This is part of an escalating situation regarding a neighbor who feels it's within their power to determine how we are to use our own property. We left reasonable vegetation boundaries where there were none on the other side of the boundary line and in fact the previous owner had dozed into our property and used it as a portion of their driveway until we arrived (no problems, no biggie). The first owner sold after being here for 30 years and needed to return home for family matters and age. A great neighbor. A year ago we ended up with these dictators in the previous owners place. Rude, obnoxious people, blasting music above 70db according to my decibel meter within our property, peeping through our bushes making rude and patently false accusations of which they alone stand guilty of. Etc. Bla Bla bla. In any case, now the individual is snapping off pictures through our bushes of us while demanding we not use that area of our property, etc. He seems to think he's on an evidence collection mission where I see the only evidence is of him violating our privacy.
Mr. Tom has a good question: Renter or Owner? If renter, yes, contact Owner/Agent/Rep (in writing, too...sometimes they forget; Just saying.).
If Owner, lawyer is a good suggestion. One letter; stating the outcome should this behavior continue, given your rights. Cost around $200.00USD. (*Side note: I have a really good lawyer if you need help with this kind of nonsense. Sorry, O/T). Been there, and done that crap.
On the other hand, reading your posts in the past, taking the matters into your own hands, avoiding legal (and physical) confrontation, besides cookies and a reasonable discussion, send a registered letter (detailed) with your concerns and your approach to solution. Tenure must stand for something.
Good luck with these people. You're strong enough and smart enough to make the right decision.
JMO.
