I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

neighbor's tree damaging my property. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 8 years. My monthly rent is $4,235. I have a written lease.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
