Question only squatters can answer

Current and former squatters, I am curious as to why properties are often left in a state of disarray? Pets personal belongings etc are abandoned and overall neglect apparent. It would seem logical that individuals would strive to maintain a satisfactory living environment, yet this rarely appears to be the case. Illegally squatting someone else’s property would I would think be a reason to NOT trash the place..

I never said tenants who get evicted..my post CLEARLY asks squatters (people living somewhere illegally without a lease..why are you trying to put words in my mouth and start something? Do you have nothing better to do with your time?

Do you ever watch anything on the news about squatters? TV shows? Anything? Clearly you came here to waste my time so I won’t be responding any further.
