Squatters have no rights in California. Squatters are trespassers.

According to the California Civil Code a trespasser must occupy the real property hostile to the rights of the owner, openly, exclusively, continuously for five years and must pay the property taxes. During the time of trespass they have no rights. If the owner becomes aware of the hostile use of their property they can have the trespasser thrown out, post signs, give permission for use, contact an attorney, etc.

It depends on your location. Squatters are treated differently in different countries.Generally, in the United States, there is no such thing as squatters rights. Squatters are trespassers. A vigilant property owner can have unauthorized dwellers arrested for trespassing. If a tenant paid rent at one time and remained on the property without paying rent, the landlord can commence an eviction proceeding. If a tenant was allowed to use property without paying rent, the owner could issue a written notice if she desires that they leave the premises. There are some unusual court cases where people have claimed adverse possesion by unauthorized use of the property for a number of years. However, that's not possible in every jurisdiction. There are no codified "squatters rights". See related question link for information about adverse possession in the U. S.You should seek the advice of an attorney if someone is claiming "squatters rights" in your property.
