AIO over property lines?
Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster.(:
I (29F) and my husband (34M) have become first time homeowners and this has been the most stressful thing ever.
I am used to living in the suburbs where everyone’s property lines are well established and respected but our house is out in the country (sort of). We live in a tiny neighborhood of about 9 houses I the middle of nowhere in the south and we are at the end of the cul-de-sac. All of the houses have long driveways, like can fit 4-6 cars easy and big front yards. Our neighbors to the left of us have visitors constantly who, for some reason, insist on parking on/driving through our grass when they have two other completely viable parking options: 1. The neighbors’ grass or 2. their driveway. I got up this morning and they have had company over who have been driving through our grass and causing damages. I went and put up a temporary fence (short, white garden fencing) a little behind our property line to signal “hey! Please stop driving here!” The owner of the car saw it, got the hint, and didn’t drive in our grass.
I was talking to my family and my parents both said that this isn’t a big deal and I need to calm down. My problem is 1. My husband has already talked to our neighbors about their visitors parking on our grass 2. They have two other completely viable parking options!! I don’t know, though, because maybe I’m just used to the suburbs and this is how things go out here. AIO? (Also please be nice, like I said, owning this home has been the most stressful thing ever)
