can you explain continuous possession for 10 years?
Continuous possession for 10 years in the context of adverse possession means that the person claiming the property must have uninterrupted, consistent, and continuous use of the property for a full *-year period. They must treat the property as their own, without interference or sharing possession with others.
what if the property is a rental property next door to them? Can they claim on a rental property?
Case Rating: *
In general, adverse possession claims on rental properties are difficult because:
- The possession must be hostile and without the owner's permission.
- If it's rented, the possession is typically with permission, which contradicts adverse possession requirements.
Do you have any other questions?

i rent a property out to tenants and the person who lives next door to my rental property is trying to claim adverse possession and acquiescence on me.
Case Rating: *
Adverse possession on a rental property is challenging since possession must be hostile and without permission, which is unlikely with tenants. Acquiescence would require a mutual agreement on boundary lines for 15 years in Minnesota. Would you like more details on handling this situation?

she ask me for permission to plant and weed and to remove fence and put new fence up
Case Rating: *
It seems like your neighbor's request to plant, weed, and replace the fence might not support an adverse possession claim since they've asked for your permission. Adverse possession requires hostile possession without the owner's consent. Keep records of their request to protect your property rights.

I sold the property and now the neighbor is claiming adverse possession and acquiescence on the new owner. Can the neighbor do that?
Case Rating: *
In general, if the neighbor had permission to make changes, it weakens their adverse possession claim. If they didn't have permission but met other requirements, they might have a case, but proving it will be challenging. The new owner should consult a lawyer to assess the situation and determine the best course of action.

Isn't there a 10 year for the new owner?
Case Rating: *
In Iowa, the neighbor would need to demonstrate continuous possession without permission for 10 years to claim adverse possession. The new owner should review any agreements or permissions the neighbor had with you to see if they affect the claim's validity. Consulting a lawyer for advice is a wise step.

well she got permission from me to do anything and never made claim to me about a boundary issue when i owned the property.
Case Rating: *
Since the neighbor had permission from you, this undermines their adverse possession claim. Permission typically prevents a possession from being considered hostile. The new owner should review past permissions granted and consult a lawyer to address any claims.

new owner is pro se
Case Rating: *
The new owner's situation seems challenging due to the neighbor's claim of adverse possession and acquiescence. Given that the neighbor had permission from you, their claim might be weakened. However, consulting a lawyer for further legal advice is advisable, especially since the new owner is representing themselves.
