Squatter’s rights

[expat]

I know someone who let himself into his own flat when the tennant had not paid up in 4 months and the police were called.

Ended up getting a restraining order put against him.

It sounds unfair, but if it was rented out then it was not his flat in the usual sense of his home. It was an asset of his business, but someone else's home.

I think they were close to charging him with breaking and entry on that point. Thing was he did not know if they were still in there so he let himself in.

He fair got the book thrown at him.
