In that case, the landlord may be able to invoke the so-called acquisitive prescription of ownership.\n\n You are a tenant, and therefore you can only claim acquisitive prescription through your landlord. Therefore, I advise you to inform your landlord that the land may have become their property and that you want them to notify the municipality so you can continue to use the garden.\n\n The landlord apparently rented you the house and garden without mentioning that part of it belonged to the municipality. If the municipality can still claim part of the garden, you can reclaim part of the rent from the landlord now that they've rented you a larger plot.\n\n By the way, you indicate that these are just rumors. Perhaps you could inquire with the municipality yourself about their plans.\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e \nThank you for your response, I will contact the housing association.\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302529839453,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-12691-wij-wonen-ruim-7-jaar-in-een-huurhuis-met-een-achtertuin-van-18-meter-die-grenst-aan-een-sloot","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
