Do you know you can't plant a tree just outside the property boundary?
Under Section 1017 of the Civil Code, neighbors must refrain from planting trees in close proximity to the land boundary. The law establishes a simple rule:
🌳 Trees growing over 3 meters tall — must be at least 3 meters from the property boundary.
🌿 Other trees and shrubs — must be at least 1.5 meters from the border.
The goal is to prevent disputes between neighbors, for example due to shading, leaf fall or root overgrowth. If the planting is carried out in violation of these rules, the neighbor may claim the removal of the tree or its pruning.

The Supreme Court Just Refined the Rules of the Game for Landlords' Retention Law
According to the Supreme Court (26 Cdo 2057/2025), § 2234 o.z. must be interpreted as meaning that the lessor may retain only things owned by the lessee. No vendor refrigerators, no leasing machines, no third party goods.
Relationship between the main thing and its accessories
it is necessary, from the point of view of law, to differentiate separately from liability for defects of the purchased item, the defects of the main thing and the defects of its accessories, since, fundamentally, the main thing does not share the fate of its accessories. Thus, a defect in the accessories of a mobile phone (headphones, charging adapter) does not entitle you to withdraw from the purchase contract even in relation to the main thing (mobile phone), which in only one case manifested a defect, which was eliminated by repair, and then no further defect appeared on it. (Judgment of the Supreme Court of 30 September 2025, sp. n. 33 Cdo 2225/2023)
