Eviction Question — neighbor's tree damaging my property

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

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

I have been renting for 4 years. My monthly rent is $4,135. I have a written lease.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the implied warranty of habitability. Your state may provide additional protections.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I've dealt with this before.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

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

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
