I (20f) recently bought a house. I noticed my house didn’t have a driveway and decided to get a yard survey done to see where I could put one in, if at all, since the houses are really close together.
During the survey, I learned that half of my neighbors 4 car driveway was mine, and started parking my car on my half of the driveway.
The neighbor came over and asked me what o was doing, and I explained that the survey showed half the driveway as mine. I also offered to show them the survey, which they refused.
They’re complaining that they used the driveway for 20+ years, and it’s still theirs as they’ve kept up the driveway and paving.
I told them maybe the previous owner never let them use it, but I don’t want my car on the street, especially when it snows.
I basically told them tough, and while it was unfortunate they didn’t know, I still fully intended on using it. This has made relationships really strained with my neighbor.
AITA for using my half of the driveway?
Edit: neighbors adult kids live there, so they have 4 cars
