Neighbour Dispute
I hope this is the proper sub to share this. We live in toronto and recently moved into a new home. It's been less than a year and we have had a good relationship with our neighbours so far.
I would say over the last two or three months, we noticed our neighbours shifting a water storage container near the fence which we believe is our property. When we purchased the home, the realtor also let us know that half the fence is ours and half is theirs. There is no fence dividing the sides of our home and theirs. We were super confused by their recent actions that we went and pulled the survey records and images from Google also support (their side is painted in a different colour from ours) throughout the years of how the division was done.
Last month we approached them to kindly move their water container because it was actually sinking into the ground and creating a slope in the ground which is causing water to be diverted into our basement. This is resulting a leak through the walls which was not previously there.
Their response was that they are adamant that our city provided paper work is wrong and they almost teared up the paper we showed them.
What can we possibly do in this situation? We want to resolve this because we are not the kind of people to argue years over this stuff and our next step would be to build a fence to eliminate any future disputes. We are not sure what to do.
