Per the article, takes 15 years of adverse possession to claim squatter's rights in KY. Order that got homeowner kicked out was a protective order that stemmed from a physical altercation between the "squatter" and one of the homeowner's roommates.

It takes 15 years of squatting to gain adverse possession. That is to gain ownership of the property, you have to live there for 15 years without the owner making an active effort to stop you.

In most states it's the opposite, the owner has to attempt to stop you and you have to hold it hostility.

Nebraska for reference

The squatter's presence and use of the property must be continuous, actual, visible, notorious, distinct, and hostile to the actual property owner's rights.

Meaning you must openly try to prevent the owners use and they most attempt to prevent yours.

So its like a team sport? Squatters versus homeowners?
