Help! Landlord/Home Owner Obligations Question

[Zane Zeigler]

Hey all,

I recently purchased a property in Fort Worth, TX last April. There is a retaining wall and fence that separate my yard from my neighbor's. Both the retaining wall and fence are 20+ years old and need replaced. My neighbor's are actually the renters who have dogs that constantly get out because the fence is in such disrepair. I haven't talked to the landlord yet, but I would like to split the cost and get the fence and retaining wall fixed. I was wondering if anyone on here is familiar with the laws in Texas on who is obligated to fix fences that are used by both parties. Essentially, what are my options if he doesn't want to pay to replace the fence and retaining wall. Thanks for the help!
