Q: If a horse boarder invests a large amount of money into building tack lockers in a barn, do they have to be left by law?
The tack lockers were built, and fastened into the wall at a boarding facility with the verbal agreement that the owner of the property would pay for materials. Of course now he claims he never said that. He claims that if they try to take them down when leaving that they are now part of the property, and he will be calling the state police. There currently is no written boarding agreement.
A: Get a lawyer. Ask him about filing a mechanic & materialmen's lien on the property. Take all your receipts for materials. You should also file suit for breach of contract and fraud around the same time. Good luck.
