Answer:
Adverse possession requires that the use of the property be "open and notorious" and "adverse" to the owner's interest. If the property is occupied with the owner's consent, it does not qualify as a hostile claim. Simply sending a note granting permission to the possessor is often sufficient to defeat an adverse possession claim.
