It refers to folklore, with some evidence of practice around the 1600's in Wales, as well as in England and other countries of rights associated with constructing a house between sunset and sunrise.

−	It was believed that, if a person could build a house in one single night on common land, have the hearth fire lit in the morning, with smoke coming from the chimney, they could claim the freehold of that land to live on. Variations include that they could live on the land for one year and that they could claim land around the one night house to the equivalent distance that they could throw an axe.	+	It was believed that, if a person could build a house in one single night on common land, have the hearth fire lit in the morning, with smoke coming from the chimney, they could claim the freehold of that land to live on. Variations include that they could live on the land for one year and that they could claim land around the one night house to the equivalent distance that they could throw an axe. The term originates from a time when there was increasing pressure on land from land enclosure, ownership and taxation coupled with rural housing shortages.

Ty unnos is a Welsh term that translates to English as house in one-night. It refers to folklore, with some evidence of its practice around the 1600's in Wales as well as in England and other countries due to increasing pressures of land ownership and rural housing shortages.

It was believed that if a person could build a house in one single night on common land, have the hearth fire lit in the morning, with smoke coming from the chimney they could claim the freehold of that land to live on. Variations include that they could live on the land for one year and that they could claim land around the one night house the distance that they could throw an axe.

Whilst there is evidence in the law of England and Wales, the discussion relates to what might be termed as squatters rights, where land without title, that is squatted over a long period, may a some point be regarded as legitimate possession. The UK government describe squatters rights as such "A long-term squatter can become the registered owner of property or land they’ve occupied without the owner’s permission." In more detail this means that a squatter can apply for ownership if they can prove;

* The squatter or a succession of squatters, have occupied the property continuously for 10 years (12 years if it’s not registered with HM Land Registry).
* The squatter (or their predecessors) acted as owners of the property for the whole of that time.
* The squatter (or any of their predecessors) did not have the owner’s permission, for example the property was not originally rented to the squatter.

Dafydd Wiliam, principal curator of historic buildings at St Fagans National Museum of History in Cardiff, indicated that finding examples of genuine Ty, t or tai unnos is virtually impossible probably because of their materials: "

"As they had to be built overnight, t unnos cottages were by necessity simple structures built from wattle and daub or turf, and capped with a rudimentary thatched roof.
