Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Property line maintainence
My neighbor has a chain link fence on our property line. On his side of the fence he has planted a hedge which grows through & over the fence. He says that I am responsible for trimming & removal of the part growing through and over the fence. I think it is his responsability. Am I right or wrong?

Re: Property line maintainence
The general rule is that you may trim the hedge. Although the expense is that of your neighbor, practicality suggests you split the expense.
