LANDLORD AND TENANT -ADVERSE POSSESSION AND PRESCRIPTION-BASED ON HOLDING AND USER BY TENANT

Authors

Abstract

A tenant who enters under a valid lease can, if he denies his landlord's title, and holds openly, notoriously, and adversely to him for the statutory period, acquire title by adverse possession. But suppose the tenant enters under a void lease and holds for the statutory period, claiming merely under the lease. It seems that there are three possible views as to the legal effect of his holding.
