I had a neighbor that tried to tell me what I could and couldn't do with my property.
I asked them if they were paying the mortgage.... they said no!!!!
I asked if they were paying the property taxes..... they said no!!!!
I asked if they were paying the insurance...... they said no!!!!
I then asked if they owned the property next door that they were living in...... they said no!!!!
I then said "What gives you the right to dictate a f---ing thing that goes on... on my property????"
They said "Well... we your neighbors and have to look at it" we don't like that your taking down those trees"
The trees in question was a 40"x80ft tall oak that was 3ft off the corner of my garage. The whole top of the tree would have crushed the house, plus a couple others that needed to come down to allow the tree service to get a Crane and bucket truck in to access it.
I asked them if they were gonna pay for any damages to my home if the tree came down???? I got the "well... ummm.... it's your house!!!!"
I told them "exactly.... my your f---ing buisiness"
Renters next door were som hippy slackers from California.
About 6 months later they called the sheriff on me and reported me for cruelty to animals. Said I was leaving my dogs outside all day in extreme heat without water.
Dogs had a doggy door to the sun porch which had a dedicated heat and ac unit. Water bowl on the porch. As well as a kiddy pool outside in the shade for a non spillable water source in case they got to tearing around and spilled their water bowl inside the sunporch.
Sheriff showed up. Informed me of the complaint. I walked him out back, he noted the kiddy pool. Dogs came out the doggy door to greet us. I then walked him onto the sunporch which had the ac set at 73°
I then said "Hey, while your here, how about you check out the neighbors horse." So we walked over to the fence bordering the hippies next door. I pointed out the neglected hoofs with possible rot, the limping gate of the horse, and then pointed out that it's teeth needed to be floated.
That cost them a bunch of money having to get a vet and farrier out there. They also had to start bussing in hay for it since the pasture didn't have enough quality grass.
They tried one other thing with us. That resulted in me having to stop my wife from going over there, ringing the door bell, and punching out whomever answered the door
She did get a piece of them a couple days later with a serious butt chewing.
That resulted in them being shunned by the neighborhood. Nobody would talk to them, help them out with anything, or acknowledge them.
