Like I said he got his answer, the one that anybody with any semblance of common Sense would have figured out.
OP gonna post a new thread with this same inquiry for a very different reason
OP gonna post a new thread with this same inquiry for a very different reason
How do we know that's OP posting? Maybe he dropped his phone running away from another squatter and they took adverse possession of his account.
Start the clock.How do we know that's OP posting? Maybe he dropped his phone running away from another squatter and they took adverse possession of his account.
You're coming in the front door, OP's sliding out the back door.Everytime I open my cottage in the late spring I have a nagging fear that I'm gonna find some squatter in there.
Like, at least wait until school's out. This place is probably a Summer-home.
This. Remember you likely won't be able to get any utilities there. But if you move in, make improvements and treat it as your place, and more importantly present it to the world as your place, and state laws are in your favor, then you might be able to do it.Laws depend on the state but mostly it's something that happens more on Bar exam hypos than an actual way of getting ownership of property that isn't yours. If the place is foreclosed on you're most likely gonna get evicted way before the statutory time for AP kicks in.
OP has been posting a bunch today. He's avoiding this thread hard.
I've been busy looking for jobs. It's exhausting and soul crushing don't you know.This thread will live on long after he's been detained for questioning.
This reminds me of a thread on the old site about a guy who was planning to flee the country to escape his student loans.
Excuses excuses.I've been busy looking for jobs. It's exhausting and soul crushing don't you know.
You need to interview to become a squatter? I thought the labor market was tight these days.I've been busy looking for jobs. It's exhausting and soul crushing don't you know.
How does it compare to looking for houses? :DI've been busy looking for jobs. It's exhausting and soul crushing don't you know.

What about the house though?I've been busy looking for jobs. It's exhausting and soul crushing don't you know.
Why are you so invested? Just let the thread die.
Ok I laughed.
A trespasser's possession must be:
For example, imagine that Bill and Jean live next to one another in Nashville. There is no dividing fence or boundary between their yards. Bill builds a shed that is actually on Jean's side of the property, covering about ten square feet of earth. Jean doesn't say anything. Bill uses the shed as if it were on his own land. He does this for 20 years. Under the rubric described above, Bill can probably establish that he "owns" the land on which he was encroaching. From Jean's perspective, she could have stopped Bill by demanding over those 20 years that he remove his shed or sign a rental agreement. But Tennessee courts will not allow her to suddenly eject Bill after sitting on her rights for two decades.
- hostile (against the right of the true owner and without permission)
- actual (exercising control over the property)
- exclusive (in the possession of the trespasser alone)
- open and notorious (using the property as the real owner would, without hiding his or her occupancy), and
- continuous for the statutory period (which is either seven or 20 years in Tennessee, depending on the circumstances).
Seems pretty petty to me, but you go for it!
I've been here for about 5 months now and this house has an abandoned car in the driveway with the lights on the front porch on day and night. Like no one has been in or out of this place for a very long time. Seems like a waste.
lol
And this house is almost certainly not abandoned, so it's kind of pointless. OP could check back in like 6 months and see if it's still not been cleaned etc... but even then this is not the same as finding some hollowed out building in a bustling city and reclaiming the space. This clearly still belongs to someone, and OP hasn't even looked into it any further from what we can see.Ok I laughed.
As a side note, I looked it up for here in TN and here it is, with a real world example to boot:

I can actually see this kind of "encroachment" of part of the yard happening regularly, but taking over an empty house and holding on successfully for years seems hard.
It's different in London.

My dude. I'm seriously asking, no need to huff and puff like I somehow slighted you. Are you just talking about the lawn/yard? The house seems virtually identical.
Looks like someone planted trees in the meantime.house in 2012 from google streetview vs. now

You know trees and bushes grow over the years, right?

Are you high?you know the street view is older than the new photo.
Different car in the driveway and a tree is removed plus the overgrowth. it's like you guys are being willfully ignorant about this.
Are you, does your living room have a stackful of beer in the living room that hasn't been touched in 5 months, with weeds growing out of your lawn, and a rusted car in your driveway with 4 flats...or is it actually maintained?
He's just trolling now
You have the pick of the litter on Camp Oliver Rd then, if a derelict car / unkept bushes on the property is a sign of abandonment.Are you, does your living room have a stackful of beer in the living room that hasn't been touched in 5 months, with weeds growing out of your lawn, and a rusted car in your driveway with 4 flats...or is it actually maintained?

OP is scouting for his next target.Are you, does your living room have a stackful of beer in the living room that hasn't been touched in 5 months, with weeds growing out of your lawn, and a rusted car in your driveway with 4 flats...or is it actually maintained?
i mean if that's how he keeps his places then he should let someone that knows what to do keep it up.
