Basically, occupation of a property is punishable. However, it has taken a long time to sue the squatters out of your own property. This procedure is now being accelerated by a new law. With the change in civil procedure law, it will be easier to evict real estate, at the latest within 20 days. The process will be accelerated as soon as the rights to the property have been clarified. The Okupas are asked to prove their entitlement to the property (for example, with a lease contract). If they do not provide these documents, the court orders the immediate eviction. No appeal is possible against this decision. For example, eviction, which used to take months and years, can take less than 20 days. This does not affect legally renting residents who, for example, can not pay their rent.
