I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

neighbor's tree damaging my property. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving tbh.

I have been renting for 2 years. My monthly rent is $2,282. I have a written lease.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

So basically not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

What trips people up most is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
