If a land is surveyed wrong and utility lines and construction takes place, what can be done and who is liable

You need to get a second opinion from a different licensed professional surveyor. Until you have certification from another licensed professional surveyor, you cannot be sure that the first surveyor made a mistake. Even if there was a mistake made, it may be possible to get a variance from the local governing authority, in order to avoid having to move the improvements that have been built.

Get a property map from the county first of all.  Approach whomever is using the easement with proof of the boundaries and request that they cease activity on the easement.\n\nIf they refuse, your next course of action would have to be through the legal system, whether it be contacting police or county officials (depending on "who" is using it and for what), or through the court system.

Sure, just watch out for buried service lines like gas and electric.

I would talk to a lawyer to discuss your options. There might be a chance the landlord is found guilty of negligence.

Depends on the contract between you and the builder.  Generally, the builder is liable for any faulty workmanship, but the liability can be yours too if you don't properly protect yourself against it.  I know that as a new business it's hard to afford some of the precautionary methods, but if the builder you're working with is a concern for you, you should get a lawyer to discuss these issues before they manifest themselves into an actual suit.

A court will have to decide the issue if the parties refuse to settle the issue between themselves.\n\nGenerally, in order to prevail, a complainant has to prove the respondent was negligent.\n\nIt would seem to me that the parties should discuss the issue with each other, and if they cannot agree, engage a disinterested third party and present their cases to hiim/her. He/she will probably provide the same answer as a court.\n\nIt will save everyone a lot of time, money & aggravation.\n\nAnd, either relocate the offending tree or cut it down to avoid future disputes.\n\nHowever, if insurance companies are involved and are pursuing the matter, it is irrelevant what the parties do.\n\nGood luck.

You need to call the building or housing inspector who will come out there, take a look at it and order your landlord to make repairs if necessary.  \n\nSmall claims court and lawyers have nothing to do with this.

The laws vary from state to state regarding you rights when someone trespasses on your land and damages your property.  You mentioned "Timber Trespass" laws.  This law may be unique to your state and you can't really ask people to interpret laws they haven't even read.  Your rights in this situation depend on what laws in your state say, so you should consult an attorney in your area.

Is the tree on your property or theirs?  If it is on their property and you can prove that they were negligent in the maintence of the tree, you may be able to recover.  However, if the tree is in your yard, the courts will probably find contributory negligence and you won't have a claim

Be very careful on land contracts-they are tricky.  I would make sure that you have a really good lawyer and ALWAYS make sure that the owner is using legal contracts that are supplied by the local board of realtors.  You also need to check and make sure there are no liens on the property against the owner-especially if it is new there could be construction liens if contractors weren't paid properly.

Things to consider. Sometimes the land maybe behind other land(owned by someone else)you need to make sure you also get access to your land. How close is power lines to your land (the power company might charge you the cost if the main is far away and they have to do extra. What about water, do you need to drill a well? sometimes water back East can be real rusty,orhave a bad sulphur smell Or if you are Out West does water rights come with the land or do you have buy them. Does the land have good drainage? Are the taxes paid up (if you buy it you become responsable for any back taxes).

If you can prove that they are not actually doing pipe repair then you'd have a case.  Most states have good renter's rights laws.

Better have a contractor look at your situation.  How high is the water table where you live?  Etc.

Highly unlikely, but also depends on city and or state landlord tenant laws where you live.  If you truly feel wronged by the situation I would address the landlord directly about the issue.  Although, in most cases the laws favor the landlord so you have to determine whether or not you really feel he was liable and negligible in the situation.

I would say that it falls under your responsibility ..\nbut the fact that it was during a storm or weather event.. the 'act of God' provision may apply.. if it is a major expense or you are not in good standing with your insurance company.. ask about this possibility ..\nif it is a minor little thing .. pay out of pocket and work out a way not to get the insurance company involved... why have to be concerned with the whole complicated process of appraisals and deductibles and the typical long drawn out paperwork process.. and the potential for it to affect any type of relationship you may have.. I wouldn't make a big issue out of it.. \nThe exact same thing happened to me.. his tree .. my fence ..\nmy neighbor has health issues and after speaking with him.. he paid for the material and I repaired the fence for a weekend project.. problem resolved. No insurance company to deal with.. no strained relations
