My family and I have rented our house for more than sixty years, and it’s no secret that the landlord wants us out so that he can sell the property. Our neighbour has now taken over part of my garden, but my landlord isn’t interested. What can I do? I’m on income support so I’ve no money to fight the case.
Your landlord should be interested because your neighbour could claim the land as his own eventually if no-one registers an objection. This is quite possible if the property isn’t registered at the Land Registry but if that doesn’t stir the landlord into action, perhaps you should request a deduction from your rent since you have lost an amenity part of your garden which you have previously enjoyed.
