Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Oregon
Boundary Fence Dispute
My next door neighbor and I both share
a fence in our enclosed back yards. My
neighbors property is run by a property
manager. I worked with this property
manager over 4 month period in an
agreement to replace the rotting and
falling fence with a new fence. In all
converstations there was always
agreement to pay 50-50 and get work
done and we even secured a
comparison bid to placate the owner
who thought first bid was too high
(hence owner in agreement on spliting
costs and doing work...just wants cheap
solution). I gave over 4 weeks notice of
the date I booked for getting work
done... and even contacted the PM
14days prior to work date to remind
him to have a check ready for vendor
and to let tenants know... on the day of
the work they said that the owner
changed her mind and now refuse to
pay. I want to avoid legal
proceedings.. but feel strongly they
should pay 50% for fence that their
property uses to equal use. What would
you suggest?

Re: Boundary Fence Dispute
There is an Oregon statute which provides that both property owners shall be responible for one-half of the cost of a partition fence. Additionally, the prevailing party is statutorily entitled to attorney fees. In order to fully ananlyze your claim, an attorney would need more specific facts.
