I own a building and the owner of neighboring property will not allow any of my customers or employees of the park in my Parkin I bought a commercial building 2 years ago and one of the co-tenants wanted to buy the building with me, but I decided to buy it for myself to avoid problems on road. Well, when I bought the building that the tenant has started causing problems for me. He began by saying he wanted to expand its space so I made arrangements for him to develop, and when it came time for him to develop, he decided to revisit the whole deal. It upset me, but I forgive. Then it came time for him to renew his lease and refused to sign a new lease (but has continued to make his monthly payments) and finally moved. The drop of water and I need help is about one year, the city had a lot of interesting sections of land as they were selling silent auction, and one 20 feet. Strip property that separates my building parking lot east of the entrance to that parking was one of the pieces of land for sale, long story short I put in an offer and unknown to me and my now ex-tenant and he won. Now he is punishing me by not allowing one of my employees or tenants or one of our customers drive the field to park my car and if someone comes, he calls the police and he threatened me will sue. It is so bad that I used to have a dumpster in my car and he would not allow truck drivers to pass through his garbage out to retrieve the trash, so I was forced to get 10 garbage cans so I can move his property line to the ally for the recovery of waste. What can I do? Because it does not allow people cross his land to park in my parking space will not rent in my building. How can I win? He says he will sell the piece of property to me for three times as much as he paid for it, and he paid two times too expensive to start.
Is there access to your property than any other place on this band or are you a "locked" with this band being the only means of access? If you're landlocked, except for access during this plot one can not legally deny access. It is required by law to grant an easement. Consult a real estate attorney. I bet there are existing easements. To find out if there is an easement, down to the records room, the county clerk or wherever they file titles and watch your order form and sound. Do not just take his word for anything on the property. Go directly to the source. If there is an easement, it will be listed in the descriptive paragraph. Make a copy and shake it in her face as you do a victory dance at the crossing on his property, while ignoring the threats he might make. If there is no bondage and you're actually locked, that's where the lawyer arrives to take steps to force him to cede the right of way by the granting of the easement, which then gets entered into the property records. Your problem is that if you're not locked in this plot a single access, you're out of luck. If you have several access points available, you can not force one to surrender. If there is another access, wherever it is, you can not force this type of doing something and it is completely within his rights to refuse to allow people on his property.
Get a real estate lawyer. You can use the law of eminent domain to force it back to sell the land to you for the present value because it is necessary for your business. Your lawyer can tell you more.
You should consult a lawyer specializing in real estate. Since the input of your car through this land and perhaps for some time, you may be able to force an easement.
Go directly to court, he can not block access to your company. You can pick up an order of servitude, because the building was pre-existing access and therfore excluded in.
