Trespassing

Trespassing is a legal term that refers to the act of entering or remaining on someone else’s property without permission or lawful right to do so. Under California law, for example, trespassing is defined by Penal Code Section 602, which covers a wide range of activities, including:

  • Entering private property without permission
  • Remaining on property after being asked to leave
  • Entering property with the intent to interfere with business or property rights
  • Refusing to leave a motel or other establishment after being asked to do so
  • Entering land that is closed or restricted

To prove trespassing, the following elements are generally required:

  • Willful entry or remaining on the property of another
  • Lack of permission or consent from the owner
  • Intent to interfere with property rights or actual interference with those rights

Trespassing is most commonly charged as a misdemeanor, but it can also be an infraction or, in certain aggravated cases, a felony. Penalties vary depending on the circumstances and jurisdiction, but often include fines and possible jail time.
