My neighbour and I both own 1500 square feet plots, each facing a different road. However, there’s an extra 600 square feet of land between our plots that’s not accounted for in the official documents. I’ve built my house on my 1500 square feet and used a portion of the extra space for gardening and a small wooden room. Now, my neighbour is claiming this extra space belongs to him and wants me to demolish the room. He’s refusing to measure his property from the road, and won’t even consider sharing the disputed area. It feels like he’s trying to grab this extra land, especially since he’s a police officer and is pressuring me. What legal steps can I take to protect my property and address this situation?
You can file a civil suit for declaration of title and permanent injunction against your neighbour to establish your right to the disputed land. Since the land is not accounted for in official documents, you'll need to provide evidence, such as your gardening and construction activities, to show possession and usage. Consulting a lawyer is recommended for proper legal advice and representation in this matter.
