I have been told that a case for malicious prosecution can be filed when someone intentionally uses the legal system to harm or harass another party without reasonable grounds. In your case, the tenant's baseless legal notice demanding rent equivalent to 120 years' worth based on a 25-year-old false oral agreement could qualify as malicious prosecution if certain conditions are met. PLEASE OPINE.

As you have worded your query, the tenant has no legal grounds for his claim, as for harassment, if it is physical, you can always approach the local police authorities. Resorting to malicious prosecution may prove fruitless excecise.
