Just like how a rape survivor has to go to court because we have the right to see our accuser, a tenant with a lease is given the benefit of the doubt; the problem is when the lease has the name of someone that isn't even the owner or an authorized party of the owner. I like what Florida did where a landlord can sign an affidavit confirming to the courts "they have no valid lease, they're trespassers and fraudsters" (essentially) so the police are then forced to do their job.

You want the quickest and easiest way to get rid of squatters? Here's how. Years ago (back in the 80's) this happened to a friends parents. They came back from vacation to find some people in their home. After a few weeks with no help from law enforcement my buddy and I bought a keg of beer, took it to the local Hells Angels chapter and told them the story. The house was cleared out in in couple of hours.
The guy from Northern California who moved into the apartment to get the person out , I think I seen a video of how he got the squatters out of his property and the person squatting just happened to be a corrections officer. He ended up just moving into his house and moved her stuff (correction officer) onto the driveway. Now he has a business removing squatters.
do you understand the foundation of why the system reacts to "squatters" this way it has to do with personal and private property a place where someone lives is personal property and a place someone owns is private property the reason the system protects these people is because there is no way to eliminate the rights of the squatter without it fundamentally impacting the rights of everyone's personal property laws meaning if squatters werent catered to your landlord couls kick you out in the middle of a blizzard out of nowhere and if you didnt leave he could call the police and have you put in jail same day theres a reason nobody has every seriously tried to change the law because its impossible to without destroying personal property rights of all citizens in subtle and drastic ways

@@myphd-myprisonhistorydiplo691 🤦 That is home invasion you somnambulist LEGALLY "home invasion" is when someone trespasses in a home, somepl that someone lives in, wether they are there or not. A rented property that is not being used is not a "home". "Squatting" is not a charge, and the charge for squatting is not "home invasion" because squatters BY DEFINITION are not home invading, the charge of you get in trouble for squatting is trespassing. It is LEGALLY different because going inside of someone's residence, where they freaking live (home invasion), is seen as worse then going inside an empty place that are renting or have abandoned. Squatting: staying in an abandoned or unused rental, etc Home invasion: literally staying in someone's residence.
If you are on the brink of being homeless, the last thing you need is a mountain of stuff and multiple animals to care for. Sell or discard everything that isn't absolutely critical and become as minimalist as possible.
The crazy thing is that squatters are not regular homeless people, they are professionals of crime at doing this. All these squatters HAVE their eyes on a few uninhibited houses lined up for when they inevitably get kicked out after months and then go on and live in the next house until they get kicked out again
When I was a young woman living with my two children in Arkansas, early 80's, I recall people being evicted and all it took was a notice posted by the sheriff on the door that the resident had two weeks to leave the property or they would be subject to arrest for failure to vacate. I do not recall anyone staying past two weeks because the sheriff would be there asap. My how things have changed.
Squatting Enforcers would be a great idea. Get in, clean out the freeloading animals and get out. Nice and easy. But these guys were too nice. Having a pleasant conversation with the freeloader over tea and biscuit and paying for his hot and storage is stupid. Get him out!
I've heard if you offer them a lease for an $1/month, most will jump at it, then you have a lease where you can legally evict them. With conditions on the lease of course, lots of conditions where they can't possibly meet them....but the real deal is to abolish that ridiculous old law.
Wow this story was so crazy it almost made me feel bad for the landlords... except for the whole other stories of landlords using software to illegally coordinate rent increases across the country or having companies buy up residences to ensure that a permanent segment of society can only ever be renters in perpetuity or how land developers often say they can't be bothered to build more housing b/c rent is just way to low for them to make a 1000% profit once they pay for permits
I used to rent homes n I NEVER allowed anyone to stay 1 day past what they had paid. I'm so glad someone has finally made a business out of this. Although I had a twist on this. The police always back up the person physically in the house so you have to physically get them out. I would use bug bombs and as they ran out my guy with the gas mask would go in and change the locks, he had a legal lease. Now when the squatters called the police and the police showed up my guy was the one on the inside and they told the squatters they have to take it to civil court.
I had an employee who own several apartments and had a renter just stop paying rent. It took her almost a year to get the squatter out because they knew how to work the system. Every time a court date would be imminent they would request and receive a delay for a variety of fraudulent reasons. This and other situations convinced me never to be a landlord. After missing the second payment I would have thrown their stuff out on the curb and changed the locks regardless of the law.
what were the fraudulent reasons, seems like present that to the court and they're in violation of a court order which works for them because they get a new place to live and the cops will take them there.
@@mookieblaelocker6504Sounds like justification for any crime by a criminal. Imagine nobody using a car so I’ll just take it. That money in your wallet isn’t being used so let me help. The fact that anyone would post like this means they were raised in a monkey house
What's funnier is you will pay taxes on something your entire life that you will never own. Instead of attacking your fellow man, go after the system that creates these problems.
From an attorney “Burglary and breaking and entering are both serious offenses characterized by unauthorized access to private property. If an individual discreetly enters another person's home at night without permission to steal valuables, this is classified as burglary. On the other hand, breaking and entering could involve a person forcefully entering a locked property, not necessarily with intent to steal, but perhaps out of curiosity or for shelter. Both actions are illegal and carry different legal ramifications.” I don’t get it. Isn’t squatting clearly illegal , under the Breaking and Entering clause?? So if I Break and Enter and then occupy the property I can’t be arrested or removed and am in fact protected by law. But if I Break and Enter and maybe steal a sandwich 🥪 from the refrigerator I’ve now committed Burglary and then can be arrested? Hmm 🤔 WTH! 🤦
the squatters usually show a fake lease and probably some fraudulent documents along with showing the cops they have personal items inside which brings in landlord/tenant laws which protect legitimate tenants from slumlords.
@@bc1969214 yeah absolutely absurd. The law as I read it clearly states it’s illegal as “intent for shelter” But these squatters are allowed to stay even without producing any documents. This is happening in all states too. It’s clearly illegal breaking and entering.
@@geoleo2597 I'd say you would need to check on the laws in that state or city. I think sometimes it's what the individual officers feel like doing. If it was my property I think the first thing would be a stop by the police station to see what the roadblock is along with an attorney consult on local laws. Depending on the state's adverse possession laws (there's the difference between squatting and trespassing), someone could make a claim if they've been there for sometime. That said, it seems like having a security system, camera footage on all entry points and a helpful neighbor watching the property is good insurance. Long story short, if they can't get in, no squatter situation.
@@bc1969214 yeah local laws vary but it seems nation wide squatters can legally just take over a property and claim it for themselves. But again I’d assume by most states laws it’s clearly breaking and entering. It doesn’t make sense
But they didn’t break or enter. They didn’t show any documentation. They rented a room and just never left. That is neither a squatter nor a home invader. Legal grey areas. What are hotels allowed to do if you don’t pay?
Used to own rentals. Had x2 deadbeats who did not pay rent. Almost every squatter has a car or bike or something they use. You disable their car they cannot work or do things. Mine had a trailer and they Collected scrap metal for money. I stole their trailer and dumped it down a gully. They moved out.
Without his trailer he used for junking he’d never be able to afford rent. How did it get him to move out? Also you dumped a trailer in the gully? Illegally?
This is the inevitable result of the housing crisis. As a landlord I think that these loopholes in the law should be closed but we also need to address the bigger problem.
@@mookieblaelocker6504 ooo, landlord zing! America has been just fine for centuries with landlords and tenants. The problems now are the lack of a living minimum wage and house prices that are too high. Giant corporations have caused all of this and need to be locked out of real estate. Bring down the cost of entering home ownership and the rent prices will come down, too.
3:13 You are in fact WRONG. The quickest and cheapest method is to assign yourself a lease to the property as the tenant for a month, move in; move their stuff out, change the locks; and if they try to come back in. Well this is America, we have the right to defend our homes with lethal force when someone is attempting to break in.
It's not that easy. Were you to do that then the property that you move into becomes your primary residence and the property that you primarily live in becomes a secondary property which causes property insurance complications. Because your secondary property, in the eyes of the insurer, will not be occupied full time its risk factor increases and the insurance industry uses that to charge you a hefty sum for insurance.
It's not that complicated. It's one month lease the time to get in change the lock and regain control of the property. As far as the insurance is concerned it's not different from going on vacation.
@@lyndaek99 it is complicated because savvy squatters make sure that one of them is there at all times. this causes problems when you try to get them out they call the police.
I’ve worked at a hotel for almost 5 years. We occasionally have people who check out late which isn’t a big problem. We had a few individuals who refuse to leave and won’t pay for the extension on the stay. We had one mentally challenged knit wits and his credit card was charged when he stayed. The next day , he did the same thing but froze his credit card. The assistant manager gave him a choice to leave or the police would assist him to leave. The police arrived and he decided to leave on his own. He was served a ‘ No Trespass ‘ notice. What is the difference between squatters and our problem child ?
That is the question that should be asked. Why can’t it just be a trespasser charge? I guess cause technically an Airbnb isn’t a commercial property? So they still fall under tenants? Cause you are technically subleasing an Airbnb.

Throw his things out and claim it back. Gonna let this wimp take over?💀 better yet, those items he brought in belong to you unless they show proof of ownership.
Seems like a simpler solution would be, in cases where you own rentals or empty houses, to proactively "lease" the house to a family member for some paltry amount, and write into the lease that it supersedes any other leases during the term of the contracted lease.
Those - private property no trespassing signs are very cheap. I highly recommend posting clearly at entrance and on backside of property if you own one. Cops are even more limited in what they can do for you if you don't have one. And that pertains to more than just squatters.
If the AirBnB owner rents out the unit to a new guest then the squatter doi not have a conctract and as such the new renter can move in there and claim the unit.
Great! So now squatters can receive a cash bribe. Don't expect squatting to end soon by that logic. Also, they are so concerned about the squatter becoming homeless. Where were they when the squatter caused the rightful tenant/homeowner to be homeless? This system is so out of whack now that we try to address it logically.
Have a video on it on my channel but I had a tenant who had to be evicted, it got all the way to where the sheriff kicked him out...and then he moved out of the unit itself and into the shed in the backyard !

@@P.90.603 None of that has anything to do with people not leaving other peoples homes. The comparison you were implying was about Colonialism against Native Americans, which has nothing to do with low lives that squat at other peoples property.
In my jurisdiction (in Ohio), if they were invited in and established residency (basically staying there as a primary residence for several weeks - no mail, no lease, just clothes and personal items), it's a civil issue and they must move out completely and voluntarily or be evicted. However, if someone shows up uninvited and enters a home, I don't care how long they have been there...we're charging them with burglary.
Here is the basic premise. Tenant rights laws were passed due to abusive landlord practices such as kicking out tenants with no notice, or forcing rent increases. These practices were so egregious that legislation was oassed to protect tenants from being removed from their homes without due process. Unfortunately, the law assumes the tenant is a legal occupant and there is no recouse in the law for illegal squatters.
@@AWKward-Forty-Two And this does not take into consideration of when you let somebody stay or stay with you, you can't tell them to leave without court order process. You invited them in.
@@AWKward-Forty-Twothere you go. Because technically they aren’t squatters and this has nothing to do with squatter rights. Under law they’re considered tenants without a lease because they paid the airbnb fee to be there. And now they just aren’t paying. A tenant who cannot pay rent. The problem is, there should be separate laws for motel, hotel, and airbnb but there isn’t. They can keep charging you. Maybe get police involved if they’re damaging or disturbing other people. But that’s up to the local authorities on how they want to handle a situation like that. In the end, everyone needs to go somewhere. And there’s no new projects or shelters being built. So people do stuff like this. They don’t want to. You legit have a record. You fail to pay rent, every other renter knows.
Some states have made a new law that forces the squatter to Produce a Valid lease with in 48hrs or they are Under Arrest most leave right away know an Arrest is only 48hrs away.
depending on the state law, people can do an adverse possession claim. More common are neighbors thinking they know where the property boundaries are and using your property until a survey is done, hopefully soon enough.
@@bc1969214 Those people have no legal basis for any claim to be there. They never asked the property owner and do not have his permission ever to be there.

@@bc1969214Yep. California though has a higher bar of requiring unpaid property taxes. Property must generally be defended to remain yours. Finding distressed properties owing back taxes not in foreclosure or pre-foreclosure in states other than California and then using adverse possession to acquire them is a thing, but not all that common.
squatter rights have nothing to do with this scenario. These people aren’t squatters. They aren’t squatting. They rented an arbnb and refuse to leave. That’s a tenant. Or a customer. A squatter can only squat in a seemingly abandoned residential. They can lay claim after 5 years of living there so long as no one else lays claim.

you misspelled "trespassers"
You are describing a crappy police department who does not want to do their job. Its not a trespass issue.
The guy from Northern California who moved into the apartment to get the person out , I think I seen a video of how he got the squatters out of his property and the person squatting just happened to be a corrections officer. He ended up just moving into his house and moved her stuff (correction officer) onto the driveway. Now he has a business removing squatters.
Why do squatters always make a mess?
They have no respect for anyone, including themselves.
It's not their property. If they're willfully trespassing and squatting, why would they care enough to refrain from causing damage?
Resentment.
Blacktivities
Not all do
This guy went from having to deal with his own squatters to helping everyone else deal with them. Hes an absolute hero i remember the original video
Unbelievable the maneuvering and catering done to people who want to live rent free.
Not the hoarding of livable space by few
do you understand the foundation of why the system reacts to "squatters" this way it has to do with personal and private property a place where someone lives is personal property and a place someone owns is private property the reason the system protects these people is because there is no way to eliminate the rights of the squatter without it fundamentally impacting the rights of everyone's personal property laws meaning if squatters werent catered to your landlord couls kick you out in the middle of a blizzard out of nowhere and if you didnt leave he could call the police and have you put in jail same day
theres a reason nobody has every seriously tried to change the law because its impossible to without destroying personal property rights of all citizens in subtle and drastic ways
Air BNBs = quickest and easiest way for a squatter to gain access and control of your property.

Home invasion!!! Home invaders!!! Period!!
The whole thing sounds messy
Was anyone home? Nobody lives there?
Free real estate😊
Home invasion and squatting are two different things, a home is occupied and lived in
@@whatabouttheearth huh???
So if I go lay up in your home and claim it as my own while you are on vacation you would not feel like I’m invading YOUR HOME? Be honest and think long and hard
@@myphd-myprisonhistorydiplo691
🤦 That is home invasion you somnambulist
LEGALLY "home invasion" is when someone trespasses in a home, somepl that someone lives in, wether they are there or not.
A rented property that is not being used is not a "home". "Squatting" is not a charge, and the charge for squatting is not "home invasion" because squatters BY DEFINITION are not home invading, the charge of you get in trouble for squatting is trespassing.
It is LEGALLY different because going inside of someone's residence, where they freaking live (home invasion), is seen as worse then going inside an empty place that are renting or have abandoned.
Squatting: staying in an abandoned or unused rental, etc
Home invasion: literally staying in someone's residence.
If you are on the brink of being homeless, the last thing you need is a mountain of stuff and multiple animals to care for. Sell or discard everything that isn't absolutely critical and become as minimalist as possible.
On the verge? The guy is homeless, he doesn't have a home, he is squatting illegally in a home he does not have any legal right to.
Don't these people have parents they can mooch off of?
The crazy thing is that squatters are not regular homeless people, they are professionals of crime at doing this. All these squatters HAVE their eyes on a few uninhibited houses lined up for when they inevitably get kicked out after months and then go on and live in the next house until they get kicked out again
When I was a young woman living with my two children in Arkansas, early 80's, I recall people being evicted and all it took was a notice posted by the sheriff on the door that the resident had two weeks to leave the property or they would be subject to arrest for failure to vacate. I do not recall anyone staying past two weeks because the sheriff would be there asap. My how things have changed.
Now when people decide to go on vacation they need to make sure someone is preventing squatters from moving in so they don’t come home to a disaster
It's disgusting that it's come to this. Can't even go on vacation 🤦🏾♀️
Lmfao fail😊
That's not squatting, that's home invasion

Squatting Enforcers would be a great idea. Get in, clean out the freeloading animals and get out. Nice and easy. But these guys were too nice. Having a pleasant conversation with the freeloader over tea and biscuit and paying for his hot and storage is stupid. Get him out!
They were on camera. I imagine the conversation would be quite different otherwise.
Tough guy
you can afford a pregnant gf and 5 dogs but cant get a place to stay for yourself? Sounds like quite the catch from the dating pool.
I've heard if you offer them a lease for an $1/month, most will jump at it, then you have a lease where you can legally evict them. With conditions on the lease of course, lots of conditions where they can't possibly meet them....but the real deal is to abolish that ridiculous old law.
when they now have a legitimate lease they gain lots of new landlord/tenant rights.
Wow this story was so crazy it almost made me feel bad for the landlords... except for the whole other stories of landlords using software to illegally coordinate rent increases across the country or having companies buy up residences to ensure that a permanent segment of society can only ever be renters in perpetuity or how land developers often say they can't be bothered to build more housing b/c rent is just way to low for them to make a 1000% profit once they pay for permits
Boom
I used to rent homes n I NEVER allowed anyone to stay 1 day past what they had paid. I'm so glad someone has finally made a business out of this. Although I had a twist on this. The police always back up the person physically in the house so you have to physically get them out. I would use bug bombs and as they ran out my guy with the gas mask would go in and change the locks, he had a legal lease. Now when the squatters called the police and the police showed up my guy was the one on the inside and they told the squatters they have to take it to civil court.
I had an employee who own several apartments and had a renter just stop paying rent. It took her almost a year to get the squatter out because they knew how to work the system. Every time a court date would be imminent they would request and receive a delay for a variety of fraudulent reasons. This and other situations convinced me never to be a landlord. After missing the second payment I would have thrown their stuff out on the curb and changed the locks regardless of the law.
I had ancestors who were driven out of what is now Tennessee and Georgia by squatters
@@garyjohnson8327 Well played, sir.
what were the fraudulent reasons, seems like present that to the court and they're in violation of a court order which works for them because they get a new place to live and the cops will take them there.
Tenant/eviction issues are not squatters.
@@redwolfexr When they stop paying rent, what's the difference?
Imagine paying property taxes on a property that has squatters in it and you can't do anything about it.
Then when the taxes are not paid, then the State kicks them out...

Imagine owning a home you don’t live in and getting mad someone used it
@@mookieblaelocker6504Sounds like justification for any crime by a criminal. Imagine nobody using a car so I’ll just take it. That money in your wallet isn’t being used so let me help. The fact that anyone would post like this means they were raised in a monkey house
What's funnier is you will pay taxes on something your entire life that you will never own. Instead of attacking your fellow man, go after the system that creates these problems.
From an attorney
“Burglary and breaking and entering are both serious offenses characterized by unauthorized access to private property. If an individual discreetly enters another person's home at night without permission to steal valuables, this is classified as burglary. On the other hand, breaking and entering could involve a person forcefully entering a locked property, not necessarily with intent to steal, but perhaps out of curiosity or for shelter. Both actions are illegal and carry different legal ramifications.”
I don’t get it. Isn’t squatting clearly illegal , under the Breaking and Entering clause??
So if I Break and Enter and then occupy the property I can’t be arrested or removed and am in fact protected by law. But if I Break and Enter and maybe steal a sandwich 🥪 from the refrigerator I’ve now committed Burglary and then can be arrested?
Hmm 🤔 WTH! 🤦
the squatters usually show a fake lease and probably some fraudulent documents along with showing the cops they have personal items inside which brings in landlord/tenant laws which protect legitimate tenants from slumlords.
@@bc1969214 yeah absolutely absurd. The law as I read it clearly states it’s illegal as “intent for shelter” But these squatters are allowed to stay even without producing any documents. This is happening in all states too. It’s clearly illegal breaking and entering.
@@geoleo2597 I'd say you would need to check on the laws in that state or city. I think sometimes it's what the individual officers feel like doing. If it was my property I think the first thing would be a stop by the police station to see what the roadblock is along with an attorney consult on local laws. Depending on the state's adverse possession laws (there's the difference between squatting and trespassing), someone could make a claim if they've been there for sometime.
That said, it seems like having a security system, camera footage on all entry points and a helpful neighbor watching the property is good insurance. Long story short, if they can't get in, no squatter situation.
@@bc1969214 yeah local laws vary but it seems nation wide squatters can legally just take over a property and claim it for themselves. But again I’d assume by most states laws it’s clearly breaking and entering. It doesn’t make sense
But they didn’t break or enter. They didn’t show any documentation. They rented a room and just never left. That is neither a squatter nor a home invader. Legal grey areas. What are hotels allowed to do if you don’t pay?
These politicians are all talk no action.

Used to own rentals. Had x2 deadbeats who did not pay rent. Almost every squatter has a car or bike or something they use. You disable their car they cannot work or do things. Mine had a trailer and they Collected scrap metal for money. I stole their trailer and dumped it down a gully. They moved out.

That's inventive!

@@mookieblaelocker6504 ooo, landlord zing! America has been just fine for centuries with landlords and tenants.

Bring down the cost of entering home ownership and the rent prices will come down, too.

You are in fact WRONG. The quickest and cheapest method is to assign yourself a lease to the property as the tenant for a month, move in; move their stuff out, change the locks; and if they try to come back in. Well this is America, we have the right to defend our homes with lethal force when someone is attempting to break in.
It's not that easy. Were you to do that then the property that you move into becomes your primary residence and the property that you primarily live in becomes a secondary property which causes property insurance complications. Because your secondary property, in the eyes of the insurer, will not be occupied full time its risk factor increases and the insurance industry uses that to charge you a hefty sum for insurance.
It's not that complicated. It's one month lease the time to get in change the lock and regain control of the property. As far as the insurance is concerned it's not different from going on vacation.
@@lyndaek99 it is complicated because savvy squatters make sure that one of them is there at all times. this causes problems when you try to get them out they call the police.
As they now have a legal right to live there, you would be imprisoned for assault if you harm them.
I’ve worked at a hotel for almost 5 years. We occasionally have people who check out late which isn’t a big problem. We had a few individuals who refuse to leave and won’t pay for the extension on the stay. We had one mentally challenged knit wits and his credit card was charged when he stayed. The next day , he did the same thing but froze his credit card. The assistant manager gave him a choice to leave or the police would assist him to leave. The police arrived and he decided to leave on his own. He was served a ‘ No Trespass ‘ notice. What is the difference between squatters and our problem child ?
That is the question that should be asked. Why can’t it just be a trespasser charge? I guess cause technically an Airbnb isn’t a commercial property? So they still fall under tenants? Cause you are technically subleasing an Airbnb.

i often wondered when watching these situations why the homeowner didnt just pay someone to lease the property legitimate for 60 days that would be someone the squatters wouldnt want to be in the house with. i can think of a few folks.

Seems like a simpler solution would be, in cases where you own rentals or empty houses, to proactively "lease" the house to a family member for some paltry amount, and write into the lease that it supersedes any other leases during the term of the contracted lease.
Only in America can you own your own property and have someone come in and live for free. All while YOU have to pay utilities and taxes
If you don’t live there you wasting your money anyways
Those - private property no trespassing signs are very cheap. I highly recommend posting clearly at entrance and on backside of property if you own one. Cops are even more limited in what they can do for you if you don't have one. And that pertains to more than just squatters.

Yooo I rented that exact Airbnb a few months ago
No witnesses = no crime.

If the AirBnB owner rents out the unit to a new guest then the squatter doi not have a conctract and as such the new renter can move in there and claim the unit.
I wouldn't want to step foot in that mess, not even for free. That's a dumpster.
“Times are hard, let’s have a kid”
Great! So now squatters can receive a cash bribe. Don't expect squatting to end soon by that logic. Also, they are so concerned about the squatter becoming homeless. Where were they when the squatter caused the rightful tenant/homeowner to be homeless? This system is so out of whack now that we try to address it logically.
It's funny how this doesn't work if I just up and decide to live in your car.

In my jurisdiction (in Ohio), if they were invited in and established residency (basically staying there as a primary residence for several weeks - no mail, no lease, just clothes and personal items), it's a civil issue and they must move out completely and voluntarily or be evicted. However, if someone shows up uninvited and enters a home, I don't care how long they have been there...we're charging them with burglary.
Of all these videos of squatters, not one has told how this is not just plain trespassing!
Here is the basic premise. Tenant rights laws were passed due to abusive landlord practices such as kicking out tenants with no notice, or forcing rent increases. These practices were so egregious that legislation was oassed to protect tenants from being removed from their homes without due process. Unfortunately, the law assumes the tenant is a legal occupant and there is no recouse in the law for illegal squatters.
@@AWKward-Forty-Two And this does not take into consideration of when you let somebody stay or stay with you, you can't tell them to leave without court order process. You invited them in.
@@AWKward-Forty-Twothere you go. Because technically they aren’t squatters and this has nothing to do with squatter rights.
Under law they’re considered tenants without a lease because they paid the airbnb fee to be there. And now they just aren’t paying. A tenant who cannot pay rent. The problem is, there should be separate laws for motel, hotel, and airbnb but there isn’t.
They can keep charging you. Maybe get police involved if they’re damaging or disturbing other people. But that’s up to the local authorities on how they want to handle a situation like that. In the end, everyone needs to go somewhere. And there’s no new projects or shelters being built. So people do stuff like this. They don’t want to. You legit have a record. You fail to pay rent, every other renter knows.
Some states have made a new law that forces the squatter to Produce a Valid lease with in 48hrs or they are Under Arrest most leave right away know an Arrest is only 48hrs away.
Real estate fraud is the problem. Those people don't own that property
depending on the state law, people can do an adverse possession claim. More common are neighbors thinking they know where the property boundaries are and using your property until a survey is done, hopefully soon enough.
@@bc1969214 Those people have no legal basis for any claim to be there. They never asked the property owner and do not have his permission ever to be there.
@@bc1969214Yep. California though has a higher bar of requiring unpaid property taxes. Property must generally be defended to remain yours.

Whoever signed the "Squatter" rights laws into effect should should be IMPEACHED & IMPRISONED.
They are long dead. This is a thing from the 1800s
u should move to china if u dont like rights
squatter rights have nothing to do with this scenario. These people aren’t squatters. They aren’t squatting. They rented an arbnb and refuse to leave. That’s a tenant. Or a customer. A squatter can only squat in a seemingly abandoned residential. They can lay claim after 5 years of living there so long as no one else lays claim.
It was a law put in place for people who needed homes and people would unalive and have no one to leave them too.
But hey, maybe they changing the definition to use as propaganda to upset people enough to change the law and let the bank take it back instead. Maybe.
