I wonder why we haven't heard anything From Bob and Susan? they live right in sight of this Beach. I hope they are OK. My guess is Bob will know more about this but it could be that he shold sty silent.

do you really think the laws you posted apply in this case or were you posting them for some other thread:lol:



Well, for one thing, you just changed the criteria. In the case which is the subject of this thread, the landowner was no longer renting the land to those who possessed it, in fact, it may not even be the same land owner. For seconds, there probably was no written lease, just a handshake deal with monthly payments. And for thirds, I would like you to be a good fellow and post the source of your information, chapter and verse, just like I did for you.

Unless, of course, that is just some BS?


so your interruption of the law is anyone renting a house for five years and stays on good terms with there land lord gets to keep the house:lol:


Bruce,

It is well known that the laws vary but allow for mexican people to squat and over time maintain rights. This is apparent as very powerful mexican people can not get people off of the land that was previously theirs. For example, in La Paz the owner's of CCC have tons of property they can not reclaim because squatters can prove they have been there for some period, either 5 years or more. They do not have utilities nor pay rent or taxes and their is no way to legally remove them. They have even been offered complete homes with doors and windows in trade in regions away from the ones they are squatting on. They refuse since they prefer to be near the water in el centro where they can live off fish and handouts.

This presents serious problems since they will never improve their property, nor pay for utilities or pay taxes yet they remain. There are even people who squatted in the street blocking the road but they can not be removed by even the most powerful people.

Those are the facts which have historical origins, not unlike the USA where a person can pay property for 5 years and claim any property they access. For example a person may use an easement over your land and in short-time you will lose it. This is the law and has a powerful history in Mexico and California for good reason I am sure.

In fact where I live many people have followed the history you describe, they rented shacks when people left, those people haven't returned and now 5 and ten years later the renters have title to their property simply by possession and payment of utilities and taxes. This is why people must maintain their historical utility receipts in mexico they are very important and powerful.

Consider that you might be unaware of Mexico's historical land rights which by the way are written about often in reference to conflicts, such as the one we are discussing now.

Taxes??? You're kidding, right?

I'd be willing to bet there were NO valid leases...ever. None legally drawn, or recorded, or taxes paid on rental income, or legal receipts (facturas) given. Legally, these renters weren't renters...but squatters.

In any case it really doesn't matter...

'Cause they're gringos. ;D
