XI. PROPERTY LAW
A. ARMED FORCES PERSONNEL. Any person in the armed forces of the United States government during the existence of a state of war between the United States and any other nation may, at any time within one (1) year after the end of the state of war and six (6) months thereafter, maintain a suit for the collection of any debt or the recovery of any real or personal property to which the person may be entitled if the statute of limitations had not run against the action prior to the person’s entry into the armed forces. A.C.A. § 16-56-118(b).
B. LEASES.
1. Arrearages of rent. All actions for arrearages in rent not reserved by some instrument in writing, under seal, shall be commenced within three (3) years after the cause of action accrues. A.C.A. § 16-56-105(2).
2. Default under a lease contract. Any action for default under a lease contract, including breach of warranty or indemnity, must be commenced within four (4) years after the cause of action accrued. The parties, through the original lease contract, may reduce this period to not less than one year. If an action commenced within this time limit is terminated so as to leave available a remedy by another action for the same default or breach of warranty or indemnity, the other action may be commenced after the expiration of the time limit above and within six (6) months after the termination of the first action unless the termination resulted from voluntary discontinuance or from dismissal for failure or neglect to prosecute. A.C.A. § 4-2A-506.
3. Oral leases for farm lands. The owner of farm lands which are leased under an oral agreement may elect not to renew the oral rental or lease agreements for the following calendar year by giving written notice by certified registered mail to the renter or lessee, on or before June 30, that the lease or rental agreement will not be renewed for the following calendar year. A.C.A. § 18-16-105.
C. REAL PROPERTY.
1. Adverse possession. All suits for the recovery of any lands shall be commenced within seven (7) years after the title or cause of action accrues, except that if the person entitled to bring suit is within the age of twenty-one (21) years or non compos mentis at the time the title or right first accrues, such person shall commence suit within three (3) years after attaining full age or sound mind. A.C.A. §§ 18-61-101(a), (b). See also A.C.A. § 9-25-101 regarding exceptions to the age of majority. See also A.C.A. § 18-61-101(e) regarding exceptions to the abandonment of the public’s right to use an unpaved road and the bar to action following the abandonment.
2. Dower and curtesy. The inchoate right of dower or curtesy of any spouse in real property is barred when the other spouse has been barred of title or of any interest in the property for seven (7) years or more and also in real property conveyed by one spouse but not signed by the other spouse when the conveyance is made or has been made for seven (7) years or more. However, this section shall not apply unless the instrument of conveyance by the husband or wife has been of record for at least seven (7) years. A.C.A. § 28-11-203.
3. Ejectment.
