entering another person's property without permission of the owner or his/her agent
and without lawful authority (like that given to a health inspector) and causing
any damage, no matter how slight. Any interference with the owner's (or a legal
tenant's) use of the property is a sufficient showing of damage and is a civil wrong
(tort) sufficient to form the basis for a lawsuit against the trespasser by the
owner or a tenant using the property. Trespass includes erecting a fence on another's
property or a roof which overhangs a neighbor's property, swinging the boom of a
crane with loads of building materials over another's property, or dumping debris
on another's real estate. In addition to damages, a court may grant an injunction
prohibiting any further continuing, repeated or permanent trespass. Trespass for
an illegal purpose is a crime.
