1. A is the owner of a land occupied by B.

B leased this land for 20 years and for the past 10 years
had continually paid A the rent. Sometime thereafter C claimed to be the owner of the land and
demanded from B payment of the rent. What is the remedy of B?

Answer:

The remedy of B is to file an action for interpleader since he does not know to whom payment
shall be made.

Under the Rules of Court, an interpleader is a special civil action whereby a person who claims no
interest in a property or right, or an interest which in whole or in part is not disputed by the
claimants, brings an action against the conflicting claimants to compel them to interplead and
litigate their several claims among themselves. This special civil action is used to avoid multiple
liability on the part of the obligor.

In this case, there are two conflicting claimants, A and C who are both claiming ownership over
the land which B is leasing. A and C will then be compelled to litigate their claims. This will then
avoid multiple liability on the part of the obligor.

Hence, B’s remedy is to file an action for interpleader.
