| My aunt had me install drainage pipe in her 29 acre farm about 7 years ago. The farm didn’t have a place for an outlet so my cousin (Aunt’s son) asked the farmer across the road if we could install a pipe about 300 feet long across his land to get an outlet. . The farmer verbally agreed to let us install the tile main on him. It was all a verbal agreement.
At the time the farmer across the road farmed my aunt’s land. About a year and half ago my aunt decided to rent her farm to me. The farmer across the road has been upset ever since and has written my aunt several times upset about things and it gets her upset. My cousin sent him a certified letter that all further correspondence must go through my cousin as the farm manager, not my aunt.
He sent my 78 year old Aunt a letter yesterday that he wants $750 a year from now on for the use of his land for the tile main or he will plug it up or tear it out.
What is the law on something like this? Is a verbal agreement an agreement?
