Statutes, such as the one you mentioned establish baselines. They are further defined by case law; therefore, you will be well-served by employing a real estate attorney to assess your individual circumstances in order to determine how the existing law impacts you. Please feel free to call me in the event that you wish to pursue this.

You may be better off clearly stating your situation, rather than trying to get someone to explain statute to you. If the dispute is significent, you probably need a real estate lawyer - that is a lawyer who primarily practices real estate law and not someone who simply takes a case in any area.
