As usual, common sense should prevail, but commonly, doesn't. I own two villa rentals, one a courtyard and the other a patio villa.
My patio villa neighbor doesn't do squat about controlling the bushes on the side of my house so that the meter reader can at least get access. It's all up to me. I just do what's necessary, as needed. Its also a rental and there is no gate, so I don't even bother asking.
With the Courtyard villa, it's a little tougher, since there's a gate, and you really ought to ask before charging through a gate into someone's back yard. But fortunately, they do a pretty good job of taking care of it.
I just wish I could get the crew on the other side to quit letting their dog poop on my rocks next to the gate on my side of the house. I periodically put a game camera there, and they'll quit for a while, once they notice they're being recorded. I guess with some people, that's about the best you can do, unless you're ready to create an enemy who lives next door.
