Sanctions de l’occupation d’un logement par des squatteurs

This is an ordinary bill (proposition de loi) tabled in the French National Assembly, during the 15th legislature, concerning sanctions for the unlawful occupation of a dwelling by squatters. The title indicates that it aims to strengthen or clarify the legal penalties applied when someone occupies a home without the owner's consent. Based on the title alone, the bill addresses the enforcement side of property rights and the criminal or civil consequences of squatting. The main groups affected are homeowners and landlords, who may face long periods of losing use of their property, as well as people who occupy dwellings without legal right. Local authorities, courts and police may also be involved in applying any new rules. This summary is based only on the metadata, not the full text of the bill, so the exact changes to the law should be checked in the official parliamentary documents.
