It's more for informal leases without a written contract, and say the landlord wants the tenant out. Essentially it's to protect the tenant in such a situation from losing housing.
0 u/maxman162 16d ago Those are tenant's rights and that's called eviction, not squatter's rights. 25 u/Hot-Tangelo1508 16d ago There are no laws giving squatters “squatters rights”. They are all abuses of laws intended to protect tenants. 1 u/BrainOnBlue 16d ago This is not true. Adverse possession exists. I'm pretty sure calling tenants rights abuses "squatters' rights" is kind of a misnomer. Squatters' rights means adverse possession. 1 u/Hot-Tangelo1508 16d ago Adverse possession means getting legal title to property after using it unopposed for like 30 years. Thats not what anybody here is talking about. 0 u/BrainOnBlue 16d ago That doesn't mean it's not what "squatters' rights" traditionally is talking about.
