Linden Lab Official:I'm experiencing parcel encroachment. How do I get the offender to move the unwanted object?

"Parcel encroachment" is our term for something that can take a few different forms:

• When objects from a neighbor's land overlap or overhang onto your land.
• Someone leaves a car or other objects on your land.
• Governor Linden has land nearby that is filled with litter.

When objects or trees overlap onto your property, the first thing you should try is to contact your neighbor and inform them that their build or tree is overhanging onto your land. Your neighbor probably doesn't realize that they've gone over the property line, and should move or remove the overhanging items.

If someone has left a car or other objects on your land, you should try the following things:

• Right-click it and select More > Return.
• Contact the object owner about removing it.
• You can also return objects by selecting World > About Land and clicking the Objects tab. Click Refresh List, select the Resident's name, and click Return Objects.

You also have the ability to stop objects from entering your land by unchecking the Create Objects and Object Entry checkboxes for All Residents in the About Land window's Options tab. By selecting only the Group checkbox or deselecting both, an object's owner gets a message like "Can't move object 'House' to { 11.5198, 217.779, 22.3401 } in region Levenhall because the parcel does not allow objects to enter."

For Governor Linden land where there doesn't appear to be any autoreturn set, please submit a support ticket informing us of the situation.

If none of the above solutions work, send an abuse report by selecting Help > Report Abuse. As always, help us help you by letting us know all about it in detail.
