      Is there not some sort of squatters law that would force them to deal with it or risk having them stay? Hence the lawsuit to enforce their rights.

      E.g now that they know, waiting for something to complete might be admission of letting them stay and be required to accept rent?

          So I googled the term to learn more, and it varies by state but…

          Sounds like you need to

          • be on the property for 2-30 years
          • not hide that you’re using it
          • have people think you actually own it
          • be hostile in the take over (permission by owner negates this and disallows adverse posession)
          • be using the land (living on, working on etc)
          • legal owner must not be using the property.
          • must be continuously using the property for the whole statutory period (2 to 30 years) or it resets

          Edit: and in Texas the period is 10y
