The bamboo is located on my property but the runners are going into my neighbors yard and coming up as shoots in her yard. She has requested that I pay to install a metal containment around the bamboo. Can they require me to pay for this remedy? Can they cut down the bamboo in my yard?

Check with your city administrator to see if there is a bamboo ordinace. Some places have such an ordinance (rare), but many places do not. Unless there is a specific regulation that applies you do not have to but down your tree or pay to improve somone else's property. Good luck to you.
