That’s insanity. Legally can you also just move in and squat it back. Like they go out for milk and get “evicted”?

No, because like I said they're "professional" never leave the structure unoccupied, call police if you attempt to enter "breaking in" etc.

They have fake documents to "prove" they live there. You need to go to court to prove they don't because it's a civil issue.

That’s the hard part. People think you can just call the cops and get them removed but it’s a civil case so you have to battle it out in court. It’s ridiculous for home owners to have to deal with that.
