]

Hes so fat!

[frickadele]

The dog neighbor from hell.

[WickedOneVA]

the plaintiff looks ridiculous, like a beard on a bulldog

[kuriaki71]

wow the defendant is cute

[Kisal1]

If the defendant didn't have any pets and didn't have a fence, the old fart plaintiff would find something else to complain about.

[TheSkylur44]

Sorry, defendant is totally wrong; she should have checked her plat and had a survey done BEFORE she put the fence in, that was totally wrong on her part.

[thedesertmisfit]

fat f*cking bastard

[skaggsey]

what's with the young woman being rude and obnoxious and barging in ahead of the defendant at the beginning - seriously needs to learn some manners. On the other hand...always love when the Judge shoots down litigants and their 'pain and suffering' crap . . .

[LuckyIzzy659]

has this old hag ever heard of a damn muzzle?

[lordmat666]

that is why you hire a land surveyor before putting up a fence.

[Bbfishman]

i would take down her fucking fence myself......why take it to court and bitch and moan. take it into your own hands and get her fucking fence off your property. Its not just a few inches, the bitch took 2 and a half feet from you. I would grab a sledgehammer and she would have a nice stack of fence on her lawn when she came home from work and problem would be solved.

[QueenXofXSpades2]

Can anybody in this case hear??

[wecouldbesohappy]

@QueenXofXSpades2 pardon?

[Mysterycat74]

If he can't sell the house unless she moves the fence...HOW did the fence get there to begin with? If they both already lived there and he saw her put it up...why not complain then? That guy is just mad that he has a half-inch penis.

[Asalino1]

He would not be able to sell the house with her fence on his land. The house needs to pass a inspection befre it can be sold and the inspector would never pass it as long as the ladies fence is resting on his property

[Dreamydeppmama]

@Asalino1 They can pass the inspection. We went through the same thing with hedges on our property that made the land smaller than what was supposed to be there.

It was noted in all inspections, but as long as the perspective buyers knew about it and didn't care, then it was fine.

We had one set of buyer who wanted us to move the hedges back. As if. We decline that offer, of course.

[curliefro]

Well, I can see why he wants to settle this before he sells the house. His house may not sell if the potential owners have to deal with this. But there was some spite on his end.

[Dreamydeppmama]

What an ass. He is moving anyway, so leave the fence be and let the new owners deal with it.

He is vindictive.

[JoeNobody247]

@Dreamydeppmama

Because at the time of sale he is still the landowner and the title and deed which describe the property have to reasonably coincide with the physical layout of the property. As a property owner, you can't just "pass the buck" He is not vindictive. If you owned a home, and I slapped a fence 3.5' onto your property, you would have the same attitude.

[Dreamydeppmama]

@JoeNobody247 No I wouldn't. The owners next to our old house planted hedges 4 and a half feet over our property line. It was accidental, mind you. It didn't take much away from our enjoyments of the backyard, so I didn't complain. When we sold that house I made sure the buyers knew. If they are so anal they have a problem with it, then they could deal with it after the sale.

I'm not about to start a fight with neighbours over something so small.

[Comixbear1]

If I were the judge, I would get a complex. With both the plaintiff and defendent, it seemed like every other question had to be repeated.
