@Theresa Harris If I prefer not to replace the boards yet (because that the cost could be divided if I decided to replace the fence, or make my neighbor pay for the fence, if their dog is the cause of the collapse of the fence), but merely warns the neighbor not to have the dog bark and lunge at the fence, how should I approach them?

Hi, I have a neighbor with a baby and his wife next door whom they have a big dog. The dog is sensitive to noise in my backyard near a worn fence where it separates the property line. The dog frequently reacts to any of my activity near the fence and barks and lunges at the fence where the lower horizontal rail has been bulging outward for a long time. Although the fence is old but it still stands, yet it's annoying to hear the dog barks and lunges at the fence. I'm concerned that the continuing lunging of the dog at the fence may collapse the already worn fence. If I want to warn my neighbor diplomatically about his dog's behaviors, how should I go about this? Thank you.

Thanks for the insight. I did wonder why did someone tow and park a car in front of my house on a public street. There might be two reasons: (1) They found a spot and (2) It had to "move" from where it was parked previously!

 The thing is that I don't know the name of the company that towed and dropped it off in front of my house. My camera only showed what appeared to be a private pickup truck that towed and dropped the car off.

 What do you mean by "tag your it"?

I have installed surveillance camera in the front of my house and 3 days ago it captured that a pickup truck towed a coupe (a type of car) to the front of my house and the coupe has been since parked in front of my house. I don't think the coupe belongs to any of my close neighbors as I have not seen this coupe before. It also captured someone opening the door of the coupe but left soon afterwards. I inspected the coupe through the window and it appears the car hasn't been driven for a long time and there was dust accumulation inside. Today marks the 4th day of the coupe being parked in front of my house and I looked up my city's vehicle abatement code enforcement that if a vehicle appears to have been abandoned on a street for more than 72 hours that I can call the abandoned vehicle hotline in the police department. I'm considering calling the hotline but concern if the owner of the vehicle may retaliate. I have a feeling that since the coupe was parked in front of my house, the owner may be around. Any suggestions on how I should proceed? Thank you.

my question is “whose responsibility is that?” and this is for garbage only. I’m not sure if he has other bills he did not pay and final notices of those bills are coming to me.

I had a tenant who moved out almost 6 months ago. Yesterday, I received a written notice mailed to my address from his garbage collection company that he used while renting my property that he has a past due around $8. The garbage collection company said this is a final notice and I need to pay this amount within 30 days or a lien will be placed on my property. I have noticed my tenant and still waiting for his response. I know my tenant’s new address and he bought a home. What disciplinary action can I take against him if he doesn’t pay on time? Paying his past due myself is the last resort.
