⚖️  Law

I live in a house behind another house by a street corner. We had two pathways from our house to the streets. One goes beside the house in front of us to one street where there is little parking available, and the other goes through an empty lot that belongs to the house on the corner, between its garage and another house. We have been using a pathway through that lot for six years to access that street because we have available parking there and can see our 2 cars there and would be able to hear their alarms there. The corner house was sold by our landlords about 1.5 years ago, and the new owner continued to let us use the path to get to our vehicles. He recently evicted his tenants and is now telling us that we can no longer use that path. Aren't there any type of "access" laws in our favor? What can we do?
