Why doesn the law protect landlords/owners from Squatters?
The law is a disgrace, once people are in or on your property you are forced to pay thousands – even tens of thousands – of pounds to get rid of the stinking parasites. It’s one thing for squatters to move into an abandoned house (there are a lot of them in some poorer towns and Cities) and look after the property while living in it but it’s a scandal when they effectively steal land or buildings that are still maintained; there are a lot of elderly people who own a bit of land or a small second home that they may have had to leave unattended for a couple of years and then the local scumbags decide they’re going to have it. Even when they are finally evicted, which can take YEARS, the property may be vandalized beyond recovery. Personally I would use liberal amounts of physical force to get rid of them but not everyone has that option.
