How would a lease supersede a squatter if a deed doesn’t. That makes little sense. The hired squatter roommate would work.

Also, they often have proof they live there by utilities or mail in their name.

In my municipality they won't put utilities in your name without a deed recorded with the clerk of court or a notarized rental agreement. You may be able to phony up a lease but getting someone to notarize it is a different pot of crawfish.

They often also have a fake lease which is presented to police, then it becomes a “civil matter” and they stay out of it.

The more sophisticated squatters get a DL with the address then it gets tougher.
Many courts are extremely tenant friendly and will continually delay eviction and will come down hard on the “landlord” for harassment and discrimination.

It’s ABSOLUTELY BULLS%#T but in many areas, it can be a nightmare.
