They aren’t used at all anywhere for the most part because it takes up to 20 years.
When morons say it half of them mean needing to evict someone who sets up shop illegally without a lease and half of them mean needing to go to court instead of being free to put tenants shit on the street for non-payment.
Squatters rights also called Aversive possession have to do with neither.
Squatters of the kind almost anyone encounters in real life don’t have squatters rights at most they have the leverage provided by cops being unwilling to handle the situation. If you break into a property you don’t live in you can absolutely simply be arrested. In fact WA codified in law that if you aren’t a tenant and haven’t been recently you can be removed on the owners say so without a formal eviction.
Tenants who don’t pay still aren’t squatters and their right to a formal eviction is a tenant’s right.
