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 and a weekly management fee. They are required to provide security and maintain the property.[5] The occupiers do not have tenancy rights and have fewer rights than squatters.[6][7] Other companies offering similar property guardian services include Guardians of London, Ambika Security Ltd, Vacant Property Specialists and Ad-Hoc Property Management.[8]

Camelot also provide squat eviction services and security guards. The company successfully lobbied the French government to introduce anti-squatting legislation.[9]
