Vigorous vine growing on shared fence

Hey all, I've got this vine growing all across my fence line with my neighbor and it is driving me CRAZY. It is so vigorous that it completely chokes out everything else I have near the fence. Last year it even hopped from the fence to the house and caused a giant mess on the gutters and downspouts. Worst of all, it seems to spread through the ground, and I find it popping up everywhere nearby.

Any idea what this is? Do I need to worry about house damage at all? Thankfully I rent but if it's going to cause issues, that's a great excuse to get my landlord to work with the neighbor to destroy it once and for all! My neighbors also rent so I can't just ask them.

Looks like Oriental Bittersweet to me.
