If a house has been vacent for 10 years has anyone the right to just move in????

Its called adverse possession. The odds of this are slim to none. This was more common many years back, in The Midwest.
You have to live there X amount of years (check local laws) and live there in an open manner. You have to make it known that you are there. Turn electric on, heat on, pay the tax bill water bill sewer bill.
If you can do all this for around 7yrs without having someone throw you out, Then yes you can do it. Good luck, It is next to impossible.

No, if the property taxes are paid, then it still belongs to the owner. If the taxes are not paid, then the house is auctioned off. There's no such thing as a free house because no one lives there.

No..the house is still owned by someone somewhere and if you moved in you would guilty of trespass at the very least ..maybe breaking and entering.

NO!..Buy you own ..squatter!!


cashman21
Only if you are a Spider, Mouse, or Earwig

Look up squatters rights in your local area. If its been empty, I think if you go an occupy the land in a tent or something for a certain amount of time, the place is yours.

Your time starts from the day you move in, not from the day the house was left empty. 12 years to go.


Spanglish McWhirter
NO!

Just do it and see what happens. Unless it's your house and some one has moved in; then, you have a problem.

I would... that would be cool to find an abandoned house in the woods.

However... you must stay there for 7 years, and be able to prove you were there, before you can make any claim to it, in most places.

Depends. Some cities do have laws which say that if a squatter simply squats for 30 days, she then has acquired rights to the housing and is no longer a trespasser.

Search for "adverse possession" in the city you want info on.
