Since squatters are in the news a lot, please post any interesting articles you find.
I honestly can’t see how this has become the issue that it has. You either have a lease or other printed agreement or you don’t. If you don’t, hit the bricks.
How would it be any different if a person rented a hotel room for a night and refused to leave, saying they are a tenant? At least on that case the person was entitled to be there at some point. With many squatters, they simply broke in and had no right to ever be there.
How is it any different than walking out of a Target store with a TV and claiming you bought the TV but you just don’t have a receipt. Why is squatting a civil thing but a TV is a criminal thing?
Laws favor criminals is the short answer I guess.
