If no one occupies your property, you must take steps to prevent trespassers and unwanted individuals from entering the property.
- If the property remains unoccupied, trespassers may claim that you abandoned your property and as a result, they may have a right to live on your property.
Preventing Trespassers
You should make sure that your property remains locked . It is a good idea to place locks on all of the doors and to place “No Trespassing” signs on your property. You may want to also install a security system that can alert you if someone enters your property while you are not there. If possible, it may also be a good idea to designate a person who you trust to manage or live on the property. Also consider informing neighbors to monitor the property.
