[WSBARP] Responsibility for maintaining retaining wall on property line

[Mark McClure]

If there is no agreement and nothing discussed in an easement, the
responsibility would lie with the party whose property is about to trespass
on the other’s I would imagine.  :)

property line



Fellow listservees,



Wood retaining wall that is on the property line between two residential
properties is beginning to fail and lean toward the downhill property.  Is
it the sole responsibility of the owner of the uphill property to pay to
have the wall repaired or replaced or do the owners share responsibility as
they would with a fence?  Does it matter if the owner of the downhill
property was the owner of said property when the wall was installed while
the owner of the uphill property purchased the property after the wall was
installed by the previous owner?
