B-Mac Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Be nice/polite and inform him that this type of behavior will not be tolerated. If he continues. THEN, Boot that shit box and place a parking violation sticker with a warning not to move. $250.00 to have the boot removed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in mason ohio. richie rich. average home starts in the $400's so I had to look at surrounding areas. long story but I needed to move asap because the new owner of the townhome I was renting was going to raise the rent to $1000 from $800. I knew they were going to be a pain in the ass to rent from. and everything I looked at was gone in 2-3 days of being listed. I shouldn't have listened to my realtor on a house like this one but much better neighborhood. He said the house went into a bidding war. and I shouldn't bother as the sale price would more than likely go more than my loan amount. but it didn't. it sold for what I paid for this one. it was a much better neighborhood. but a longer drive. so far I've made friends with the neighbors. so getting this resolved shouldn't be an issue. I just havent brought it up again. they have been out back all day with the kids and playing with my dog etc. in due time. thanks for the advise Oriders.. cool heads always prevail.

The longer it goes, the worse it gets. You're letting yourself be taken advantage of. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Yes. It is YOUR driveway. You owe him zero explanation. You owe him zero BBQ invites. You owe him zero beers. What you DO owe him is a firm position of your expectations. Expecting him to accommodate you without telling him what those expectations are is unfair. Just know that all you do owe him is a firm "No. You may not use my driveway." You do not owe him what, who, how, why or when. You only owe him an answer. I learned a few things in the past few years. One of them is "'No.' is a complete sentence." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted May 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 yeah I'm usually the type to blow up over this sort of stuff. but when you have to be neighbors with someone it's kind of a delicate situation. I think the other guys are right. you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen the pics now, cementing the area between night also be a good idea. Could work well for everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ74U2NV Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 I'm not up on all the laws for this but if it were me, I'd be leery that the neighbor may try to claim an implied easement for use of your driveway that could even be pushed to the point of quit claiming the easement. Cementing the area in between would bolster his claim of an easement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 You came in pretty hot but now it seems like really you don't actually mind that he uses your driveway. You should probably give him a clicker to the door also; the last neighbor did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
