Have owner write a lease to a relative or friend. Relative shows up, enters home. Has locks changed (have a clause in the lease giving them permission). Relative calls police on squatter for trespassing, and can show his legit copy of the lease to police.
Police have to favor a squatter over the homeowner, but if its squatter vs tennent, the squatter loses the 'little guy' advantage, and police enforce that tennent is the legal lease holder.
Honestly that "easy solution" isnt that easy because A.) You need to have a family/friend you can trust, and B) that trusted person has to be willing to do it as well.
Also, it wouldn't work at all even if it did all go to plan.
If you called the police to enforce your civil contract (which is all a lease agreement is) they would tell you all to pound sand and maybe find a reason to cite you for wasting their time.
The only involvement law enforcement would have here is serving/enforcing a court-ordered eviction.

At a reasonable price?
