for no other reason the tree guys won’t want to go onto your property without your permission. If the tree had been leaning for years, and showed signs that a reasonable person would conclude it posed a hazard, then your neighbor would likely legally owe you for your expenses to fix the fence and remove the tree. The issue is in you pursuing it against the neighbor. If he doesn’t voluntarily offer to reimburse you, you’d have to take him to court. If you did go through your insurance, then your insurer would pursue him in court. Subrogation. Your best bet is to get him to file a claim through his own insurer, then you make a liability claim against with his Homeowners/Rental insurance. Good luck ** Edited by Stork at 6/20/2025, 3:58:12 AM
