New law comes in to play on Saturday making it an offence for squatters to occupy an abandoned or empty property without the owner's permission.
They will face up to 6 months in jail, a £5,000 fine or both.
Squatters Face Jail After Rights Are Axed
Charities don't agree with the law change and feel there will be a big rise in homelessness.

I've put a poll up to see if members agree with the new law for home owners rights or should squatters rights have stayed, personally i think it's about time this new law came about.
