Camelot Property Management Ltd. (Dutch: Camelot Beheer BV) is a vacant property management firm started in the Netherlands in 1993.[1][2] Camelot manages commercial and residential property on behalf of landlords and property developers, assigning people to occupy vacant buildings to deter squatters.[3][4]

Occupiers pay a deposit, a weekly management fee and are responsible for Council Tax. They are required to provide security and maintain the property.[5] The occupiers do not have tenancy rights and have less rights than squatters.[6][7]

Camelot also provide squat eviction services and security guards. The company successfully lobbied the French government to introduce anti-squatting legislation.[8]
