Most landlords or local council housing departments can relate to the undeniably frustrating issues surrounding unwanted tenants in their properties. “Squatters” is the term we usually use to refer to unauthorised residents in a property; usually people who break in to a secured premises and set up home until forced to leave by authorities. Occasionally these people are existing tenants who refuse to leave after their lease has expired or ignore repeated court orders to vacate.
In most cases squatters are usually moved on after a long term of residence which can lead to the property being left in a poor condition. Quite often drug use is evident and sometimes even human excrement can be found in the rooms. Furniture, unwanted possessions and general waste are left behind alongside, in some cases, serious damage to the property’s structure.
