Q: I'm trying to help my father in law. Question is in the more info because it's to long
I'm trying to help my father in law.
My father in law decided to help a homeless person by letting them stay on his property for a few months to get back on their feet. They asked if they could stay in a house on the property that had no water or sewer (which they knew about and agreed) but has access to a well outside and a outhouse. They agreed they then started using the property for their business so they came to an agreement of 500 a month for land rent. They have been their 6 years now and he wants them off his property because they have started threatening him, making him not feel safe, have unauthorized pets (8 cats and two dogs) have tried to build a shop with out permission, have over 20 cars, leaves the place a mess, putting a power pole without permission ect. How can he get them off his property?

A: Owner must hire a competent MT attorney file suit for Ejectment now. He might lose the property through adverse possession. He cannot do what he did with this occupant. He will have to prove title. If the SOL has not run he might sue for possession only, but 6 years is a long time. He will probably have to prove title which is difficult and expensive.
