@wildgrass saidYes, laws of adverse possession and the little-known prescriptive rights are definitely enforceable.
Squatters rights are a part of property law so every landowner should know about it. If the property is not in use, trespassing is difficult to argue.
This actually happened to someone in my family in the 1970s. He owned a piece of land and the neighbor built a giant pond that extended into our property almost a half acre. Squatters law gave him rights to that piece of land.

@wildgrass said? SAWgrass, see my post. It does not say trespass, or suggest trespass. It says 'squat'. You are getting as bad as Sonhouse.
You're talking trespassing, squatting is different.

@averagejoe1 saidSquatters rights law are centuries old. They only apply if your land had been possessed by someone else for a long period of time. To avoid it, just know what's happening on your property. These laws are important in the context of completely abandoned property for a very long time (10 years or something).

@averagejoe1 saidThey have to have lived in the house for many years before Squatters' Rights kick in.
You are so wrong. If you leave home for a vacation, your home, lock the doors, whatever, and they squat, you will have the law not on your side. Google it, turkey.
You goose, it would not even be a news story if it were as you say.

@wildgrass saidWhat your are referring to is not called squatter's rights. Squatters don't have rights.

It's called Adverse Possession, and it doesn't apply to people's homes.

Tell that to all the home owners not living in that house now with squatters in it. They have a difficult time getting the asssholes out.

@athousandyoung saidNot exactly true, ATY. One recent case in california, it only took 30 days to kick in!! Someone lost a huge house with this scheme.
They are talking about vacant houses. The owners don’t live there and thus it is not their home.
Squatters should not be allowed to take a person's primary residence and leave them homeless. that's bullsips.
@earl-of-trumps saidThat nonsense only happens in these so-called civilized advanced cultures like USA. Anyone hearing of that down in our primitive backward society will have a good laugh. Here the squatters will be beaten up and the police will pretend they see nothing.

@earl-of-trumps saidYou will have to provide more information because the California adverse possession law requires 3 years.

Squatters' primary residences are taken from them all the time and they end up homeless.
Property ownership is just a piece of paper the government acknowledges. It is so strange how Libertarians worship that government piece of paper.
@rajk999 saidSounds like your squatters need guns to protect their homes.

@athousandyoung saidThe squatters need a bullet to the head.

@rajk999 saidThe British tried that in Ireland but it didn't work. The Irish-American diaspora sent the squatters in Ireland AR-18s and Tommy guns. America...the Arsenal of Democracy.

For the record, before you all get too far afield, adverse possession has to do with a person who overtly uses the property of another for about 20 years,,,,,,and can at that time claim TITLE to it. This discussion is not about title.

I don't like squatters, and if by some miraculous lottery win I DID own second properties, and it was vacant I would put in camera's and signs everywhere and visit the place every day and if squatters tried to take over, I would teargas those Muther fukkers.
