For the past 10 years, Ana rented a house she owned to Nia. The lease created a periodic tenancy, with rent payable on January 1st of each year. From the beginning, Nia demonstrated great hostility toward Ana and often refused to speak with Ana or answer inquiries about the house. Each year, Nia would leave for Europe and spend several weeks visiting museums and touring the Alps. These vacations caused Ana some concern since the house was vacant and susceptible to waste. Shortly after Nia missed making her rental payment for the current year, Ana went to Nia to demand the payment. Nia asserted that she did not owe Ana any rent. Nia claimed that she now owned the house because she had adversely possessed it. The jurisdiction has a 10-year statutory period for adverse possession. Which of the following is correct?
