Q: We rented a house on 12 acres. Then we found out after we moved in that it isnt 12 acres, it's really 1.5 acres.
The landlord comes & goes on our property as he pleases along with his workers. He split up the 12 acres that we rented 4 months after we moved in & started building houses.
A: If you really feel the Contract is to Lease 12 acres, then sue for Breach of Contract. But I doubt you have any damages, and probably do not want to move out yet. Also you do not want to pay for 10 acres you are not using if that is what the Lease is about. You probably are not paying to use 12 acres but only a residence and have no case. The real Case would emerge if you were farming those 10 acres.
