211.23—Procedure.
Upon the receipt of any real estate claim it is submitted to a Claims Officer who investigates the matter and secures all evidence necessary for a full consideration of the claim and upon which a determination can be made as to the liability of the Government. For this purpose the Claims Officer is authorized and charged with the duty of securing sufficient evidence to establish with certainty the following general points:
(b)
The interest of the claimant in the property and the interest that others may have in the property.
(c)
Date and circumstances under which occupation of premises occurred and date of vacation. If under a lease, the lease number and date of lease.
(e)
If claim is for rental without formal lease or agreement, data as to the market and rental value of the property.
The above obligations of the Claims Officer does not relieve the claimant from the burden of proving his claim and it is the duty and obligation of the claimant to furnish such evidence within his particular knowledge as the Claims Officer may require.
