Can A Neighbor Park His Car In Front Of His House 24/7 To Prevent Us From Getting Motor Home Out Of Driveway?
We are the last house on a dead end, a gate is at dead end that opens to our acreage. There is white driveway stone to show further access. Neighbor across the street has been haressing us for 4 years from getting our motorhome in or out of our driveway which is 20 feet before the end of road. He has parked up against gate, in front of his house, he refuses to move car for me to get motorhome out and know he will completely block me if I get it out from getting it back into driveway. I have taken him to mediation with him signing agreement that he will not block motorhome, that lasted 2 weeks. I have taken him to court with a lawyer, he agreed not to block our RV's and cease doing 2 other charges I had on him with me dismissing the charges. Two weeks he block this gateway from me getting other RV through gate. I called the police and they said they can't do anything about it cause he was legally parked in front of his house. The town owns the roadway 30 feet by 24 ft wide in from gate, my property is surrounding this litte area they town owns. I showed police letter from lawyers showing of this agreement and was told I would have to go back to court. I pressed charges on harassment, neighbor refuses to move vehicle and I am unable to get either RV out from gate or driveway. I can't take the motorhome out of the driveway in the other direction since it is uphill...with overhang in back my driveway is uphill the tail end rips into the driveway, the town sewer line access to my house would get run over and there is a sharp curb I would have to drive over. So the only way out is in the direction towards our gate. I meet with the town today looking for help which they claim that nothing can be done. I need help!

I'd go further than hc's answer and suggest that if you possibly can - move house. We moved at the beginning of the year after trouble with our neighbour and the minute I walked through the door of the new place it was like somebody had cut a huge knot that had been bunched up inside me. You already know the mediation agreement isn't worth the paper it's written on...

Thank you Solvitquick, Joko need to read all that has posted. I feel I should have the freedom to take my motorhome out one day a month. That is not asking to much. Just excersing it so he brakes don't seize on it which could be costly if they do. Paying for gas for a 50 mile trip around the county once a month is worth it till we can afford to go camping again. We are both really looking forward to it.
Hey everyone....I did the great escape this past Friday. Since neighbor is blocking roadway...when they left for work I decided to use his driveway to get out. Had fun driving RV part of the way around the county....brake trouble...peddle to the floor. Slowly got her to my mechanic one mile away. Master cylinder....oh well...do my best to keep expenses down but got to expect it since RV is 15 years old with 53,000 on her. Greatful it didn't happen on a trip camping. Neighbor was pissed that I got out but doesn't know how. LOL!!! Anyway I shall have her back by middle of week and we have been prepping the driveway to welcome her with a new way in. Thanks again everyone.
