Maybe a reframing: this house was originally a share house with multiple people renting it. She forced them all out. That’s not just stealing the house from its owner (and say what you like, justifiable or not, she was attempting to steal the house, and it wasn’t her first attempt), she stole available housing from other potential tenants.
Sometimes landlordism can be a morally bankrupt institution, and a tenant could be a reprehensible person who doesn’t deserve a whole lot of sympathy.
