Civil trespass occurs when an individual enters or remains on someone else's property without permission. This can include physical entry onto land, as well as placing objects on the property or causing damage. The property owner has the right to take legal action against the trespasser to protect their rights. In many jurisdictions, civil trespass is considered a minor offense, but it can lead to disputes between neighbors or property owners. Remedies for civil trespass may include monetary damages or an injunction to prevent further trespassing. Understanding property rights is essential for avoiding such conflicts.
