When occupants overstay their welcome: Expert Legal Solutions for Landlords and Property Owners

DEALING WITH PROBLEM TENANTS AND SQUATTERS?

Owning rental property is a valuable investment, but dealing with unauthorised occupants, tenants refusing to leave, or squatters claiming adverse possession can be a legal nightmare. Many landlords struggle with:

• Tenants overstaying their lease without paying rent.
• Squatters attempting to claim ownership through adverse possession laws.
• Unauthorised individuals refusing to vacate, causing financial and legal stress.

THE HIDDEN COSTS OF UNAUTHORISED OCCUPATION

Why You Should Act Fast Against Unauthorised Occupants:

• Financial Loss – Each day your property is illegally occupied, you lose potential rental income and risk costly repairs.
• Complex Eviction Process – Tenant eviction laws require strict legal procedures, making DIY evictions risky.
• Mortgage & Insurance Risks – Many landlords don’t realise unauthorised occupation can breach mortgage terms or void insurance coverage.
• Property Devaluation – Neglected or illegally occupied properties lose value, making resale difficult.
• Property Damage & Legal Risks – Unlawful occupants may not maintain the property, leading to expensive repairs and potential compliance violations.
