Neighbor angry I had his vines cut down, what can he do? (1 Viewer)

I actually went over and talked to them (####### next door neighbor, they couldn't walk across their front lawn and talk to me about it).  They said they talked to a lawyer about it and that's what he suggested.  I asked if the lawyer also suggested all the misspellings in the letter and walked away.  Pissed me off to no end.  I moved just a few months later, which was always the plan anyway.  Feel sorry for the new owners dealing with it, but that's their problem now.

Back to the original post here - had he dug up the roots of the plants on his side, and that ended up killing the plants/vines - would the other guy have any legal recourse?  As that happened with those same previous neighbors of mine - but with me moving, I didn't do anything about it. 

Have to think if there was any recourse, it would be the cost of a vine.  A couple bucks maybe?

a lot of money can be tied to "aesthetics" of landscaping.

It's good that he turned down your offer, otherwise you'd have to put up with the vine tearing up your fence again. Now you can cut it back each time it takes hold.

So I had a similar situation at my last house.  My b**** of a neighbor sent me a certified letter making note of a huge tree in my front yard.  None of it was dead, or dying, or even looked bad.  It provided tons of shade over my house, and looked beautiful.  The letter stated that any damage coming from the tree or any parts of it falling (on their bushes, not their house) would be my responsibility.  I laughed, didn't do a thing - and have since moved.  The buyers of the house ended up having the tree cut down at their expense due to the ongoing requests, I feel bad for them.

Is your neighbor @Otis? 

Well, is it?
