[QUOTE="4hfarms, post: 1652936, member: 39740"] I tried to rent out 30ac of mine. I didn't live in the state at the time. I let the man graze his cows until I moved to the area. Was years b4 I could get to live here. So he had control of my property. My requirements for him were to keep the fences repaird and pasture clear of debris. No cutting of standing timber.....Sounded simple. We would drive up for vacation a few times a year to work on the house during the years of home repair to make it habitable. The last few times we saw saw the property we were appalled. The fences were broken, cut, down in several areas. Dead cow from months ago decomposing in the field. Cut trees crushing the fences. His personal garbage from his home in piles in the back of trees beyond the pasture... This was a gentleman's agreement with a firm handshake. We agreed on no rent, for keeping up the property. When he started removing what was left of our fences, we had enough! Went to the sheriffs and they told us it's our fault and there is nothing we could do. It took me almost a year to remove him from our property. I had to rebuild all the fence and take pictures with a date on it to keep his cows off our land. We were told, If they were cut or removed after the dated picture, then we could get help. We did see them grazing again after the fence was repaired and was told just fix the fence again... The fact he cut them all didn't matter until I had proof that he damaged them. And still had no recourse. [/QUOTE]
