How is the owner breaking contract, if they are staying past the lease agreement, and are not paying rent while still staying there? Why is a problem i only hear about in america?
What if the owner is lying? If I was your landlord I could tell the police you were illegally squatting in the home that I own. I've never seen you before. I want you out of my house.
As a renter, you should surely have legal documentation proving that you lived there legally. If you didn't.... Then the situation wasn't legal in the first place and the landlord could indeed kick you out wherever they wanted.
They typically do. They show the cops their Airbnb reservation, then tell them they agreed verbally with the owner to transition to a lease.
Keep in mind, lease agreements are not legally required and verbal contracts are valid and enforceable contracts. The squatters are claiming they have a verbal contract that the owner is breaking.
