Imagine a man who’s lived underground for three decades, suddenly finding out the land he’s on is now valuable. A landowner wants him to move, but the man insists on being paid for his years there. What should he do?

This situation is complex and likely involves both land ownership and adverse possession laws. The man should consult a lawyer to understand his rights. He may have a claim to the land based on adverse possession, but proving this requires meeting specific legal criteria.
