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.


What right do squatters have as far as having to leave the house dwelled in over 10 years?

The answer depends on the details and the laws in your jurisdiction. Generally, you have no claim at all if you used the premises with the permission of the owner. If you openly occupied the property continuously without the permission of the owner you may be able to bring an adverse possession action in court. You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction. The laws vary in different jurisdictions.
