Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Squatters rights

If you allow someone to stay in your apartment because they had no where else to go and you told them day one it was not permanent do they have squatters rights? It hasn't even been 10 years. also you have told everyone else that lived there that they have to go and they left. this is the only person who won't go and the others were your children.
