Some folks just cant take a hint, especially when it comes to neighbors.
Basically, your very own slice of paradise.
For me, that sounds like a dream life.
Yes, her private pool.
Well, not according to her neighbors from the condos across the street.
Marie, one of those neighbors, decided to pay the OP a visit.
But she wasnt there to deliver a friendly Welcome to the neighborhood basket.
Turns out, the previoushomeownershad been letting their neighbors use their private yard as a shortcut to the beach.
Not only that, but theyd even let people use their pool sometimes.
Sounds like a community perk, except the OP wasnt on board with continuing the tradition.
When Marie asked if they could keep this little arrangement going, the OPs response was a big No.
She wasnt interested in sharing her sanctuary with people she didnt know, and who could blame her?
After all, she bought the house for the yard, not to run a public pool party.
Marie didnt take kindly to the OPs refusal.
In fact, she got downright mad.
How dare the OP gate off the beach path and ruin their way of life?
Our OP, however, didnt back down.
She wasnt about to turn her home into acommunityroad for strangers just because it was more convenient for them.
But Marie wasnt alone.
Soon enough, other condo residents were buzzing about OPs selfish fence.
Some even confronted her directly, questioning if she was really going to block off their precious shortcut.
Easements often involve neighboring homeowners such as when a neighbor uses a shared driveway, experts advise.
So legally, the OP was in the clear.
After all, that yard is the reason she bought the house in the first place.
