If this occurs, then you can begin the works as agreed.<\/p><p>However, if the other person objects to any aspect of the idea, you should submit a written notice. This formal document sets out a proposal for the construction of the new <a href=\"\/boundary-fencing\/\">boundary fence<\/a>, including the type of fence, location, choice of contractor, and total installation cost. You should also include at least two quotes from different contractors.<\/p><p>From there, the other party will have a set number of days to respond. The response time may differ for each state and territory. If they fail to respond within the set response time, you can proceed with the works and seek reimbursement through the relevant courts.<\/p><p><strong>For further advice on who should pay for boundary fencing, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/dunnandfarrugia.com.au\/contact-us\/\"><strong>contact Dunn &amp; Farrugia today<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d93b139 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d93b139\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:&quot;100&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Who pays for a dividing fence?\n<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b4de14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b4de14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Generally speaking, the owners of two adjoining lands must pay equal share to the construction and ongoing care of a sufficient dividing fence.<\/p><p>What is considered \u2018sufficient\u2019? There are many factors to determine what a sufficient dividing fence is. These include height, type of fence, quality of materials, privacy, security, and the way in which both neighbours use the land. Your state or territory authority and local council guidelines may also have their own definition too. Refer to them for further clarification.<\/p><p>However, if one person wants a dividing fence that is of a higher standard than a \u2018sufficient\u2019 dividing fence \u2013 for example, a fence that is taller or made of more expensive materials \u2013 then that person should pay the difference in cost between a sufficient dividing fence and a higher standard.<\/p><p>Another thing. If the dividing fence is built outside the common boundary line \u2013 for example, it sits further in on one piece of adjoining land than the other \u2013 this may also influence how the cost of installation is split between two neighbours.<\/p><p>If an agreement cannot be made on who pays for the new fence, then a court must decide on the issue. Obviously, it\u2019s always best to reach a fair agreement on your own terms, without involving the legal system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3adefb1 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3adefb1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:&quot;100&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tenants and landlords\n\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eed32c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eed32c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the case of tenants and landlords, a residential tenant is not required to contribute to the cost of installation and repairs for a dividing fence.
