Yes really… I think your definition of squatter is misconstrued to get clout. I mean technically a spouse or significant other living in an apartment that isn’t on the lease is likely a “squatter”, or someone who pays a subletter that isn’t authorized to sublet… but the modern definition is someone who moves into a property and receives mail until they by law receive tenant rights under state law, and they are not living in a boarded up low income housing project.
well I define squatter as someone living in a space that they don’t have “legal rights” to do so. In this case, the homeless people living in this abandoned building were squatting there. But go off, preach, keep sending whatever out into the void, you do you or whatever.
So you admit a squatter is someone who lives with someone else in violation of the lease terms, even if they pay rent… or someone who unknowingly pays rent to a subletter when they don’t have legal rights to lease out their apartment as well?
