May a Squatter claiming adverse possession property of neighbor and sues to quiet title finding another Squatter has claimed the same property by adverse possession who gets quiet title?

Preface: I had to read this question several times. Pardon my obvious confusion. All references are as to the laws of the State of Washington. Adverse possession can only be met by proving each of the following elements (Muench v. Oxley, 90 Wn. 2d. 637, 584 P2d. 939 (1978)): the possession must be open and notorious, actual and uninterrupted, hostile, exclusive, and under a claim made in good faith. The necessary period of possession is 10 years; however, one who possesses under color of title and pays taxes for 7 consecutive years can bring an adverse possession action at the end of the 7 year period (RCW 7.28.070). If one element of the test is missing, the property cannot be claimed by adverse possession. Clearly, if two different people claimed title to a property by adverse possession,and both used the property during the 10 year period, neither one would have had exclusive and uninterrupted possession of the property, thereby failing the second prong of the adverse possession test introduced in Muench v. Oxley. One could also claim that the possession was not open and notorious, as well. In conclusion, neither party would succeed in their adverse possession claim because they would fail to meet each element of the adverse possession test.

Does a licensee have any right to property if contract is renewed uninterrupted for 10 years or more?

What is the time line for adverse possession in Ontario?

Adverse possession is more complicated in Canada than in the US, has a different legal effect and it is not common.Generally, the claimant doesn't gain title to the property but the owner loses the right to sue after 10 years and the squatter only gets to occupy the land. They do not acquire any title. For that reason some think it should be more accurately called adverse occupation. The limit for prescriptive rights (personal, as in a right of way) is 20 years. Also, there are several overlapping statutes that apply and conflict in some cases. It takes occupation for 60 years to gain the right to occupy "Crown Lands". Adverse possession is rarely accomplished by deliberate encroachment. Rather, an adverse possessor must have acted in the belief that he or she owns the land.In Ontario, there are several statutes which apply:Limitations Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. L-15 (see s.15 and s.3)Land Titles Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. C.6, s. 3.Certification of Titles Act. R.S.O. 1990, c. C-6, s. 4(2)Ontario maintains two separate paper based systems for recording owners of land: the Registry System and the Land Titles System. Land registered in the Land Titles system is immune from adverse possession. In order to be vulnerable to an adverse possession claim the property must be in the Registry system.Over the last few years, there has been an official program in Ontario to convert all land registration to the Land Titles System under an electronic program called POLARIS ( Province of Ontario Land Registration and Information System). During the conversion process, the 'old' paper registry records are converted to an electronic system. As land is entered to the Land Titles System, any existing disputes are addressed, the clock for adverse possession stops running and future claims of adverse possession are barred. As time passes claims for adverse possession will diminish and eventually disappear.The court of jurisdiction for matters concenring adverse possession is the Superior Court of Justice.

Can a person claim a piece of property they have lived on for a long period of time with no rental agreement?

Maybe. It depends on the exact circumstances, and the laws of your particular state. Most states in the U.S. (as well as other common-law countries, such as Canada and the UK) adhere fairly closely to the common-law rules of adverse possession, which is a doctrine allowing a squatter to take title to land if they occupy it continuously for a certain period of time. To take title under adverse possession, several elements have to be met. They are: 1. Continuous occupation of land 2. In a manner adverse to the ownership interest of the true owner (so, if you're there with the explicit permission of the owner, you can never take title under adverse possession) 3. In a manner which is open and notorious, meaning that a reasonable owner would be put on notice that someone is occupying the land. 4. The land is used in a manner consistent with a true owner - for example, if the land is suited only for agriculture, the adverse possessor should use it for that purpose. Likewise, if the land is only suited for human use for part of the year (perhaps it's in the wilderness and inaccessible in winter), occupation only during the times it is accessible will satisfy the requirement of continuous occupation. 5. All of the above elements were continuously satisfied for a statutorily set period. This varies from state to state, and many states have different time limits depending on the circumstances, but it is generally 7 to 20 years. Basically, adverse possession is a statute of limitations for continuous trespass - the owner of the land has to remove an adverse possessor from the land within the statutory time limit, or they run the risk of losing title to the property. You should note that adverse possession does not apply if you have permission to be on the land, even if all the other elements are met, because, in such a case, you aren't an "adverse" possessor. However, if the owner explicitly revokes permission, but does nothing to actually eject you from the land, then you become an adverse possession, and the time period begins to run from that point forward.
