I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

neighbor's tree damaging my property. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 7 years. My monthly rent is $3,818. I have a written lease.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

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.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up having everything documented which sucks, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

This comes up a lot.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
