It's not squatting. They are tenants and have rights to the property as well. The landlord can get them out, but has to follow the legal process.

- marcell 6y agoThe GP didn’t mention a lease so I assumed it was month to month, in which case the landlord terminated the lease and the renter moves out. If they had a longer lease, then I’d agree the landlord can’t force them out before the lease ends.
- fiter 6y agoRent control throws a wrench in this simple model. In Berkeley, the tenant almost exclusively has the right to terminate the tenancy. Expiration of lease or month-to-month term is not actually grounds for the owner to terminate the tenancy.
