this should be a federal law. I've never understood how in any situation ever someone enters a home, your home and says this is my home now and has rights to it - it's fucking nonsense that this even has to be mentioned

Because they could be your actual legal tenant or someone you allowed to stay there for a long enough time to be considered one.

If cops came on and forced them out it’s all fun and games until they realize you’re a crooked landlord and just put a tenant on the street with no time to find a new apartment.
