Client’s Situation
An investor discovered that his vacant apartment had been occupied by third parties without any contract or legal authorization. The locks had been changed, and the property was being used without payment.
Problem
Self-help eviction is illegal and may expose the property owner to criminal liability.
Our Strategy
Filed a possessory recovery claim (recovery of possession). Demonstrated the absence of any legal right or title allowing occupation. Secured application of an accelerated eviction procedure.
Result
The court ordered expedited eviction. The property was recovered within 2.5 months.
