Correct, but the problem they have is proving that they owned the property in the first place. The rusty key they carry is not proof so they need land title or evidence of residency. That is why they have never managed right of return in the last 66 years, because they never ever lived there.
The right to return has nothing to do with the ownership of property.
Then this means that I have the right of return to your home and you cant do a thing about it can you. Because that is how stupid your remark is. The right of return hinges on property ownership or legal habitation. BUT the right of return is not embodied in International Law and it is up to every nation to decide how it is implemented.
Right of return - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The
right of return is a principle which is drawn from the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, intended to enable people to return to, and re-enter, their country of origin.
The 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (read together with its 1967 Protocol) does not give refugees a right to return, but rather prohibits return (refoulment) to a country where he or she faces serious threats to his or her life or freedom:.
[1] The Convention binds the many countries which have ratified it. A list of those countries can be found at:

By contrast the
right of return has not passed into customary international law, although it remains an important aspirational human right.
Instead, international law gives each country the right to decide for itself to whom it will give citizenship:
So the Palestinians have no actual legal right of return

Main article:
Palestinian right of return
Supporters of a Palestinian right of return argue that refugees, displaced persons, and all their descendants have a right to return and a right to property they left or were forced to leave in what is now Israel and the
Palestinian territories (formerly part of the
British Mandate of Palestine) as result of the
1948 Arab–Israeli War and the 1967
Six-Day war.

As a rebuttal to UNGA resolution 194 being used in support, opponents note that
General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding and usually have no force as international law.
