On our common boundary there are two stand alone garages build to be used by tenants of an older run down apartment block of 6 units. The tenants have change a lot over the years.
I have not seen the property owner on site for at least 20 years, rely on a real estate agent to tenant and maintain the property.
I have been using one of the garages to store stuff for 15 years. I have a lock on the roller shutter door so no one else can use it.
I could access the garage from my property if I knocked an opening in the common wall.
Currently there is an old car in the garage which I have been informed is owned by the apartment block owners. I am in the state of Vic
Can I rely on adverse possession legislation to claim this garage (1 of 2)?
Do I need to remove the old car, does its presence influence my claim?
