It could mean a few different things. If it's an empty house and you are in it, you are considered a squatter because you have no legitimate proof you CAN occupy it. (You don't own it or you don't have a lease.) A rental agreement can dictate how many persons a landlord will allow in their property. If you are over the limit, you are violating the lease. If you have been evicted, you are breaking the law because a judge has ordered you to vacate the property. You may be physically removed by law enforcement.
