Overview of Removal Process
Intro to the Removal Process
The term "squatter" is the informal term for someone who is living on a property without authority. The formal name for "squatters" is unlawful or unauthorized occupant. You might think of an unlawful or unauthorized occupant as someone who has broken and entered into a property without permission, but there are many circumstances where a person might be considered an unlawful or unauthorized occupant.
CAUTION!!! This removal or "squatter" law does not apply if there has ever been a landlord-tenant relationship between the parties.
