Squatting vs Storage: is eviction different?

[Robert Arnold]

Hey all! 

Would love to hear your ideas/advice. Our squatter is GONE! Well... sorta. 

Aug 17 posted 30 day notice to quit, squatter says he's actively looking for new place
Aug 23, 2021 local power company posted 3 day notice to pull meter (or bring in contract, which squatter does not have)
Aug 23 was last day we saw squatter living at cabin (we can see from our living room windows)
Aug 26 power company pulled meter
Aug 27 CPS agent comes and documents living conditions 
Aug 27 posted a 7 day notice to evict due to hazard/danger/health conditions
Aug 30 squatter and former tenant (she was in jail since Nov 2020 and this was her first time back on the property) stop by for 10 min, leave with an armful of paperwork, leave behind 4 flea bombs (the house is FULL of food waste and dirty clothes). She removed 2 of the 5 full bags of trash he had sitting in entry/kitchen
Sept 1 township blight enforcement officer comes, documents outside conditions, walks inside, exits with legs covered in dozens of fleas

Sept 3, tomorrow, I plan to take the 7 day notice to the court house

My BIG question is:
Now that the squatter hasn't slept at the property for over a week, and there is no power, and no gas, and the house if full of food and trash: Has the eviction process changed? Like, he's not squatting he's using my house as a storage unit, right? Does him being a meth user with a brother in jail for illegal narcotic manufacturing help my cause? Looking for any angle to get this cabin emptied, repaired, and rented again. 

Thanks BP friends!

Ask your local Magistrate for guidance. 

Mine would.say if less than 500 worth of stuff (yard sale proces) then I can the property back.

My next trick if needed is to call code enforcement and have them put up a 24 hour notice to vacate as property is not habitable without utilities.
