I answered tu n'as pas habilité ici depuis longtemps as per the explanation leçon un négatif sentence i should use passé composé

But  kwiziq is saying right answer is 

Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps

Please explain

I believe the lesson says that in this case, one would use the present indicatif:

"Ne...pas + Présent indicatif + depuis longtemps = not long / not for long 

-> It started a short while ago, and is still ongoing"
