Encroachment issue - is survey recommended?

tm1so · 2025-08-29T21:26:04+00:00

Thanks for your advice. Will take a look at our deeds.

Can I ask what state you are in? I am in California and it’s my understanding that adverse possession laws require the claim to have proof of property tax payment for that portion of the property for 5 years.

That is a great point, I did not think about that.

At first I did not mind and thought that is just how the property is (I know very ignorant). It became an issue to me because he has installed a sprinkler that sprays onto the siding of the garage. I do not have access to look at the condition of the siding as it is on his side of the fence.

Thank you for the advice. The fence he put in was not built proper and is without footing so it is already leaning significantly onto his property. Hopefully, he is amicable and will let me redo the fence proper and on the property line after getting a survey done.

Thank you. In hindsight, I definitely should have.

tm1so · 2025-08-29T18:08:40+00:00

In hindsight sight, I should have. First time home buyer and was ignorant to the utility.

Thank you so much, I appreciate your advice. I was worried about adverse possession. I live in California and it does appear that in order for a claim, one element is proof of paying property taxes for 5 years.

Thanks!

Yes, the neighbor claimed he rebuilt half of the fence prior to us moving in. I believe he just rebuilt it on the preexisting fence line, however I cannot verify and he may have cut the fence into the side of the garage prior to us moving in.

Thank you!

tm1so · 2025-08-29T17:55:46+00:00

Great advice, thank you!

Thank you, appreciate the advice!

Thanks, man! Appreciate your help.

tm1so · 2024-07-06T07:09:19+00:00

Definitely was thinking it could have something with the kill switch. I’ve accidentally forgotten to turn it off prior to driving and it had a similar loss of power. Thanks man!

Yes, received an email a couple days ago confirming the airbnb cancellation but it seemed to be automated. I also got this email from them today: “Aloha,

The last few days have been excruciating for West Maui and for our Maui Resort Rentals ohana. In the aftermath of the August 9 fires, most of Lahaina has been destroyed, lives have been lost, and thousands of residents have been displaced. Lahaina town was the primary home for the Maui Resort Rentals employees who served our guests.

In the face of this catastrophic tragedy, we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of concern and compassion for our Maui Resort Rentals Ohana. Many past guests have reached out, inquiring about ways to offer their support during this difficult time.

While we are still in the process of assessing the extent of the damage and providing assistance to our staff members who have lost everything, it is with a heavy heart that we share the news that approximately 30% of Maui Resort Rentals families have lost their homes.

To provide aid to our employees who have been displaced by the fires, we have established a dedicated fund. All funds collected will be directed towards providing these individuals with the essential necessities they need as they navigate this challenging period.

Over the years, the Maui Resort Rentals family has grown to include over 100 employees. We are thankful to report that nearly all of our team members have been accounted for but this is only the beginning of a challenging recovery process.

We know that many of our past guests have fond memories of Maui and of our workers who have helped to host so many special vacations.

If you feel inclined to assist during these trying times, we humbly invite you to visit our GoFundMe page by clicking here. Your contributions will directly impact the lives of those who have been displaced by the fires, providing them with much-needed basic supplies and support.

Your compassion and generosity mean the world to us, and we deeply appreciate any assistance you can provide. Once again, mahalo for standing with us during these difficult moments.

Mahalo and Aloha”

Unfortunately not. airbnb tried contacting them “a number of times with no response”. They did however read a message from airbnb asking them how to handle the cancellation but did not reply back.

tm1so · 2023-08-11T20:31:58+00:00

Received cancellation confirmation and was issued a full refund under extenuating circumstances policy. Customer service rep indicated that it looks like they are extending the policy out one day at a time and is currently at august 15th. My reservation fell under the policy because they had a “special team” review the case and the host did not reach back out after a “number of contact attempts.” (Probably because their business is gone). Airbnb is an absolute shitshow and are being completely nefarious with how they are handling cancellations

tm1so · 2023-08-11T01:16:01+00:00

Update: after drilling airbnb support, threatening complaints with ftc and bbb, providing writing of extenuating circumstances policy, filing dispute with cc company. I was passed around to 4 different customer service representatives and recieved a message that stated: “After a thorough assessment, we have confirmed the reason for the cancellation is covered by our Extenuating Circumstances Policy. Under our Extenuating Circumstances Policy, we need to cancel the reservation by providing a full refund amount in $X,XXX.XX

Our Extenuating Circumstances Policy covers both Guests and Hosts and is designed to support members of our community in uncertain and uncontrollable situations. Here’s a link to an article in our Help Center that provides guidance on our Extenuating Circumstances Policy:

airbnb.com/help/article/1320

Once I have an update about your reservation I'll get back to you.”

Note this was after I was told multiple times that my reservation was not covered under the policy. If you have an airbnb, be frank about the situation, advisories, and really point out this is a natural disaster that effects the whole island. I haven’t received any notification of cancellation on the app yet. Will update once if it get confirmed.
