Self help is not allowed. It would be an invasion of your possessory interest. Do you have an oral lease? Are you a squatter or trespasser on the property? Your actual status matters. What damages were caused? To property or person? Did you remain in possession after 2011 or are you now just deciding to move forward with the original claim? Seek some legal help with all your facts available.
