Generally, if the person was using the property with the permission of the owner they are barred from claiming adverse possession. You should consult with an attorney about drafting a written agreement regarding the use of the property.

How do you do a quit claim deed on a abandoned house?

You can't. The city or town must take possession of the property for non-payment of property taxes, clear the title and then the town can sell the property to a new owner.Through a claim of adverse possession you could set up residence in the house, pay all the taxes, improve the property and then wait several years (5 to 20 depending on state law) until you have met the state requirement to file a claim of adverse possession. Then, in most states you would need to clear the title through a court decree.You can't.

Can an ex claim possession of your house by renting it for 2 years and then moving but leaving her furniture in the house?

No. If the house is also in her name she does have a part ownership of the house and you will need to go to court to remove her name and buy her out. If she isn't on the deed and has been renting leaving her items in the house is not a claim of ownership and she is actually preventing you from renting the house again. You could take her to small claims court for the rent since she left furniture in the house and that means she is still there. Therefore, she owes rent.
