Big Rave about Neighbours!!!

[crashe]

Cats shit - it's what they do. Apart from that they have no real use.

They also piss too....

[ManDownUnder]

Until you hollow them out

uh huh...

Anyone call a Taxi(dermist)?

[Lou Girardin]

Something in the back of my mind tells me that cat owners are not responsible for the actions of their animals (unlike dog owners)...
s

That's because dogs have owners, cats have staff.

Preach it brother!

I'll tell ya what - you guys have certainly made me giggle. That's gotta be a good thing.

Nah - nothing else to the story at all, just exactly what I've written. The old guy next door (not part of the cross lease) threatened to kill them a few months back coz they were climbing his trees! I just laughed at him and didn't think any less of it. BUT........ the people in the front and the one in the back are all mates of the guy next door and obviously he has stirred them up into doing this. Quite noticeable is the fact that it was the old guy next door who delivered the letter (since been trespassed) and it's his lawyer that has written it. Obviously he couldn't do anything legally so he's got the others to put their names to it.

Apparently under Clause 18 of the cross lease, failure to remove the offending animals after two months will result in them entering my dwelling and me having to vacate!!!

Still waiting to hear back from my lawyer - but we all own the land jointly. Anyway have to estate agents coming around this arvo - let it be someone else's problem I reckon.

Can see a leaving party coming on!!!!! Gotta love those bikes!

They're pretty good at taking over the bed at night too!!!

Errr. Clause 18 of a cross lease? I'd suggest you get a copy of it and check.

'course you could "sell" the cats to someone just down the street. They'd own them then... and you couldn't be responsible for the cats coming "home"... and they're not party to the cross lease...

I suggest you make the problem the old guy's

Start shitting on their lawn in the middle of the night then laugh to yourself when they cant figure it out, My neighbours don’t harass me anymore this one chap told my mum to fuck off, when I heard about this I went for a hostile visit, he’s now rather chummy with us heh.

To be honest some of those old'er ones hate young people and our untidiness (my dad was 86 so I experienced this first hand) my advice is to do what your doing, then sue the fucks for legal costs or just warm your bike up RIGHT on 7am (that’s the legal time init?) without the headers, they will love you forever.

Do what my father in law did one time...

Start the mower - put it by the fence (fully fuelled)... and go out!

Maybe to work, maybe for a ride... It'd be fun on top of a trespass order so they weren't allowed to go near it!

You urgently need to get a copy of this cross lease clause 18.

Gee maybe I could try that on my neighbour cos they are shockers...

You set a date and time for the party and WE will all be there...
I do love a good party..... havent been to one in ages.

[ManDownUnder]

Just thinking about it... if you are going to move (and I'd make that a last resort personally... after all, this is over the offending of a CAT)... then make it worth your while.

As has been mentioned - rent the place out. Keep your equity and save on real estate fees.

Maybe a mother with young children, or someone on KB with a nice loud Harley...

And just before moving out, have a party or 5 every weekend. I'm sure some of the bods from here would help. Don;t be shy to publicise what's going on as well.

People need to be accountable for their actions and if the old guy across the road is being a dick, talk to him about it. Ask him why he put your neighbours against you and he's using a tool not available to him (clause on the X lease agreement).

I'd also confirm what leverage you have over the other x leases... like the un permitted buildings etc, check the fences are in the right place etc. If ANYTHIN is out of order you'll need to have it put right before you sell ... you'd be obliged to point out to any potential buyers that there are problems with the cross lease and make sure you let everyone know that the reason you're selling is because of the old bastard across the road and his gang of cronies gainging up on you enforcing stupid rules.

Hold out for a reasonable price too! It may never come and that very issue could frustrate the whole process.

Maybe put a bell on the cat collars to the neighbours can hear it coming - that way they can help train it for you. Give them all a water pistol so they can squirt it with water and train it to stay off their properties.

hmmm - so many ways to tackle this one.

Crikey, I thought you meant he was going to kill the old couple for climbing his trees for a minute there.

It'd be interesting to see a legal opinion on a cross-lease clause forcing a sale/eviction.
I don't think it would fly somehow.

I'm with you on that one. More like a civil remedy if anything (i.e. a fine of $200 to the neighbours).
