The diagram is helpful. If you look at the lots in the diagram, A, B, and C, my house is like B. So owner of A cuts the lawn between A and B in back of the gate, which includes some of my property indicated by dashed line. I maintain the lawn in the front of the gate which includes some of the A lot. So the gate is 'shared' property? Who repairs it if a hinge or latch breaks? Or do the A and B owners share the expense?
