Squatters

[Tanya Potter]

This may be a stupid question, but I'm asking it anyway. If a house on the market currently has squatters in it, can that be dealt with simply by getting police involved to get them out after the property is purchased? Or do you have to treat squatters the same as bad tenants and go through the eviction process?

An eviction is to remove anyone who is in "Possession" of the home, not just people who are on the lease.  Therefore you will have to go through the eviction process and on the legal forms (for a name)  you will put "All Occupants".  This will evict everyone in possession of the home,  including the dog.
