I wouldn't think he wants paying to deal with it - he just wants to be sure that "someone" other than him deals with it and I can sympathise with that (because its not fair to expect someone to have to do "your work" for them for nothing).

Apart from the fact he asked the OP how much he'd pay him to do it?!

Jesus Christ, have a day off Money.

Some offensive language there I would say ....just a thought...

Sounds silly but he isn't someone who I would want to go round too seeing as I have to go through the house (dodgy past including house breaking!)

I wouldn't let your dodgy past influence this. Every day is a fresh start, you know!

He's trying it on, as you have no real responsibility for his side of the hedge, or direct access to it. He is benefiting from the privacy & security the hedge supplies, so he should man-up and sort it himself. Keeping the hedge to a reasonable height is your responsibility though, because you can control that from your garden.

In my last garden I had 8 neighbours who shared hedges with me, plus a section abutting a shared access way. Just imagine the fun I'd have had arranging with all those people to cut their sides, not to mention the arguments I might have had with two of them, where it wasn't clear who owned the blooming hedge!

Life's too short to worry about guys like him. If you cut it this year, or pay for it to be cut, he'll enjoy the feeling of control this gives.....and he'll be back.

i think he is seeing £££ signs in that in order for him to cut your landlords hedge he wants paying for every time he does it so he'll do it every week to maintain it for a fee is suspect.

i would pass the concerns onto the landlord and let the LL do the communicating with him, ask the LL if its ok to pass on a telephone number to the person concerned.

and leave it at that.
