    squatters rights precede the founding of the United States and have nothing to do with renters rights. You’re just wrong about why these laws exist.

      Precede

      Bet… but the issue is the government who currently controls the land and enforces the laws.

      You don’t go breaking Constantinople’s laws because they were once different in Istanbul.

            no. the governments that currently control the several states actually all have squatters rights (adverse possession) laws still on the books. the person to whom i was replying was conflating squatters rights with renters rights.

            your comment seems to imply that somehow the squatters rights were eliminated at some point, but they never were.
