Property disputes just don’t have to occur between two neighbors. Property disputes can also occur between a land owner and city officials or a homeowner’s association. The majority of property disputes between a land owner and the government are claims that the property cannot be used for certain things or certain activities are restricted during a specific period of time. Property disputes can also include the restriction of parking a vehicle in front of a property, installing a satellite dish, or building a shed on the property. Property disputes can include one or more of the following items:

• Landlords (repairs, tenancy agreements)
• Mortgage disputes
• Neighbors, (boundaries, access rights, nuisance)
• Party wall issues
• Planning and environment issues
• Possession proceedings
• Professional negligence (architects, surveyors, builders)
• Recovery of premises from unlawful occupiers
• Rent and service charges
• Service charge disputes

A property dispute attorney should be consulted with and hired immediately following the reception of a letter from a homeowner’s association or the city government detailing property line problems with a person’s property. A property dispute could also arise as a result of joint tenancy, tenancy by the entirety, and tenancy in common. Joint tenancy is when two people have an undivided interest in real property and they have a right in the property upon the other person’s death. Tenancy by the entirety is when spouses have an undivided interest in real and have a right to the whole property upon the survival of the other spouse. Tenancy in common is when several people have an undivided interest in real property but do not have right to the whole property upon anyone else’s death.
