Fifteen years ago, my neighbor sneakily moved his fence two feet onto my property. When I caught him, he just smirked and said, “Come on, you’ll never use that little strip of land anyway.” Instead of arguing or hiring a lawyer, I quietly let it go and waited.
Fast forward to this year. Hoping to flip his house for a massive profit, he decided to install a luxury swimming pool.
Before the final inspection, the contractors needed the official property survey. Luckily, I had kept every single boundary document from the day I bought my house.
The official results were glorious. Not only had his fence been trespassing for over a decade, but nearly a third of his brand-new luxury pool was sitting directly on my land.
Now, his big property sale is completely frozen until he tears out a massive chunk of his beloved pool. Turns out, moving a fence is easy—but moving a swimming pool is a whole different stroke!
