      no. the governments that currently control the several states actually all have squatters rights (adverse possession) laws still on the books. the person to whom i was replying was conflating squatters rights with renters rights.

      your comment seems to imply that somehow the squatters rights were eliminated at some point, but they never were.

        Okay, here is a link to the wiki page for the original song from 1953, and here is a yt link to a modern cover you’ve probably heard.

        And finally, here is a short history of the cultural shift from the 15th century the song is referencing. The name finally changed in the 1930s hence the cultural relevance of the song in the 1950s.

        I hope that helps with the reference. Have a great evening!
