The neighbor's tree has grown into my yard. Can I cut it off?

1, the neighbor's tree grows in your yard:

(1) If it affects your home, it is an infringement of neighboring rights.

(2) Your right is that you can ask the other party to stop the infringement and cut off the branches that extend into your yard. If the extended branches cause losses to your home, you can also claim compensation.

(3) The above requirements: You can negotiate with your neighbors first. If negotiation fails, you can bring a lawsuit to the court for settlement.

The basis is: Article 1 10 of the Supreme People's Court's Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Implementation of General Principles of Civil Law: "If an adjacent party digs ditches, pools, cellars, etc. on the land it uses, or the roots and branches of bamboo and wood planted extend, which endangers the safety and normal use of the other party's building, it shall be ordered to eliminate the danger, restore the original state and compensate for the losses according to different situations."

2. "Can I cut it":

(1) If it endangers the safety of your house or wall, you have the right to ask the other party to handle it. If the other party doesn't cut it, you can cut it yourself.

(2) However, after you cut it, it is easy to cause disputes. At this time, it is your responsibility to prove that the extended branches endanger the safety of your house or wall. If you can't produce evidence, you will be responsible for compensating for the loss of cutting down trees. Therefore, it is recommended not to cut it yourself first, or to negotiate with the other party and go to court for prosecution before cutting it.

3. "What will happen if it is cut down": If you have no evidence to prove that this tree endangers the safety of your house or wall, you may be responsible for compensating the other party for the loss.
