I think that’s one of the reasons Amsterdam has an anti-squatting law which basically forces owners that don’t live at home for a certain period in a year to rent it.

Wouldn't this be a pro-squatting law ? Ie if you don't live in a property and leave it abandoned you risk people semi-legally squatting in it.
