Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Debris from neighbor's trees in my yard
My property is adjacent to a neighbor's yard which contains a tall ucalyptus tree and other trees that drop a large amount of leaves, branches, bark and other debris into my yard all year long. The ucalyptus tree does not cross the property line. Can you verify what the responsibilities are of my neighbor to maintain their trees and what applicable laws govern this? Thank you.

Re: Debris from neighbor's trees in my yard
Debris falling from trees into your yard, when the trees are on your neighbor's property and not hanging over your property line is not actionable under the law unless it is due to neglect of your neighbor in caring for the growth on his land. In that case, it might rise to the level of a private nuisance and you could get a court order requiring him to do something to ameliorate the problem.
