If the okupas have been there for longer than 48 hours without you trying to get rid of them, doing something like that could be considered harassment and/or endangering the occupants' health, so you'd probably face criminal charges for it. You're not allowed to alter the living conditions to force them out, but you need to (within 48 hours of the occupation) legally get them out of the property.
- Adrox 2y agoYup, lots of cases where the owners stopped paying/turned-off water, gas, electricity and the court made them turned them back on (and pay all the bills).

- dheera 2y agoWhat if your house already had fart spray releasers in the first place because you "love the smell", and your thermostat was "broken" in the first place? When you live there you know how to "fix" them but otherwise you are not obligated to fix them.
- prmoustache 2y agoYou are living in pure fantasy. The squatters would simply fix the thermostats and disconnect the sprays. The buildings are occupied because the owner do not live there. Squatters target housings that are left empty by owners who are just speculating on the market.
- alexpc201 2y agoNo, in Barcelona, there are numerous examples of people who went on vacation, leaving their apartment completely closed, and it was occupied.
- diggan 2y agoYou seem to keep spreading this baseless rumor. "Occupation"/"Okupas" is considering properties beyond your primary residential property. I'm sure there are cases where okupas tried to take people's primary residential property, but the police absolutely help you to get rid of them quickly. I personally know a handful of cases where okupas tried to take people's primary residence that they just purchased and were in the process of reforming before moving, for example. And every single case was solved quickly by local police, as it's breaking and entering, not a occupation.
- dheera 2y agoThey wouldn't know how to fix the thermostat if I design the thermostat with huge amounts of obscurity, to the point where the heater doesn't even turn on without a secret key being sent to it, the heater has obscure security screws, and if the screws are breached, fart spray in sugar syrup gets released followed by a huge gust of feathers coated in itching powder. Bitter melon juice would be sprayed into the occupant's mouth via a computer vision controlled system that uses a neural net to track the occupant's mouth. If they attempt to disconnect that system, a 2nd system instantly activates with jalapeno sauce. If the jalapeno sauce is disconnected, a 3rd system activates with habanero sauce. The sprays could be made very difficult to disconnect. A new one would activate each day in a new location. If day 1 spray is disconnected, day 2 would be twice as much volume. It has been shown on Youtube that fart spray does work for theft, it's time to deploy it as an actual product everywhere.

- greenavocado 2y agoIt's not within 48 hours of detecting them. It's within 48 hours of occupation. And they could always fabricate how long they have been there unless the area is under constant surveillance. Fabricating leases is very common.
- diggan 2y agoTrue, thanks for correcting that, somehow got it wrong but edited now.
