Squatters could move in the day after the property becomes empty. Really it depends on when it is noticed the house is unoccupied.
Sometimes houses can't be sold for months because of legal BS (happened with my moms house).

Yes, there are always edge cases. Wouldn't it be great if there were no corporate landlords and the problem was small enough to worry about those?
