Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

property line crossed

I purchase a house a year ago but was not on the house until a week ago for the first time since we are now finally moving in.

The neighbor sold his house recently and the new owner is an investor that is gutting the house and then will sell it.

I noticed that they added an in-ground sprinkler system where one sprinkler is approximately 1-2 feet on my property. What legal actions can I take to have them remove that from my property.

Also, there is a water pump or something that has been there for a few years that also is partially on my property..can I have them remove that as well? I want to build a fence there on the property line.

thanks,

andreas

Re: property line crossed

You should get a survey that clearly indicates that your nieghbor water system is encroaching on you property. Once you have survey you can demand he remove the system or pay you a sum of money for the use of your property. If not, then you can sue in court for damages or for ejectment.
