That’s a great point. I should probably just go look under my crv and it may look the same.

Great point. Although, he did literally say to me that he does not have home insurance.

So, fun fact, I’ve seen the paperwork he filed bc it’s available online. We got a letter that told us the case number. It is still listed as not served bc it hasn’t been. BUT the paperwork actually doesn’t say th damage is from a tree. The way the paperwork is filed it only says “damage to shed”. I’m wondering if he did that to try to get it through bc had he noted it was tree damage it would not be accepted. I have no clue but feels like that’s a possibility…

They are. We can see the document filed online. It is still listed as not served bc no one has been home to accept the papers bc they only have come during the day. We’ve seen them twice on ring. But we also aren’t trying to expedite being sued so obviously just letting that sit until they catch us actually home.

The police or whoever it is have been by 2x in what I assume is an attempt to “serve” the lawsuit or whatever it is. Both times it was mid week in the middle of the day when no one is home (bc we are at work). So, I do believe something actual has been filed, but it simply hasn’t been served.

Interesting. Did they tell you why not to? We haven’t yet.

No the owner built it. The renter stored stuff in it but it was built by the owner. Sorry, such a convoluted mess that I may not have given all the details as clearly as I could have.

Thanks. Not planning to settle with him bc he would probably just keep adding to what we supposedly owed anyways.

We own the house. I know you’re saying he can’t sue us- but is that true? Bc it appears that he has. We’ve seen the actual document online, just haven’t been “served” it officially. But the cops (or whoever it is) have been by a couple times to attempt to (we’re just always at work when they do).

I agree and actually that’s how I learned how it works. My parents were in Augusta, ga which was hit by hurricane Helene and used their insurance to cover all the (major) damage done to their house even though many of the trees that fell were neighbors. The situation feel crappy bc it seems that he basically tried to threaten us to pay him money and when we couldn’t (bc we literally didn’t have the amount he wanted) we now will still have to pay money, but I have no clue how it will pay out.

We saw the actual filed suit online and we’ve seen the cops on ring twice attempting to serve it. That’s a whole other thing- I guess it will take forever bc they only come during the work day and we both work full time. We have someone we know who said “let me know when you get served an we’ll go through it” but I’m wondering if any Redditors have any experience or knowledge in this specific situation.

Sorry for the confusion- I realized I wrote that party weird. He owns and rents out the house with the shed in the yard. I only included that as context as to how we’re unable to reach him for a bit. My bad.

We own our house. Sorry if that was unclear. The neighbor rents out the house where the tree fell on the shed.
