我爱杜鹃花 发表于 2015-2-21 22:36 
很有道理,谢谢你了。准备找个律师咨询一下。

Can I make my neighbours pay for damage to my property, caused by their tree’s roots?
Tree roots can damage walls, drains and so on. If the roots of your neighbour’s trees have blocked or damaged your drains, then they can be liable for the cost of the repairs to your drains. You have the right to cut off encroaching roots or branches to prevent damage to your property, but would have to return those to your neighbour.
If you and your neighbour are in dispute about the costs you can make a claim to the Disputes Tribunal (or, if the amount claimed is more than $15,000, the District Court).

Who pays?
If you have incurred costs in cutting back the roots and branches on your side of the boundary, you probably will not be able to claim them back from the tree owner.
But if the roots of your neighbour's tree have damaged your drains or a branch falls on your house, they will probably have to pay. Even if the damage results from forces outside your neighbour's control, they may still be liable if they could have been expected to know the tree was unsafe, and did not take reasonable steps to make it safe.
This means they will have to pay the costs of fixing up the problem as well as any compensation that may be due.
Even if your neighbour's tree has caused no damage, but is simply being a nuisance, perhaps by blocking sun or light, they may still be liable for the cost of getting the nuisance resolved. This is because tree owners should take reasonable steps to stop the trees interfering with their neighbour's enjoyment of their own properties. |
