Letting agent claims fence is mine, not theirs?

Hello OP
Fence usually belongs to who paid for it, deeds may say who is responsible for maintaining the boundary but that can be done with sticks and string.Occasionally they may state a fence or similar is to be maintained.
Without the deeds stating there must be a fence, even if the old fence belonged to the landlord they unlikely have any obligation to repair or replace, other than a desire to keep their tenants happy.If you need a fence to keep dogs in then it’s best to sort something to keep them in, otherwise it’s probably between your neighbour and their landlord.In the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces0
