encroachment

Read a random definition: umpirage

A quick definition of encroachment:

Encroachment: When someone builds something on someone else's property without permission, it's called an encroachment. This can be a building, a fence, or even a tree. To fix the problem, the two neighbors can talk and come up with a solution, or they might need to go to court to get help.

A more thorough explanation:

An encroachment is when someone builds or plants something on their neighbor's property without permission. This can include things like a fence, a tree, or a garden. It can also happen if someone digs underground and goes onto their neighbor's property.

For example, if your neighbor builds a shed that is partly on your property, that is an encroachment. Or if they plant a tree that grows over the property line and onto your land, that is also an encroachment.

If there is an encroachment, there are different ways to solve the problem. You can talk to your neighbor and try to work out a solution. You could sell them the land where the encroachment is happening. Or you could give them permission to use that part of your property by granting them an easement. If none of those options work, you could go to court and ask for an injunction to make them remove the encroachment.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
