Squatters and Unauthorised Occupants

 
The laws on squatting are quite complex and Ascham Homes cannot simply evict a person who is squatting. However, if any tenant becomes aware of squatters in a property that they know should be vacant, perhaps one tenant has moved out and another has not yet moved in, we would be grateful if the tenant would advise us and we can then commence the action.
 
This applies generally to unknown and suspicious occupants.  We greatly appreciate any information we receive from our residents.
 
If you see anyone suspicious or who appears to be squatting in a property please use the contact us so that we can resolve the matter quickly. Any contact will be strictly confidential.
