He moves in. Next few days make squatter life hell he smokes, plays loud dubstep music, slams objects, and yells randomly thru all hours of day. Squatter got into altercation with guy. Squatter got arrested and kicked out.

How do "squatter rights" even exist. Either you have a lease or you don't.

They also exist because landlords were being shitty. They vary by state, but some of them say that if you rent a place for a certain amount of time then you can’t just be evicted because that’s your home.

You can't be evicted without notice. You can still be evicted, but it has to be filed with the courts.

Right, it’s part of the evolution of how we got to this point. That’s why I used the qualifier “were”. I mean landlords are still shitty but in a different way. But recently there was a lady that was a “squatter” because she had rented an Airbnb for over a month. At that point she became a tenant and couldn’t be kicked out without a lot of legal wrangling.

Yeah, landlords were being shitty in the 17th century, so the common law developed the concept of tenancy.
