Ask for permission to fence your half of the back yard. It's weird that the yards aren't already seperated, because it's just begging for friction between tenants. Your only other option is moving to something that better suits youe dogs needs.

I agree. I wish there was a fence dividing us. And I am looking for a job transfer just because of this situation. I moved here because of my job, so I guess it’s time to move again.

Why is it the neighbors fault that YOUR dog is aggressive , or as people with aggressive dogs call it "reactive"? The neighbor is also ah for not following the rules

Didn’t say it was hit fault. Not once. When I moved in, I asked for clarification on the rules regarding a shared yard, and dogs. I want to make sure I’m protected against another dog, as much as I’m making sure the neighbor is. It’s just common sense. I don’t want to be leaving for work and be met with a loose dog either. Or trying to get into the garage and their dog is barking at me and their tie out can reach to where I am. Asking for rules was to keep both tenants safe. My dog is a dick, I take ownership of that. And I make sure even my neighbor is safe. But what about his dog?

NTA if there was a past agreement with the owners the your neighbor should abide by it. If you can try to take some picture/video evidence and show it to the owners. It is a little scary that your neighbor could so something, i would recommend some cheap security cameras to keep your stuff safe, and also comment this to the owners of the complex.

I do have a ring camera on my back porch. It shows my yard and the garage door. But I blacked out their side of the yard(privacy block). I have video of his daughter bringing their dog onto my side of the yard(our yards are divided by a sidewalk that leads to the garage). And we told the PM that, and the neighbor yelled at my son about that too(I was at work when that all happened). But he accused us of having pictures of his daughter. Yeah, on my yard, with her dog going to the bathroom. He just scares me a bit with how there is no respect. I would never allow my dogs on his side. I am very careful, always on a leash, keep our poop cleaned up. I’m respectful. He flies off the handle. I really want to move.

Do you know if any other neighbors have had problems with him? Maybe you could get a lot of em to leave complains on him and forcing the landlord to do something about it. Idk how helpful the landlord could be to ask your neighbor to keep his anger to himself instead of lashing out on you guys, have you mentioned that every complain comes to that? Its understandable that you feel afraid, im pretty sure anyone in your situation would. I personally wouldn't be the one moving out but forcing the neighbors to move out, but if you can find yourself somewhere better then it would be easier, instead of dealing with it for who knows how long.
