Living on a cross lease property. Very nice neighbours on one side of the drive. We have the larger section on the opposite side of the drive. On the front of our section we have a big flatish grass area. The neighbours have very little flat grass area on their side of the property. They asked if their kids could come play on our side of the drive on our lawn, which I said, "please treat it as your own" Which they have done on the odd occasion..
Now comes the time I need a shed and spoke to them about putting a shed on our side of the shared driveway on our front lawn. Been over a month and they just aren't giving me an answer. Last time I spoke to them, the wife said, but I like looking at the grass. So Im now assuming its a no. Although I will keep pressing them.
I have been all through the title and cant see anything specific in there. Just a plain simple cross lease title with no condition that pertain to ownership or use.
So im wondering where to from here? Im thinking of calling my lawyer tomorrow for a chat to see what he thinks but wondered if anyone in here had any ideas or knowledge in this area? Someone said that they have the option to say no but it must be for a reasonable reason.. Any truth in that?
Can I just go ahead and dump a couple of shipping containers on my front lawn? Could that be the answer?
Or am I screwed if they play hard ball as I suspect they will. Any thoughts appreciated.
