邻居要求换fence,但我觉得不需要换。因为他们是rebuild,想要把landscaping做漂亮点,可我的房子在出租,自己不去住,fence并没有倒塌只是有些旧,所以暂时没这个预算。邻居给的报价是4000 in total,是给他做landscaping的公司,我算了一下大概$50/linear ft,好像并不便宜. 我说我今年没有replace fence的budget,他短信我, + D* e+ w6 n% i: p 2 t0 o* c* A7 X+ \I'm not asking.

By the way if you do not agree with cost of the fence, you may ask for another quote to let your neighbor know.

Thank you very much. 3 q: t& O3 h4 ]2 s; j
Can you also suggest how to find out the existing boundary position?

I do not think you have any obligation to pay, call 311 and ask what your options are in this situation. My neighbour agreed to pay 1/2 of the fence cost, and after I sent the bill to them, they claimed they had no money. So, what coudl you do? - _ D( P w, H' u7 ^! r; G$ g/ P, u5 z. N# s2 N2 x0 Z1 ~
ON the other side, if it is your rental place, you have the obligation to make sure it is safe for your tenant.
