The Articles of Confederation
The law you're referring to is the Land Ordinance of 1785, which established a systematic process for surveying and dividing land in the western territories of the United States. This ordinance introduced a grid system that divided land into townships and sections, a method that is still used in modern land surveying and property descriptions today. The organized approach helped facilitate settlement and development in the west, creating a blueprint for land management that continues to influence land use policies.

No. What you are talking about is a claim of adverse possession. Such a claim requires that you reside on the land without the owner's permission. Since you are paying rent, even though there is no written contract, the law says that you are asking the owner's permission to use the land.
I believe the word is 'transgression'. It means: the action of going beyond or overstepping some boundary or limit In terms of law: the violation of a law or a duty or moral principle In terms of geology: event during which sea level rises relative to the land and the shoreline moves toward higher ground, resulting in flooding.Transgressions can be caused either by the land sinking or the ocean basins filling with water (or decreasing in capacity).
