So what's the origin or idea behind the "squatters rights"? What is it intended to protect, because I can't imagine it's intent was to protect those who broke into empty homes and just live there with no one knowing they're there

I think its basically to allow people to take over buildings that were legitimately abandoned and then give rights to the people maintaining the building after the original owners abandoned it. Like abandoned for extended periods of time or perhaps permanently abandoned

but yeah, any time its applied to buildings that arent abandoned its atrocious
