[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 472919, member: 84"] I'll start by saying I haven't read the other responses. Neighbor "wars" are never a good idea. Once it starts it can take on a life of it's own. Trust me, my mother did it for 20 yrs with our next door neighbor who was only kind enough to say hello to her. And you will be miserable. I know pay back is tempting, but it rarely works. In short, the guy is a bully. He's trying to 1. get you to get rid of the dog and or 2. move because of the dog, or 3. both. I would make a detailed letter to the landlord, including the unwanted children in your yard. If the children or the dad continue to trespass, I'd start calling the police. You have every right. While you are paying rent on this house it's your property. I'd also put up the inexpensive fence as a visual that this is the line that does NOT get crossed. I'd also tell your kids that playing with the neighbors kids is not happening since their dad is so afraid they'll step in dog poo. Now next time the neighbor makes a comment about the dog poo, say simply and firmly that their child would NOT have stepped in it if it had not trespassed on your property, and if such actions continue you will be forced to make an official complaint. As long as he remains in his yard, the dog poo has no reason to be an issue with him. Period. Now when you get that fence make certain the landlord gets the property lines correct from the city. Your fence goes so many feet inside that boundary, depends on where you live, here I think it's 2 feet. If you can afford it, I'd fence in the whole back yard where the dog goes, so the bully's brats won't be able to wander in your yard anymore. While your at it, make the landlord take off the cost of the fence from your rent as you've just increased his property value. I'm hoping your neighbor also rents and that he'll be gone soon. Because fence or no fence (it only protects your rights ect) he's not going to shut up. My mom harassed a neighbor over their dog for 3 yrs solid. If the dog barked she griped, if the yard wasn't cleaned up immediately she let them hear about the "stench". She'd call the cops. It was ridiculous as the owners weren't doing anything wrong and the dog was just being a dog. But they eventually gave up the dog just to shut her up. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
