My tree limb hit a neighbor's power line
Okay, so, you see where this is going...
Big storm today, and one of my tree branches (big!) came down into my neighbor's driveway. No damage (thank goodness!) other than a downed power line.
I am a landlord, but in this case, this is my primary residence, and the house next door is owned by a landlord. I am glad to help with whatever is my responsibility, but I just want to know legally who is on the hook for what.
Questions:
1) Who is responsible for the removal of the debris?
2) Who is responsible for the downed power line?
3) My landlord neighbor now wants me to take down 4-5 trees, so that this doesn't happen again. The trees are healthy, but I understand his nervousness. What is reasonable to say to this request?
Thank you for the help!
