Who pays when a fence breaks?

Here is an MS Paint of the fence to make it clear.

[True]

just put up a broken door or something for the time being. Something really offensive to look at

It's about 24 feet of an opening, and in the very back of the yard. I didn't even notice it until today.

Whos property is it on? Who paid for it to begin with?

[/ QUOTE ]

It was put up by the homeowners association before the property was sold. It is on the dividing line. Every house here has its backyard split by fences. It is not clear who "owns" it.

Time to talk to the homeowners association. Tell them their fence fell down.

[neuroman]

Split the cost, but the one with the "nice" side pays more, maybe 60/40.

edit: actually, Oski above me has the right solution. Get your worthless POS homeowner's association to fix it.

(sorry, I really hate HOAs.)
