Thanks I saw that advice and my reply was the property is currently vacant so the new incoming tenant will see these units already mounted on the wall and assume it's part of the deal. Legally, the units must be removed because they're on my side of the boundary but it's a civil matter so I...

An update on this. I arranged some quotes for the tenant of the factory to have the units relocated and this was his response: What do people think about this? Should I demand they be removed (and spoil neighbourly relations) or allow him to keep them there? How much do you think is a fair...

Thanks tigger and HandyAndy, I'll keep you posted to the outcome.

So I gotta pay for a hearing, a lawyer and an electrician to complete this process? Or does the loser have to pay these costs? And I'm out of pocket in the meantime?

Thanks, good post about infringing on my tenant's right to the property. However the current tenant is moving out soon so a new one will be moving in while these units are likely still in place. This place will be vacant for awhile though.. I've gotta re-stump the front 2 rooms, patch...

Ok it sounds like a VCAT thing. I'll read up on the process later but hopefully I can lodge a claim from o'seas. If I win, does the other party have to pay my costs? I can't believe I have to go through all this bollocks just to get their crap off my property. This stupid installation decision...

Ah ok so I shouldn't offer them the option to lease the space? Just tell them to get their stuff off my property within 30 days or else I'll do it for them? Thanks for the tip, I wouldn't expect they could claim my land as their own but it wouldn't surprise me with squatter rights etc.

How much will that cost? Once I have the judgement I can then remove the units without fear of legal repercussion that I'm stealing or vandalizing his air con units? Do you know the VCAT process? I'll pay you to do it. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Of course I'd never let someone take my space without prior permission and that's what this thread is about -- how do I rectify this situation? I thought you were telling CHAOS I shouldn't offer them to lease the space. Thanks, good point about not mentioning the roof to reposition them but...

Are you saying I shouldn't offer them the option to lease the space because it gives them more rights to access my property which can create further problems? Should I remove the option for them to lease the space and only request the units be removed within 30 days?

Council said it's illegal but they can't do anything because it's a civil matter. They said I have to go through VCAT and I would win but I'd still have to go through the whole rigmarole and pay legal fees etc. The problem is I live o'seas so it's a pain to attend to. If I was in Melbourne...

This sounds legit, I'll ask the Council if it's true. I assume the installer put them up. It's an IP so they must've entered the lane-way through the gate to install them. I'll check with the tenant if they asked permission to enter the property. Yes the brick wall is the boundary and...

Hmm if it was an overhanging tree branch I could remove it right?

My neighbour emailed me this pic of two split system compressor units overhanging my side lane-way. It belongs to the neighbour on the other side who owns the factory. You can see he's attached them to the side of his brick building but they're on my side of the boundary. Is this legal? Can I...
