[VIDEO] "Understanding Unlawful Occupancy Laws in Newport Beach" by Newport Beach Real Estate Attorneys

Unlawful occupancy, also known as squatting, is when someone is in possession of a property without permission.

This can occur when staying inside a premises after the lease agreement expires, occupying the premises after the tenant refuses to pay rent, or by taking residence without the owner(s) authorization.

While a squatter may appear to be the same as a trespasser, they are legally different.

A squatter is a trespasser that has established residence by moving in furniture or signing up for utilities for the property. Once these changes occur, an eviction process is required to remove them.
