I have a question regarding the part our property which I believe is called an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153easement\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I’m trying to figure out what right we have as owners of that of land. The land in question is approx. 10ft in the back of our site – this 10ft makes up HALF of a common driveway shared by two long rows of townhouses (so homeowners can access their back garages.) We are the very last unit on the end of this long common driveway, yes, at a deadend that is almost a whole block deep, a magnet for those looking for a dark hideaway\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
My understanding of an easement is that it allows people to use your land to travel over, but it doesn’t mean they have a right to park there, correct? I looked on the survey and its called out as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Right-of-Way.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Is that the official term? Where can I find out the laws and our rights regarding this 10ft space?<\/p>\n
Our problems are exacerbated by our neighbor 3 houses down. He seems to tells all his friends they can park anywhere in this common driveway. He takes no responsibility for where they park and has told us to our faces, he will vouch for them if they are towed. Then there are others who do not live anywhere on the block and are looking for a place to do drugs or have backseat sex in a dark place. It’s hard to tell the two apart and the latter type will leave all sorts of trash back there after their trysts.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have a question regarding the part our property which I believe is called an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153easement\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I’m trying to figure out what right we have as owners of that of land.
