Do utility companies have the right use your land without permission?

As said- it depends on the laws where you are, but in some cases, yes. The concept is "Eminent Domain"- where something is done for the greater good of the community. And providing utilities- gas, water, phone, electricity- is considered in the public good. Utilities have the right to cross your property to install and operate those utilities. If their actions reduce the value of your property, or prevent the use of part of it, they are required to pay you for your loss.

No, a former tenant cannot be considered as still living in the rental unit if they only occasionally come over and avail themselves of the utilities.

Occasional use of utilities without residing there does not meet that criteria.

It depends on how your property was subdivided and sold.

As such you you not be directly paying taxes on the property subject to the right of way. In other cases your property abuts or is adjacent to the right of way but you do not own it. You can not acquire public land through adverse possession in most states.

If you paid the delinquent property taxes on another person's property can you file a lien against it to recover your expenditure when the property is sold?

YES BUT YOU SHOULD DO IT RIGHT AFTER YOU PAY THE TAXES. * No. The party who paid the delinquent taxes has no legal rights to the property. You cannot automatically place a lien against property other than that of a Mechanic's Lien. The paying of the taxes would be considered a loan, the only option for recovery of the monies if the property owner did not voluntarily repay the amount would be to sue the party in the appropriate state court.

What is the right way to put a lien on a person's property that has a court order to pay you restitution of 50000 dollars?

The attorney that helped you get a court order should be able to place a lien and/or judgement against the people and the property for you. If one didn't help, then find one that will place it for you. Depending on the state you are in, there is a max $ amount that an individual can file against another individual without the help of an attorney (civil judgement). Anything over that amount, an attorney has to/should to do the filing to insure it is done right. * If the person has received a judgment against the debtor they file the judgment with the clerk of the court as a lien against real lproperty and then have the lien recorded at the land recoreder or assessors office in the city or county where the property is lccated.
