There are varying degrees of trespass. However, in its simplest form trespass is defined as any unlawful entry to property of another. A person who has unlawfully entered the property of another has no right to be on the property.

A person who has a right to come onto the land may become a trespasser by committing wrongful acts after entry such as a person who entered with permission but then was asked to leave, or, a person who entered the property to attend a yard sale who then entered the house without permission.

My property someone signed illegal lease?

If you own the property, then you have the exclusive right to grant possession to others in the form of a lease or other rental agreement (oral or written). Anyone on your property without your authority, or under license from someone without authority, is a trespasser and can be summarily removed. If you do nothing, the trespasser may eventually claim that you have lost the right to remove them, and thus trigger issues of "adverse possession", meaning you could lose the ownership of the property. You should contact an attorney in your area to discuss the specific facts and local laws as may relate to your situation, but you should do it quickly.
