Can you not
Instruct a 3rd party to go round and change the locks? If someone was 'booked' to do the work before the squatters moved in, would it be feasible for them to turn up and do the work for the lease holder? Or is it a case that once they've claimed the place as a squat the rules change? A bit like saying 'no returns' to win an argument?

exactly that
once they put up signs saying it is their home, you have to go to court to prove it isn't. the law sucks!

of course, lots of landlords ignore the law.

Too late to get an interim possession order?

Or get the cops involved if there's evidence of breaking and entering?

It was like that when we got here Guv!
Followed by 'Can you prove it'?

Would be my guess as to the likely answers.

But would squatters go to court
To defend their occupation of a building? I'm guessing if they are skint they'd not be able to go to the expense of it? I would like to think that legal aid isn't available to people who want to steal a house either.

they don't pay anything
they just don't turn up, or they defend themselves. just the time it takes to get a hearing buys them a few days or weeks for free!

What if
some big bruisers with crowbars just happened to be passing and thought, "Oh look, there's some squatters. They shouldn't be in there. Let's duff them up and throw them out, just so the landlord doesn't get any grief, out of the goodness of our hearts, like"?
