We rent, and neighbors keep parking on our land they have moved surveyers stakes to say it is theirs.?

We have a copy of the survey and they keep insisting they are parking on their land.They park in front of our cars so we can't get out.We cannot afford to move, so that is not an option, and my landlord can't afford to have it resurveyed.What options do we have? we live in North Carolina does anyone know the laws here regarding situations like this? Please HELP ME

If you are absolutely positive the land they are parking on is land you are paying rent for, then give them a verbal warning, then a written warning then call the cops and have them issue a warning. If that still doesn't stop them call the town/city and have them tow their cars as they are illegally parked on your property. Make sure your landlord is aware of everything because he/she will likely have to show up in court if you get sued.





Of course you would win that lawsuit, but you may still have to face it.
Reply:I would go to the City Hall and get a surveyors map that shows where your property and your neighbors property are marked. If that does not help I would go to the police and have them tow the cars since they are parking on your land. Inform your landlord what you are doing.
Reply:go to the town hall..tomorrow am...and ask the building inspector what to do...





you sound as you have more of a problem with your neighbor harassing you...than, a parking problem...dont get upset...dont tell anyone what you are going to do...just go do as i suggested..and, let him advise you as to what you should do...this doesnt sound righ to me..





best wishes
Reply:somebody is going to have to prove it is their land. Either your landlord or your neighbors.


Until then, just keep on acting as though it is your rented property.


Records should be kept at the county deeds office.
Reply:Actually it is your landlords duties. You can sue your landlord if he does not do something about you having your cars blocked in.





You can call and have thier cars towed if they are parked on the land that you have rented.





But in the end, if no one has the money for lawyers and for a surveyor, not much can really be done.
Reply:That sucks. It sounds like they're not even interested in being cooperative, either.





If you're landlord isn't willing to help, I don't know what recourse you have. Have you been to the courthouse to check on the land plat? Ask the people at the courthouse for advice.





I can't imagine why you landlord would have to have it re-surveyed. The survey on file at the courthouse should have the legal lines. Can't you make a copy of this and show it to your neighbors? If the don't comply, call the police, I guess.





I wish that I could be more help. I am a landlord, and I would do something about it for my renters. I can't imagine why your landlord wouldn't.





Good luck.
