Answer:
Adverse possession requires continued use which is "open and notorious" and "adverse" to the owner's interest. Property that is occupied with the consent of the owners is not considered a hostile claim. Merely sending the possessor a note granting permission to be there will usually be enough to defeat a claim of adverse possession.
