It’s important to note that these cases don’t involve someone setting up a tent on the property for 48 hours and then claiming it as theirs. In every state where I’ve come across adverse possession situations, the period of occupancy is measured in years. In the case I referenced earlier on this thread, I believe the adverse possession period is 30 years.
“It’s important to note that these cases don’t involve someone setting up a tent on the property for 48 hours and then claiming it as theirs.”
Or coming home from a relatively short vacation to find people camped out in one’s house. Those cases, where the police won’t evict them show our society reverting to Third World, or really Animal Kingdom, levels.
The time period for adverse possession is set by statute and varies from state to state. Some places it is as short as 7 years.
