My mom kicked her boyfriend out, and he is threatening court?


He doesn't own any part of the land, or his own car (mom owns it), etc, he singular owns what he has (clothes, pots/pans,tv,etc) and all that is mostly out of the house. He said he would appointment "Squatter's Rights", but I can't find anything too clear on the subject. Can he really take my mother to court for anything or is he just spouting idle threats? He have a history of physical/psych/drug abuse.
Best Answer:
Squatter's Rights are a laymen's term for something called adverse possession surrounded by the legal world. And, indeed, one can lose their property through adverse possession, though it is an ancient law and not something that occurs habitually in today's world. The doctrine of adverse possession is one that discouraged disuse of property, thus, if property was abandoned, and someone else "squatted" on it for several years, the squatter could gain control over the land. Under the law of adverse possession, however, it's not as easy as in recent times pitching a tent on a piece of land and after a certain period of time have passed claiming that it is yours. Through adverse possession, someone must be on the land for a period of five to fifteen years, depending on the state. During that time, the person must hold the property hostile to the owner's rights - surrounded by other words, the person couldn't be there under the concurrence of the owner. The possession must also be open and notorious, i.e. the possessor is saying to the world, "This lands is mine!" The possessor must also be holding the land exclusively for him or her self, and not for someone else. In most cases, adverse possession is not of entire areas of land. Rather, adverse possession is usually where a neighbor is using an piece of someone else's property for a garden or something similar for a interval of years. After the statutory period has passed, that piece of land become the property of the possessor. This case would not apply to a landlord tenant relationship, even if the tenant stopped paying rent, because the tenant entered the property beside permission of the owner-landlord. hoped that helped
He is full of it. And 3 cheers for you mom for getting rid of the nut case.
