neighbour from hell

thanks for the input i have checked into the fence line act for toronto and it would still cost me &1100.00 up front

If you plan on staying at this home I would put up a fence on my side of the property line and be done with it. Most likely the guy doesn't have the cash.

In Oakville the by-law states your neighbor is responsible for "half the cost of a chain link fence." Probabably similiar rules in T.O.

I had the same problem and put up my own fence and made sure his side looked like crap. I achieved the crap look by flicking stain and the his side of the fence with a brush. Kind of looks like the Jolly Green Giant sneezed on his side of the world. Every year he asks when I am going to finish painting my fence.

to tell you the truth cash is not the issue he is a contractor and he is being a prick the building inspectors came and saw all the work he was doing with out a permit and came down on him now he thinkes i called them

put your own fence up 6 inches from the property line and tell the next door neighbour not to touch it! that way you can put up your own fence and if you paint it don't paint his side...this should piss him off to no end!
cheers

The guy's a real asshole if he thinks that. It was probably someone else on your street that called.

I'm not sure of the hight restriction there, but my daughter lives in Oshawa and their fence was 6' and they had to lower it.

If you can afford it put up a fence 2" inside your property line and make his side as ugle and grotesque as posible. If he does anything to the fence then call the cops and have him charged for defacing your property.
