Q: (Is It A Hate Crime) If The Owner Breaks Into The Land That Is By Adverse Possession. And And Changes The Locks.

A: You have got to be kidding, right? First, a hate crime involves "race, color, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or national origin," and you mentioned none of the above. Second, if you are breaking and entering on the property of another, it is you who is: "damag[ing] the real or personal property of that person; (iii) defac[ing], damag[ing], or destroy[ing], attempt[ing] to deface, damage, or destroy the real or personal property of that person..." Third, as I think I've answered you before, adverse possession is a defense, not a claim. If you have possessed openly adversely continuously and hostilely for, in Maryland, 20 years. Then, when the owner tries to obtain court process to eject you, you have a defense. I didn't read it all the way through, but this looked like a good layman article. <https://www.heymanfirm.com/legal-resources/maryland-adverse-possession-quiet-title-lawyer/>. The only legal arguments I see from the limited facts you provided are: 1) self-help is prohibited in Maryland, so, if you became a tenant at sufferance, the title owner cannot remove you without court process; and 2) there has been a ban on evictions due to Covid for a while. If, however, you are merely a trespasser, the owner may protect his land without violence. To get to the details, you need to find the money for a consult with a lawyer to review the facts, but this shouldn't be a problem, since you've been poaching on someone else's land instead of paying rent. If you can't afford counsel, local law schools often have free landlord & tenant clinics.

Reading an answer on the Internet does not create an attorney-client relationship. You are represented by me when we have both signed a retainer agreement (on paper or electronically) and some money has changed hands. Usually, you will have been asked specific questions about your situation and all potential conflicts of interest will have been resolved. Until then, you have no more right to rely on this answer than if you read it in a novel.
