Advice for trailer park owner
Posted on 9/25/17 at 9:16 am

Ok, so long story short- I own a trailer park. Everything runs pretty smoothly for the most part, but recently I have had two tenants arguing back and forth about building a fence.
Resident A (good ole baw, works hard as a welder to support his wife and 2 pit bulls) has been there for a while and recently built a fence in his back yard.
Resident B (the new neighbor) is new to the block and wants to build a fence as well. He wants to use Resident A's existing fence to tie into his (essentially would only have to pay for 3 sides, saving some $), which Resident A is directly against.
Both have come to me whining about the other, but I do not know who to agree. As property owner, it is my power to to determine who to side regarding the fence.
I am all for the fence building as I am in line to benefit from the leasehold improvements to the trailers and yards, so definitely want to get this done.
What say the OT?

Let the liquor do the thinking.

Why doesn't B just build right up to the existing fence without touching it?

I hope I can own a trailer park one day, this sounds hilarious. In.

It's tenant A's fence and he can decline. Tell tenant B to build up to the fence and leave a gap if he's too cheap to build his own. Dick move by A but within his rights.

Building a fence means a whole fence. It is not the neighbors responsibility to allow someone to tie into the fence he built. IMO

fences make good neighbors, do whatever is needed to insure maximum construction of fences.

The frick is up with people and their fences?
Posted on 9/25/17 at 9:19 am to JetFuelTyga
Resident B should offer something to A in order to say thanks. Couple cases of keystone should suffice.

I'm assuming we're talking chain link?

Knock $100 off A's rent for a month and tell B you/A get final veto on aesthetics of fence tying up to A's.
Win for everyone.

there can be some decent money in that

Pay A the amount it cost him to build the tie end run that B wants. Charge B what you paid A.

How much are monthly premiums on that?

I would say this - either offer A deal where you cut his rent (a bit) for 6 months if he lets B do the 3-sided fence.
IF he doesn't go for this, then offer B a credit - go halfsies with him - you split the cost of the entire 4-sided fence with him, but he has to leave it as is when he moves.
I don't see how you make everybody happy without a little skin in the game.

I would tell them all fences have to be run by me first.
I would say if the fence comes close to the trailer park B's line he can butt up to it.
As a property owner I do not want two fences back to back with grass growing inbetween the fences.
If they don't like it both can be replaced with new tenants.

My fence doesn't tie in with my neighbor's even though they both told me we could. My guy put his own post. There's like a 1/2" gap. I don't see why it's a problem.

Offer tenant A half of what it cost him to build that one side of his fence and let B tie into it. You benefit in the long run and it costs you a couple hundred at the most.
After fences are built. Raise rent because they now have fenced lots.

Every goddamn week there's a thread about neighbors and fences. We should write a fence manual and sticky it.
