Question
The homeowner rents out two apartments, and there is a metal fence between us. We would like to know who owns the fence and who is responsible for its maintenance?
Answer
The details are not sufficiently clear to me regarding the ownership and the required maintenance. However, in principle, you both are partners in the right to use the fence and in the responsibilities for its maintenance, if it is imposed on the tenants.
