Squatters’ Presence in Unoccupied Properties: Squatters are individuals who unlawfully occupy properties without permission or payment. They may gain access to vacant homes, especially those owned by absentee homeowners, hoping that their presence will go unnoticed. In some cases, squatters exploit legal doctrines like adverse possession, potentially acquiring ownership rights over time.
Protection Against Squatting Through Home Watch Programs: Absentee home watch programs offer a proactive solution to safeguard properties from squatters by providing regular monitoring, inspections, and maintenance services. These programs help detect unauthorized occupants early on, preventing potential adverse possession claims by ensuring the property remains under proper oversight.
Legal Distinction Between Trespassing and Squatting: While trespassing involves illegal entry onto the property for criminal purposes, squatting is often a civil matter related to long-term unauthorized occupation. Absentee homeowners are particularly vulnerable to squatters who may take advantage of unattended properties for extended periods.
