My neighbours trees are pushing against the fence and have damaged it. I have asked that they either cut the trees down or trim. They will not agree and wish to only pay for half of the repair cost. What are my rights?

You would be required under the Act to contribute to half the cost of the repairs to the fence. If you refuse to pay your neighbour may seek a court order. For more information on tree nuisance, such as tree roots and overhanging branches visit www.legalaid.wa.gov.au
