1 Answer from Attorneys
Your neighbor is obligated to remove the tiles.
You may have to go to court if they refuse.
For them to make a claim for adverse possession, this situation must exist for 10 years.
If the area is not large, why not just give them written permission to use the property under no claim of right?
