Question:

My neighbour has built scaffolding in my garden?

My neighbour has built scaffolding in my garden, I would be fine with it except it stops about halfway over my door.When i questioned what was going on the contractor said that they had permission to build it there but neither myself or my landlord have given permission.What can i do, I don't know who it is that is getting work done, i live in flats there are about 10 house next door, so i can't ask them to move it.

Answer:

If this is obstructing your access then you hae a right to have this moved tell your neighbour that you need to remove the scaffolding ..Also tell the contractor that you will need to see a copy of the permission that has been given .If none of this is available then ask them to remove the scaffolding then contact you land Lord as he will have the right to charge a fee for either the removal of the scaffolding or the time it is on his land and has the right to refuse permission to have it on his land
call your city building inspection office if you live in the US. They'll come out and literally fine them. OR trip and fall over the scaffolding and say you injured yourself due to their negligence. Get some money out of them before they get fined by the city.
