Does Ohio have squatters rights

Yes, Ohio has laws that recognize squatters' rights under certain conditions. If a squatter occupies a property openly and continuously for a specified period, typically 21 years, they may be able to claim legal ownership through adverse possession. However, the property owner can take legal action to evict squatters before this time frame is met. It's important for property owners to be proactive in protecting their rights to avoid potential complications.
