[RPPTL Leasing Committee] 2024 Squatter Law

[Harry Heist]

I was having a discussion with a volume landlord/tenant lawyer regarding the squatter law that went into effect in 2024.

He feels that this law would allow the sheriff to remove an occupant (not listed as such on the lease)  who remained behind after the tenant took off.

I interpret the law as applying to a person who enters a vacant dwelling and starts living there. They may be scammers or they may have been scammed by a fake landlord.

I’m curious what others think.

Thanks!
