    I have a friend that had someone squat in one of his rental houses. The squatter was a gal, and a real bar fly. My friend tried to get her evicted but started to get the run around. He started following her every night from the bar. He kept his distance so she couldn't ID him, but close enough she knew she was being followed. After a week, he followed her home, waiting about thirty minutes and throw a rock through a window. She was gone the next day. He said, "replacing one window was way cheaper and faster than going through the legal system."

The idea that a person that had no business in the place to begin with is not immediately evicted because they have “no place to go” blows my mind. The fact that the squatter is still in there when the police come is about as arrogant as they come. I don’t know how you keep your cool so well…I commend you for that.

      A very good idea you came up with. As far as I'm concerned, the tenant becomes a squatter when they stop paying rent. I rent my homes on a month-to-month basis only. The rental contract they sign says if the stove, refrigerator or a/c window units break, they will not be replaced, so take care of them. The utilities are in my name and the tenant pays me for utilities plus an extra 10% above the cost of the utilities. If I have to go to court to remove them, I will request a writ for their property, with exceptions, clothing, any property they claim is for business purposes they can take out of the house, the rest stays in the house to cover my costs and lost rent. Lucky for me, Texas is a Red State, so far.

Finally the day came when the police went to get them out, the police officers didn't want to do it, although they did. One officer was nervous, told me he "never had to do this before". Was a guy probably around 50, and his niece, she was probably 25. Got them out, but they knew cops were coming, so they trashed the place. Threw eggs on the walls and ceilings.

    In the 50s My parents moved from Westminster Co to Burbank Ca after my Father Graduated from the Law School there. They listed their house with an agent and the agent kept telling them that no one was interested in buying their home and the market was down. That went on for a while until they got a Christmas card from their old neighbor who told them their house was in great shape and the new tenant is very quiet . That is when they called the agent and asked for an answer . My Father told the agent" get the tenant out or loose your real estate license at the least " He told her he would call the Sheriff because it turned out the tenant was a family member who was allowed to squat with permission of the agent while my parents were paying two mortgages and having no money for anything else (beans and rice diet) So there is a post here about never renting to a Lawyer ,I can say it can go bad for anyone. Another Agent sold the house instantly as there was no issues in the market place. That was about 65 years ago. The things that people do to each other have not changed much in the Denver area.

    Dad was a landlord in CA where renters rule. It took 6 mo and thousands of $ on legal fees and lost rent as well as fixing up the trashed units so my dad would pay them to move out. He said you had to take your ego completely out of it and suck it up to pay people who owed HIM money to get them out. There seemed to be a magic number for each set of tenants. Some would move for as little as $600, but others had to be paid $ 3,000. Even then it was cheaper than the eviction process. They got bonuses for not wrecking the place. I asked him how he dealt with them without betraying the intense contempt he must have felt, and he said 2 things helped: He had heart disease so he didn't want to aggravate himself over it and potentially cause himself problems. The second thing was not to take or treat it personally. It was just business and negotiating requires a neutral affect so the squatters would be amenable and not think they were being looked down on. My dad was a very intelligent man.

      @Necrosexual I think homelessness is an issue, but I'm not sure I understand your dichotomy. Landlords are people with money, and interest, in properties. They're people who maintain the properties, and own property, making it more available for people who otherwise couldn't afford anywhere to stay. Buying a house is a lot more expensive than simply the mortgage cost. They're not sitting on 10 empty houses. That's a financial loss, and makes no sense.
      By contrast, a squatter, or homeless, have zero money. They aren't going to buy a house simply because it's vacant. They either can't afford it, or don't want to. There are some people who truly would rather squat, and steal, than pay for anything. There are also others who are mentally ill and not capable of caring for their own financial needs. None of these people would suddenly be able to own/maintain a property without someone caring for them. So...who's going to foot that bill? If the properties aren't maintained, the people in them would be in danger. I don't think it should be the burden of a single land-owner. Certainly I think we, as a society, could do more. I do not think small-business landholders are the issue....I do have a more nuanced opinion about massive companies buying up properties to rent, though.

    My husband unexpectedly passed away on March 17, 2020 from Sepsis which led to multi organ failure within one day. This happened just after we broke ground on building our dream home. Since we decided to rent a house until our house was finished, we only signed a lease for 1yr. The house was only available for 1 yr. Since our new house was unable to be continued cause I couldn't afford it without his income, I knew I still had to move out of the house we were renting soon. Due to covid and the fact that many people were not paying their rent and landlords were not able to evict, I couldn't find a place to move to anywhere within 1 hour of my current location that Iv lived in for over 26 yrs. I spoke to several landlords that I know and they all said throughout time that they had gone 6-8 months not receiving any rents payments and there was nothing they could do to evict people. Why did people think they could not pay rent? Especially when most of them were still working? It's a shame. That left me in a dire situation. Here I was paying my rent and busting my butt just to try to make ends meet and sacrificing so much just to do so on just my income. Not forgetting the fact that I was mentally and physically going through hell due to loosing my husband and becoming a widow in my early 40s. The law doesn't always protect the innocent or law abiding citizens. So worng! We also treated the house we were renting as ours, since it was our home, no excuses for a mess or destruction.

    I was told this on a wednesday, showed up there on thursday afternoon and told them I was changing the locks Saturday morning and they had two days to clear whatever was theirs out.
    Saturday morning I showed up and they tried to claim they could stay as they had talked to the courts on friday.
    Told them flat out I was not playing this game and see what happens if they try to stay and squat.
    They started to get aggressive so I took off my coat and they quickly stopped and were gone in under 20 minutes.
    So why did they stop and leave, well just so happens I was carrying that day and when they saw the gun they decided not to be aggressive and to get the heck out of there.
    I really believe they would have tried to stay if I was not carrying and calling the cops would have been a waste of time as they would have just said "this is a civil matter you have to take them to court"

    It really does feel great to finally be able to file that warrant of removal or get the judgment of eviction. During the moratorium we were so blessed. Out of 30 properties we only had one family to not pay rent. We were able to evict them during the moratorium because I was able to prove damages and they didn’t pay one copper penny towards the rent. They got me for about three months but I got them out.

    Years ago my mom bought a condo with her divorce settlement thinking she could be an "off-property" landlord and live elsewhere 200 miles away, and have a reasonable income stream into her retirement. You can guess what happened...the first tenants she rented to ended up being tenants from hell and through the eviction process they caused over $25k in damages. She got the eviction done eventually but did not have enough left to cover all those repairs and the only thing she could do was fix the most major issues and sell the place at a considerable loss. What was supposed to be an investment for her turned into nothing but a headache.

The landlord did a video tour of it to show all the damage. Seeing that type of experience and realizing how vindictive and malicious people could be made me realize I did not want to be a landlord.

      nope. road stops are the most dangerous 100%. They kill the most cops because most of he time nothing happens and you lower your guard. You can die from traffic, the car you stopped, the driver shooting you, a passenger shooting you, slip and fall from ice.
      This is why cops tend to freak out on traffic stops. Especially new cops. The police academy is basically telling them when they do and don't need a warrant and what will kill them.
      Law enforcement really is a shit job and the shit cops make it worse for the good ones.
