Which of the following would prevent someone from acquiring land by adverse possession?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adverse possession requires an open and notorious occupation of the land, meaning that the original owner must have knowledge that someone else is occupying their land. Living secretly on the land would not meet this requirement.

Answer: B 
 Adverse possession typically requires a hostile possession, meaning that the occupier must take the land without the owner's permission and against their wishes. If the original owner never tried to remove the occupier, it might suggest that they consented to the occupation, which would not meet the requirement for adverse possession.

Answer: C 
 Living on the land without the original owner's permission is a key requirement for adverse possession.

Answer: D 
 While being the only person living on the land might make it easier to meet some of the requirements for adverse possession, it is not a guarantee that adverse possession will be successful. All of the other requirements for adverse possession must still be met.
