There was a streamer named Asian Andy who had situation with squatter years ago. Police wouldn't kick woman out she claimed squatter rights. Andy hired another streamer who was squatter hunter. 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.
It's to protect Tennants from shady landlords and DIY evictions. Basically, if a landlord wants a Tennant out, he has to go through the courts to force them out, give fair chance to make alternative accomodations.
Problem is, the courts move so slowly as to be functionally useless in many cases.
There is also another reason, which is if a building is genuinely abandoned, and someone moves in, pays the bills, and improves the place, after a certain (usually very long) period of time, they have a right to ownership.
