Dogs next door pushing over the asbestos fence

Hi all,
The next door neighbor has 2 large dogs who are pushing their way through the asbestos fence so the hole is getting greater. I popped up my side of the fence with steel rods but situation has not improved. Neighbor is out of work single mum with a liking for the bottle.
I haven't talked to her yet. My amazing tenants don't leave the kids in the back yard any more in case they break through the fence.

Obviously I need to talk to her but I don't see that she can do anything. I know she hasn't saved the money to replace the fence with me.

If I put colourbond fence in, they can dig under the fence. If I put Supersix fence in, the gales of wind that blow though could blow it over.

Any suggestions about the fence and the neighbour?

Many thanks

 

As a LL you probably have a common law obligation to keep your tenants safe from neighbour dogs and asbestos fibers. If it were me, I'd get 3 x quotes to replace the fence, notify your neighbour in writing with the quotes, pick one and get the work done. Seek reimbursement 50-50 from your neighbour in line with the Dividing Fences Act in your state. Do it now without delay.

 

Thanks Propertunity. I checked out the fence. The hole isn't really big. The problem is the dog can jump that high! And while I was there, jumped the fence and took off down the road.
I have let the rangers know and they advise we have to catch it in the act escaping.
Will need to do some creative fencing I think.

 

Its ok. The dogs have inhaled so much asbestos fibers that they will die of lung cancer soon.

 

I suggest painting the broken edges of the asbestos sheet to stop further fibre release.
