Is it illegal to break into houses?

Yes, it is illegal to break into houses. Breaking into houses refers to the act of entering other people's houses or non-public places without the consent of the owner or lessee. This behavior not only infringes on others' private space and sense of security, but also may lead to safety accidents and property losses.

In China, breaking into houses violates the People's Republic of China (PRC) Public Security Administration Punishment Law and other laws and regulations, and will be subject to administrative punishment or criminal responsibility. According to the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Public Security Administration Punishment, burglaries can be punished with warnings, fines, etc. If the circumstances are serious, criminal responsibility may be investigated, which constitutes "the crime of illegally invading houses" and is sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention.

Therefore, we should respect other people's private space, don't break into houses, call the police in time and safeguard our legitimate rights and interests.
