squatter
Explanation:
Anti-squat is a term applied to a building that would have been attractive to squatters but is offered to rent on a temporary basis, usually for rent well below the market rate.
The residents of such buildings are called anti-squatters. They have none of the rights of a tenant and while they are in residence the building is secured against squatting.
