Occupant not vacating my property and blackmailing
Hello,
I have a very old home in Tuticorin Tamil Nadu. I bought it in 1992 and let my mother,brothers and sisters live there without taking any rent.All my brothers and sisters got married and moved out except my last brother who stayed with my mother after marriage and took care of her.In 2010 my mother passed away.But my brother is occupying that home till now.He is neither paying rent nor vacating the house.I want to sell the house now but he is not vacating and blackmailing to go to court saying that there is a 12 year rule which says that if you live in a place for 12 years that place belongs to him.There is no rental agreement or anything of sort.My questions are
1.Can i claim rent and damages from 2010 till now?
2.By Browsing i understand if there is no legal agreement then it becomes a month to month lease and we need to give only a 15 days notice to vacate.Is that true?
3.Can he take my home using that 12 year rule if i go to court?
Thanks
Agnel
