Jordan van den Lamb, 29, collects addresses for abandoned oregon bare homes and provides them to Australians successful request of exigency housing. 

In a caller TikTok video posted nether his moniker Purplepingers, helium shared what to look retired for successful identifying an bare location - from checking the fuse container and state metre to researching online existent property listings. 

While the video received mostly affirmative reactions, a fig of viewers were furious astatine the thought of having to warrant their close to homeownership. 

In an interrogation with Daily Mail Australia, Mr van den Lamb claimed spot owners had a work to marque productive usage of their land. 

Where it was intelligibly demonstrated they had failed to bash truthful by leaving it bare oregon abandoned - usually for astatine slightest 2 years - helium claimed it was justified for a squatter to determination in. He said the thought is embedded successful Australia's taste history.

'It's however we colonised the country. It was like: "this onshore was owned by nary one", which is evidently flawed right. And therefore, the onshore rights were granted to assemblage squatters,' helium said.

Each authorities and territory successful Australia has its ain mentation of adverse possession laws allowing squatters to assertion ownership implicit onshore they've openly and continuously possessed for a defined play of time. 

In astir jurisdictions, possession indispensable beryllium held for 12 to 15 years. For his part, Mr van den Lamb believes this is excessively long. 

'Twelve to 15 years is simply a ridiculous magnitude of clip for a location to beryllium empty, particularly noting these houses are bare for overmuch longer periods anterior to them being squatted [in],' helium told Daily Mail Australia.

'I've ne'er encouraged anyone to interruption successful to a spot and I inactive would ne'er promote that. That's not what this is about. 

'This is astir the thousands of bare properties that we person astir this state and the acold less radical who don't person roofs implicit their caput each night.'

Mr van den Lamb said it was his knowing that trespassing required forced introduction to a property, for example, breaking a model oregon kicking down a door. 

But ineligible experts told Daily Mail Australia otherwise. 

Andre Ong, main astatine Sharrock Pitman lawyers, said Mr van den Lamb had 'misconstrued' the transgression and tortious elements of trespassing. 

'In a civilian society, you are expected to respect different people's spot rights. What is applicable is that you were determination without consent oregon different lawful entitlement to beryllium there,' helium said.

Special counsel successful commercialized litigation astatine Attwood Marshall Lawyers Jade Carlson agreed, adding the ineligible question is whether Mr van den Lamb himself could beryllium held liable for immoderate trespasses helium whitethorn assistance to facilitate.
