This sounds like an easement "by prescription", but you may be referring to "adverse possession". Can't absolutely tell based on the scanty information.

What are landlord rights when a person claims squatters rights?

It depends on your location. Squatters are treated differently in different countries.Generally, in the United States, there is no such thing as squatters rights. Squatters are trespassers. A vigilant property owner can have unauthorized dwellers arrested for trespassing. If a tenant paid rent at one time and remained on the property without paying rent, the landlord can commence an eviction proceeding. If a tenant was allowed to use property without paying rent, the owner could issue a written notice if she desires that they leave the premises. There are some unusual court cases where people have claimed adverse possesion by unauthorized use of the property for a number of years. However, that's not possible in every jurisdiction. There are no codified "squatters rights". See related question link for information about adverse possession in the U. S.You should seek the advice of an attorney if someone is claiming "squatters rights" in your property.


Regarding squatter's rights who has the right to property that has been maintained for years in a foreclosure sale?

"Squatters" are a misunderstood group. Generally, in the United States they have no rights. They are trespassers during their period of trespass. They are people who use and improve another person's land openly and without permission. If the owner allows the situation to extend for a period of years (that period varies from state to state) they can file an action for "adverse possession" and obtain title to the premises. Until they do that and succeed they have no rights. The procedure varies in different states.It sounds as though the party who maintained the property for years had someone's permission to do so. In that case they would not be considered "squatters". If they had an agreement to maintain the property while living there then they could sue the other party if they breached the agreement. However, they are using the property subject to the mortgage that the owner granted to a bank. The bank has the right to take possession of the property by a foreclosure. It can sell the property and apply the proceeds toward the unpaid balance on the mortgage.
