Adverse possession is extremely misunderstood. It almost never applies to landlord/tenant type situations. The reason being that that posession is not “adverse” in the sense that the person was living there with permission in exchange for rent. Adverse possession, generally, comes into play with property line disputes, and sometimes with genuine long term squatter situations. A core and often overlooked element however is that a license or permission to use the property means you aren’t possessing it “adversely”.
