Two neighbours live in a pair of flats (like a converted house). Two flats only. Two neighbours only. I'll call them Up and Down.
Up has access to a private yard to the right of the property. Down has access to a separate private yard to the left of the property.
Down has windows which overlook both their own and Ups yard. Ups windows overlook both as well but from above.
Up has repainted their yard, it was white along outer walls previously which have been repainted white, but in addition, Up has painted the walls which belong to Down. So outer walls of Downs property, meaning all walls facing into their yard are now white.
Up thinks this is reasonable as Down cannot see these walls, cannot access them without permission of Up, and the paint is an improvement.
Down thinks this is unreasonable as the walls do not belong to Up and to do so was not on, and that Up should pay to have the walls stripped of paint.
So....who is right in this situation?
YABU - Down is correct, paint should be removed
YANBU - Up is correct, paint should stay
