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.
