You will need to hire an AL attorney to file a Declaratory Judgment suit, and possible injunction. It is not cheap nor easy. You need to gather witnesses now. Otherwise your easement will be terminated.
6 weeks later they come back and said they sent the message to the wrong person. We have been trying to get him out of the lease since he no longer goes there. Can they do that?

An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. At this point, you could reach out to landlord-tenant attorneys in your state who have some familiarity with campus housing settings, or repost and include the "Landlord-Tenant" category. Good luck

My neighbor has a fence and his grandkids are parking past the fence which is the property line out in front of my house.

As long as they are parked ON YOUR PROPERTY and not on a public roadway, you can refuse to allow them to park. But you don’t own a public roadway even if it is in front of your house.

I have no problem with him building a house on the land but I want my name to remain on the deeds.
answered on Jun 30, 2023

The heir of the deceased is also deceased, the 2nd deceased heirs said that we could purchase the land with an Heirs Deed, what is an Heirs Deed and is it guaranteed, what should be our worries
answered on Mar 22, 2021
Hire a competent attorney to determine Heirship and draft an Affidavit of Heirship and a Deed for the Heirs to convey. A Warranty Deed might help you, but a good lawyer looking at the title and boundaries now is what you really need.
