A man has given his new neighbour a bill for more than $500, for a fence built in 2005.
Shannon Spencer at first thought her neighbour was joking when he handed her a $500 bill Shannon Spencer moved to Yanchep in Perth, Australia, last February after building a home there.
Shannon told ABC Radio Perth: ‘It’s not a huge amount, but it’s just the fact that the fence has been there for 17 years and he’s held this receipt in his hand, this invoice in his hand… waiting for the perfect time to come and hand it over.’ At first Shannon thought it was a joke – but according to the Dividing Fences Act in Australia, property owners are required to share the costs of a ‘sufficient dividing fence’.
She added: ‘I know I’m legally required to pay for the fence, but I’m just disputing the fact that it’s been 17 years since it was built, and I moved 17 years later and he’s still asking for half of the cost of the fence.‘The fence is rusted, it’s a different colour to all the rest of the fences, it’s not even the same height, it’s only 1500mm high instead of 1800mm high.
