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).作者: 等待爱情 时间: 2013-5-25 02:53:51
