Oregon lawmakers debate bill to expedite eviction of squatters with 24-hour notice

Lawmakers are debating a bill that would empower property owners to evict squatters with just 24 hours notice.

The proposed legislation defines a squatter as an individual who occupies a property without a valid rental agreement or tenant authorization. The bill aims to address the issue of squatters exploiting legal loopholes and slow eviction processes to occupy properties without the owner’s consent.

By clarifying that squatters do not possess tenant rights, the bill seeks to eliminate legal delays associated with rental protections.
