Rental definition
Squatter
A person occupying property without the owner's permission or a recognized right to occupy, subject to jurisdiction-specific facts and law.
Where it matters
Confirm status and use the lawful process. A dispute about an expired lease or unpaid rent is not automatically a squatting case.
