March 23, 2025 at 11:09 pmThere are chances that the landlord has learnt about what adverse possession is, understood is wrong, become paranoid and that has made them act this way.I say this because of the timing. 11 years in the dot.
12th year is where the limitation for such a claim would apply.
However, this is stupid because if you’ve been paying the rent all the while, you definitely can’t claim possession of that property, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some armchair lawyer has told them that it is possible and they’re trying to get you to vacate.
Here’s what you do, you keep a track of every attempt you made at paying the rent. That’s it. There won’t be any sort of a legal proceeding against you anyway, no cause of action exists rn.
Don’t get into any sort of a dispute, since I don’t think it is worth your while.
Look for a place in the next couple of months and move. It’ll be hassle-free and best for you and your family.
