Under the Trespass to Property Act which of the following reasons can you remove a person off private property as a property owner, agent, or occupier

  1. Failing to leave when asked to do so

  2. Unauthorized activity

  3. Entering the property when prohibited

  4. You can’t remove anyone only arrest

The correct answer is: You can’t remove anyone only arrest

The correct understanding is that property owners, agents, or occupiers do have the authority to remove individuals from their property for various reasons outlined in the Trespass to Property Act. This includes situations where an individual fails to leave when explicitly asked, engages in unauthorized activities, or enters the property when it is clearly prohibited. Each of these conditions provides legitimate grounds for a property owner to take action in order to maintain the safety and security of their premises. Therefore, the idea that one cannot remove anyone and can only arrest them is not aligned with the provisions of the Trespass to Property Act. In fact, property owners have the right to ask individuals to leave and, if necessary, take further steps to ensure their property is not trespassed upon.
