Is there any legal recourse in this situation?

Say you own a home. There’s a driveway going up the side of it. Next door is a rent house. Technically the rent house property line is 2 foot on the drive way. Owner Of rent house refuses to sell this strip but wants full use of the driveway. Is there anything that can be done legally to get ownership of the full drive?

I would install a low cinder block wall just inside property line. "I" could be either owner.

If I was the owner of the rental, I’d sue you for building a driveway on my property

Old neighborhood. It’s crazy because the line goes all the way to the back. Which is gated and fenced in.

Driveway was there when house was purchased.

Have you had a property survey to confirm the property line. We owned a house that a rod was punched in the ground showing the property line - that way it helped the surveyors when they had to mark the property

Rent a concrete saw and cut off 2 feet of your driveway

I like the cinder block idea

Take a jackhammer and bust up the 2 ft of driveway hanging over the line.

If you piss him off you arent going to have a driveway anymore if its not wide enough

Just make a reasonable offer

Otherwise you are going to wake up with a fence running down his line in "your" driveway and you are fricked

I’d rent a concrete saw and a jackhammer and leave the rental property owner with his 2’ strip of concrete.

It’s not me. I’m asking for a buddy. He offered 1000. The dumb bitch is just being difficult. This all started because someone new is moving in. They should have just knocked on the door and he would have moved.

Why did you buy a house where the driveway provides access to another house without figuring this shite out beforehand?

So OP is going to remove his own driveway to punish the house next door?

That makes no sense

Its OP's driveway minus the two feet.

No if its wide enough without the two feet is the question for OP

Could do a simple post and cable barrier if you wanted to be hard on it. Cheap and ugly. Make them realize bad surveys have consequences.

How does this get discovered so late, and why now?

wants full use of the driveway


That doesn't make any sense.

Negative. But I told him the cinder block idea. At this point I think he should just do it out of spite.

You might have an adverse possession case to make. It's really dependent on your locale.
