I was a squatter for a while, it was through not fault of mine though.
The letting agent was taking the rent directly from my ex's wages, so they decided it was far too confusing to take it from his bank account, despite constant calls and letters from us. So we didn't pay rent for around 8 months, then got served with an eviction notice on Christmas eve. We called the company, arranged to pay 2 months back rent and stayed a further 2 years since we argued that we were security for the shop below since we had stopped two attempted break ins, so they were happy to keep us on there.

ah
but i am guessing you probably didn't trash the place and threaten to rape the agent's babies for offering you 24 hours to vacate peacefully?

It was trashed when we got there, so we actually did them a favour by redecorating and throwing away 36 empty cereal boxes

A good squatter
is one who doesn't break and enter, and who fucks off when you ask them to do so. ^^ this kind of nonsense is reprehensible. Do you own the place, or have you paid for it? No? Then quite frankly you deserve to be set fire to.
It's one thing to be homeless and squat, it's another to be an arrogant toerag who somehow thinks he has the right to occupy and destroy somebody elses property.

EDIT - by 'this kind of nonsense' I was replying to rachelswipes post, not the redecorating and cereal-box-throwing of beckys!
