Favorable Ruling for Indian Landlords on Segregated Coal Lands
Poteau Oklahoma February 3 Indian landlord won a lien enforcement suit against a non citizen for rent on segregated coal land. An appeal reached the US court where Judge Clayton ruled that a rent contract with a non citizen allows lien enforcement when the Indian owns improvements and is scheduled by Interior Department agents. The decision aligns with Indian department rulings and authorizes ejectment on complaint of improvement owners if the non citizen refuses rental contracts. Rent collection may continue until improvements are paid for or lands are sold.
