Just found out our breaker has been powering neighbor’s garage for decades. Landlord nextdoor says it’s not their problem. What now?

We bought half of a 100-year-old duplex last year. Everything was great until about two months after moving in, when I noticed a few breakers in our panel didn’t power anything in our unit. I flipped them off. And our neighbors showed up wondering why their garage had no electricity. Turns out, one of their breakers is in our panel and has been powering their garage for who knows how many years Even worse, their wiring is undersized for the breaker, so it’s not even safe. Thankfully the tenants only use it for the garage door and charging a leaf blower battery. So, at that moment, and not to brag, I generously left it on while I texted their landlord. No response. Today they finally replied after I brought it up again. They said they were told it’s been like this for so long that they don’t have to change it, and that she doesn’t have the money right now. Basically, she’s fine with us continuing to supply their power indefinitely. I’d like to keep a good relationship with the neighbors, but this has got to be total bullshit, right? It just feels wrong and potentially dangerous. Has anyone else dealt with something like this? #HomeOwnership #ElectricianLife #DuplexLiving #LandlordIssues #NeighborDrama #NeighborProblems #Home

My 9-year-old got a My 9-year-old got a trampoline. The HOA called it a “safety concern.”. The HOA called it a “safety concern.”

It’s summer. My kid finally got the backyard trampoline she’s been begging for all year. We set it up in the corner, surrounded by grass, enclosed net, not visible from the street. Week later: A neighbor “anonymously” complained. Then we got the HOA letter: “Outdoor play equipment must be approved by board review and cannot alter the uniform appearance of the community.” It’s a damn trampoline. She’s 9. She just wanted to bounce. What’s next? No chalk drawings on the driveway? No snowmen in winter? Who gets to decide what kind of childhood our kids are allowed to have? #House #neighbordrama

My Neighbor's Tree is a Catastrophic Ticking Time Bomb Leaning on My House. What can I do?

my neighbor's massive, downed tree has crashed into my yard, now precariously propped up and only held from total collapse by my own healthy tree. It's a terrifying, swaying sword of Damocles over my property, and my neighbor simply refuses to act. For months, I've exhausted every civilized avenue. I’ve repeatedly knocked on her door (to no answer), called and texted numbers she's used before, left desperate handwritten notes on her mailbox, and even sent a certified letter explicitly warning her of the imminent danger her tree poses to both our properties. After all this, silence. Absolute, chilling silence from her end, while that behemoth of a tree looms. I've called every single public resource. The response is always the same: a bureaucratic shrug. "It's privately owned," "It's not fully on the ground yet," "You're on your own." It's infuriating! My home, my family's safety, is quite literally hanging by a thread, dependent on my own tree's strength. Is an attorney truly my only hope to avert this potential catastrophe? I'm desperate for options beyond watching and waiting for disaster!! #TreeDanger #NeighborNightmare #LegalAdviceNeeded #CharlotteNC #HomeownerBeware #EmergencyHelp #PropertyDispute #NeighborDrama #NeighborProblems #Safety

my neighbor’s security system is terrorizing us — here’s what I’ve tried 😤

My neighbor’s “security” lights and blaring alarms go off every time I step into my own driveway — it’s like living in a prison yard. 🚨 After she lost her bogus lawsuit against us (over a fence she moved!), she doubled down with CPI Security sensors aimed at OUR yard. What’s worked (sort of): 1️⃣ Document EVERYTHING: Time-stamped videos saved our butts in court. 2️⃣ Local noise/light ordinances: Our county limits “nuisance alarms” — reporting her weekly now. 3️⃣ Passive-aggressive hack: Planted tall shrubs to block her sensors (petty? Maybe. Satisfying? YES). Anyone else stuck with a nightmare neighbor? Share your petty revenge ideas or legal wins below! 🏡💥 #NeighborDrama #HomeownerHell
