Depending on the laws of the state as to the property rulings in a case like this.
By logic and reason, if the tree is on the rental property, the owner is liable for damages to anything the tree destroys or damages, once you've established the property line. You may need to have a surveyor come out and survey the properties to establish jurisdiction, and I'm not sure as to what the homeowners insurance rules are in a case like this.
Couple of years ago, I contacted a surveyor, to do just my propery perimeter survey would be over $2,000. I'm not prepared to drop that much just to establish the location of an imaginary line, not yet at least.
The Ga Power guy yesterday told me that the power company tries to place power poles at the intersection of properties along streets, which is what we thought.
So knowing that as a reference, if we assume the location of the back corner, the property line will fall almost dead center of that tree
The tree that fell is inside the yellow circle.
Oh wow, that may mean you might have to split the cost 50 / 50!
Also, if anything got damaged in your yard, their insurance would probably be picking up the tab if the tree was in his yard.
Not sure what all the requirements are for support and guidance you have there since you're 3000 miles away.
I would go for 50/50 taking out the remaining tree, or at least trimming the limbs up high to make it less dangerous, but that's crazy, it makes better sense to take the whole thing out
Yes, if > 50% of the tree is broken off, absolutely, remove the rest if all of the remaining limbs are making it topheavy. They would have to open up the canopy so that the canopy is not a big wind sail.
