Can someone squat in your Airbnb?

In many states, the duration of occupancy before overstayers can invoke squatter's rights is 30 days. In others, it's as short as 14. So until someone stays long enough on your property to be legally deemed a squatter, they're just trespassers or loiterers. They can be removed by law enforcers.
