Putting up a fence is a bit of a deal in my town. Must be one foot in from your property line, finished side facing out, and height regulations (3-6 ft) based on where it is and what it faces. Hey, fences are expensive- why do this for someone elses property? Get rent breaks for mowing the lawn not construction. You are already paying off this guy's mortgage loan.
Also, make sure the fence wont cast more shade than the clothes line anyway.
Taking out a rotating clothes line sunk in cement is at least some form of big ass pain. (I took one out, After digging an 8 ft deep hole, I had to hire a tow truck to pull it out into the alley like a snaggly tooth)
That said, I feel your herb desires. you need sun - you could fill a couple of good draining containers and put them in the wide open wherever. Or you could go for window boxes. or dig up the front yard if there is one. Tell the landlord youre "landscaping".

hmmmm....Some good points. I live in a little mountain town that is extremely hilly and the property lines were drawn and then re-drawn in the early 1900's. Some friends of mine here discovered that their bathroom is actually on their neighbor's property! I don't think anyone much cares about fences, though. This town is still pretty wild west when it comes to zoning codes!
