I absolutely adore the way scare quotes are used in the article. It doesn't make any sense. Why is a house where nobody lives "empty" and not just empty? Wh are tenants's description and rating of their experiences with housing scalpers "reviews" and not just reviews? These are normal words.
Also, bonus points to whoever wrote this for calling the legal process in which occupants can gain ownership over abandoned property stealing (without scare quotes this time).
