Our home was built in 2005. The previous owner didn't do much to the home, we think it was their intention to flip it. We moved into the home March, 2007. Since we moved in, we've seen the neighbour a couple times and said "hi" but have never exchanged introductions or said anything beyond "Hello".
This weekend, my boyfriend was doing some work in the garage and the neighbour approached him, introduced himself and said that he had the bill for the fence that we share and would like to discuss the payment we owe him. Since we were also on our way out my boyfriend said that we would discuss the matter another time. He wants to tell this neighbour (politely) that because we were not owners of the home when the fence was built and were not involved in any agreements, he has no obligation to pay.
I don't want to make bad relations, this is our first home and we have absolutely no intentions of moving.
Are we obligated to pay for the fence? Any Canadian law that would make us liable?
