In the neighbour's garden, there was a garage right next to my great-aunt's garage before the conversion. When the garage in the neighbour's garden was demolished (by the neighbour's contractor), the gutter of my great-aunt's garage was destroyed. It was then neatly replaced.\n\n Ask: \nMy great aunt's neighbors now want €600 to replace that gutter. According to my basic legal knowledge this seems unlawful to me since the contractor is liable in this case and the neighbors are secondarily liable. I would like your opinion\/advice.\n\n Yours sincerely\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n This is correct. Damage caused by the contractor must be recovered from him. However, it is true that if it concerns a joint gutter, after permission has been given to demolish the gutter, both parties must contribute to the costs. It must concern reasonable damage.\n\n For more information or assistance, please feel free to contact me directly and without obligation.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55004557050205,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-62068-geachte-lezer-mijn-oudtante-woonachting-in-zandvoort-heeft-sinds-kort-nieuwe-buren-die-zijn-gaan-v","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
