The current fence is a metal fence, it actually has been bent a little because of the roots and normal wear and tear (they have three big dogs), I suggested cutting off the roots, they said we plan on staying here a while, so it will just ruin our new fence in a few years, I said thats a long few year LOL, But yeah, I wanted to know who's liable, everything I read says whoever's side its on..The other thing is I want to make sure not to damage the tree(not really too worried about this) not trying to have it fall over on our house or theirs 

For those of you who landlord in borderline areas or worse, what's your rule of thumb on when to put security metal over your windows and doors?

Engineered metal goes up in a long weekend. 

Criminals will steal your A/C for 50$ of scrap metal and cost you thousands.

Someone actually has a 1973 that was redone but still has the metal siding and they are wanting 20k.

Note: When you say, “That isn’t going to happen to you,” shake your head side-to–side, expressing the no/negative bodily mannerism.REI Statement: “Another positive factor is you won’t have any of the monthly costs that add up while waiting for the right buyer to come along with the right offer, and have that buyer be one who can actually follow through on the purchase.”Note: I am communicating three items in this statement that are important: •One, I am the right buyer.
