Frequently Asked Questions
Breach Of Contract
Typically, you can only withhold rent if something (or someone) is posing a threat to your health and safety. If the heating system in your unit weren't working or there was a gas leak on your floor, and your landlord did nothing about it, then you would be in a situation where you could withhold rent.
Do I Need Permission From a Neighbor to Build a Fence? The general rule that applies in most jurisdictions is you do not need permission from a neighbor to build a fence on your property. However, if the intended position of your fence strays onto your neighbor's land, it's a different story.
If you're in an argument with a neighbor over a property issue, follow these steps:
? Stay civil.
? Hire a surveyor.
? Check your community's laws.
? Try to reach a neighbor-to-neighbor agreement.
? Use a mediator.
? Have your attorney send a letter.
? File a lawsuit.

Trespassers Won't Be Prosecuted. It's often said that “trespassers will be prosecuted,” but the truth is, they won't! Get a legal expert's take on trespassing and why it usually is not a criminal matter. If you need personalized legal advice, contact an attorney in your community.
Your jurisdiction may have laws about how far back a fence needs to be set on your property, which is typically 2, 4, 6 or 8 inches from the property line. If you build a fence directly on the property line, it may mean that responsibility is shared by you and your neighbor according to the law.
