You would need an agreement with the owner. They would probably want rent.

It could get real complicated..See http://www.houselist.com/forms/que/advposs.htm Your best bet might be to try this in Arizona, where it takes the least amount of time to gain squatters rights, aka (adverse possession) In Arizona, two (2) years uninterrupted possession is sufficient to claim real estate by adverse possession against persons who have no better right to real estate. To recover a real estate claim by another person by adverse possession, one must file suit within the time period specified in Arizona Code §12-523. Arizona Code §12-521 through 528. It all depends on the state you are in, as each state has it's own laws on this. Thousands of individuals own real estate they rarely use. When they die, their relatives and friends might not be aware of a distant property owned by the deceased owner. That is an ideal situation for adverse possession (squatters rights) to arise. For example, there is a house that has been vacant almost two years. In checking the tax and public records we find the property taxes haven't been paid and the owners are deceased.. If I wanted to obtain title by adverse possession, I could move in, pay the property taxes, and hope nobody shows up to evict me until the met the number of years required by the state to obtain a legal title to the property. Abandoned property is relatively easy for squatters to move in and eventually gain title by adverse possession. Rural properties are most often abandoned, although it can happen in cities. In leiu of this you might try contacting the person who owns the vacant properties, and checking with them to see if you could work out some arrangement to stay there as a house sitter..

Good answer RonM.

If you decide to do this, IMMEDIATELY arrange for mail to be delivered to you at this address. This makes it a bit more complicated for them to get you out.

So, what did you do, get on the computer at the library or something?

Yes. It's called squaters rights or adverse possession.


California has the easiest "squatter's rights" adverse possession law. Just occupy a California property for five years without the owner's permission, pay the property taxes, and you can acquire full ownership by then suing the legal owner in a quiet-title lawsuit. It's that easy.

However, Texas and several other states have much tougher adverse possession laws, requiring "open, notorious, hostile, exclusive and continuous occupancy" for 30 years. Needless to say, not many Texans claim title by adverse possession.

Good Luck
