It defines "remain in or upon property" to include situations where an occupant stays on a property for more than 5 days after being served notice to vacate, a squatter who has been directed to leave, and a person violating a restraining or injunction order. It also allows for a temporary restraining order to be issued without notice when a plaintiff asserts they are being denied use of property they have an ownership, possessory, or lease interest in by someone without a legal interest in the property. The bill aims to provide additional legal tools to address unauthorized occupation of property.
