I currently live in a rented single-family house. The plot next door is undeveloped, but there are currently plans to develop it. The brick garage stands exactly on the property boundary and is not basemented. The neighbor plans to build with a basement directly on the boundary and had also hired a specialized company accordingly. They wanted to start last week. However, when they arrived, they saw two cracks in the garage and said that it was too dangerous for them and that they would not build a basement here. Subsequently, the neighbor brought my landlord and they discussed whether it was a "settlement crack" or "something serious." Apparently, there was also an employee from a civil engineering company present who is "on first-name terms" with our landlord and said that this was no problem at all and that they could safely add a basement there. The result now seems to be that the neighbor is shortening the basement by 2 meters (the house will still remain on the boundary) in order not to have to dig deeply directly on the property boundary. Should I just sit back and watch what happens? After all, I am not really allowed to do anything?

That's right. It's actually none of your business what happens next door.
If the rented garage can no longer be used for any reason, it is the landlord's responsibility.

Is this a semi-detached house or a terraced house?

The thing about setting back the basement by 2 meters was told to me by the neighbors who are resubmitting the building application.

Then I will wait and see what happens.


Neither, it is a detached house. But mine also stands directly on the boundary to the other neighbor, or rather all the houses on the street stand directly on the boundary on one side and connect there to the neighbor’s garage.

As a tenant, you couldn't care less about what happens to the garage. Since the landlord has spoken with the excavation workers next door, he definitely knows about the construction project and can occasionally inspect his properties for their condition. In the worst case, the garage collapses while your car is inside. Then there will be a nice legal dispute.

Brief update for those who are interested:

The neighbors have now started building a retaining wall(?) on their own. I have, just to be safe, taken photos of the things that are in the garage.
