Dangerous to side too squarely with property owners. It would only take a few bad eggs for "fake squatter" scams to start cropping up all over the nation. There is a reason the laws are set up to favor defense. Unfortunately squatters take advantage of that, but if you stop and think about it, we're already too close to the alternative as it is, which is allowing fraudulent evictions to become profitable business for shady financial institutions. The defenses we have in place against that kind of scam, inadequate as they are, are what squatters are hiding behind. The last thing we need is to make these defenses even weaker.
Go break into alot of these famous people summer homes and politician's homes as well as judges homes . See how long this law would still be in effect.
The same thing almost happened to my grandmother's house after she passed away. A neighbor saw a minivan park at the driveway and when he saw a group of women bring out boxes, he immediately scared them away by threatening to shoot them because he knew that we still owned that house. The entire neighborhood kept watch of that house until we successfully sold it and the new owners moved in.
@@irynalebedyeva7900I saw another story that said they look up rental listings that provide the full address, drive through different neighborhoods and even look at death notices in the paper. It's best to not post the address on rental listings. Only provide it when you have an viewing scheduled. If the house is vacant, perhaps add cameras or timed lights. It's ridiculous this is necessary.

Poor girl, thanks to the neighbor who called her and let her know what was going on at her property. I can't think how much stress it could be trying to evicted the squatters !!
Because the law that was passed in most states has very vague terms as to figuring out who owns the property and who owns it. Because of that, it created a loophole where the paperwork can be easily falsified. *But just take what I said with a grain of salt.*
They have laws but liberal politicians order police to not arrest criminals or if arrested let thrm out immediately to do more crimes. Need to institute the broken window policy again, if they break one window they likely have broken several more noone knows about.
UNBELIEVABLE!!! The audacity of people is unreal these days. And the fact that "legally" they may have gotten away with it is even MORE troubling. WE MUST CHANGE THIS SYSTEM!
This needs to be classified as felony breaking and entering. And if the owner is on the property and the squatters come in despite warning, force should be authorized just as with a home invasion. For this issue to truly be resolved, squatters must face devastating consequences…

Never mind they’ll sell everything in your home. This is getting so ridiculous. My mom’s house is full of irreplaceable antiques. People can’t go away for a weekend anymore without someone stealing their house and then wrecking it when they leave. I’m moving in with her she’s 82 but she lives in mass I just looked up the laws there and you have to go through a legal eviction process which can take months not to mention you have to hire a lawyer.

All these agreements need to filed at the county office or city hall. If the paperwork is not at those offices then the squatter is immediately removed from the home.
burglary requires trespassing + theft any kind OR trespassing with the intent to commit a crime (usually a felony) we could solve this problem by making squatting itself a crime then it would in fact be burglary under the law
@@gyozanomics But isn't trespassing itself a crime? And isn't there an act of theft being committed since the squatter is stealing the home from the owner?
@@johns3491 - I was thinking the very same. The way it appears, if one is away from their home long enough, someone can enter and take over. What a nightmare!

It's not just Cali, this is happening all over the country. A soldier in Atlanta came home from a tour of duty last fall, to find a squatter in her home, took 4 months to get him out.
Never understood why squatters have more rights then home owners. That needs to be changed. She should get camera put up outside and all inside of the house.
Squatters tried to move into one of my aunts rental. Little did the squatters know that they messed with the wrong family. There is nothing like 20+ angry people busting down a door and bum rush the squatters. Let’s just say the squatters were handled in a way they will never forget. ;)
That's the way it should be. It's trespassing plain and simple. If I come home and someone is in my house they don't have any rights to stay ( gotta love Newfoundland)
How in the living hell can this happen? There absolutely has to be some immediate legal recourse for a homeowner to stop squatters from moving into their home. What kind of law protects the criminal? This is why California is in so much trouble.
We had a squatter in our home when we transferred to the west coast. We rented our home instead of selling it because we wanted to move back into it when our tour was completed. During the time between us moving out and tenants moving in, a squatter broke in and decided to live there. We didn't call the cops, we didn't call the news, we called a friend (6'5 and 245 pounds, a BIG guy) and he went over with a baseball bat and his side arm attached to his belt. The squatter left withing seconds of Matt walking in to the house. No fuss, no mess.
I like your method. I've also heard of owners inviting their biker gang friends over during the night to throw a huge party and barging into the rooms the squatters were in. Squatters immediately left XD

I helped a friend get rid of her squatters. 15 of us with my 3 German shepherds in the middle of the night. Of course no neighbors called the cops, we gave them a hint ahead of time. We dumped their stuff in a dumpster we had delivered that day. We "convinced" them if they came back to the neighborhood, they would be met with more dogs and more people. Acting as a vigilante is the only way to deal with squatters until the laws change.
I just seen a video where the neighborhood went an took care of business on they're own street! Politely told the squatters if they came back, it's not going to be pretty! Helps a lot when u have great neighbors, band together cause I bet u they get the message. Great job 👍
@@jrsforest187 Depends on how much they ruined the house, most of them don't clean up after themselves, so you can imagine the stench, stains, etc. Even after cleaning, the memory remains.
@@Namath1000 I'd imagine if the house was owned by a homeowner/land lord, they can just get documents from them to prove the house was vacant before being broken into, but for some reason it's either not a factor in the investigation or dismissed. Otherwise, if the property is owned by banks or the state, it shouldn't be possible to move in either, because it's still the property of X. I can't possibly imagine how this is allowed, unless it's deliberate.
I went through this once in my life as I'm a real estate developer. I simply put into service an ADT Home Security Alarm System with a working telephone line to the property. Once these Squatters trip the alarm ADT will call the home and ask for the Security Password and since they won't know the password the Police are dispatched to the home and you are also immediately notified. Meaning that anyone caught in that home even with a made up lease are automatically arrested for burglary. End of my squatters problem...👌
Thanks for the clever tip Joseph. don't mess with your property! Its common sense really. You need to have a watchful eye on the home. thankfully this victim did, indirectly which saved her.
Iv seen a case where they moved in on a millionaire mansion n was immediately arrested… …. It’s not the same law across the board! Only tax payers the law work against…. Cuz rich don’t pay tax n squatters dnt either!
police can't do nothing about breaking and entering occupying a dwelling refusing a direct order but if I don't pay a speeding ticket 120 days in jail or $500 come on
There should be a law that REQUIRES the owner AND tenant to REGISTER FREE their lease or who's renting the property where law enforcement can access. Both parties should be given 5 business days to REGISTER the lease. If they don't, then they will be penalized with a fine (so what it's inconvenient). This could potentially prevent homeowners from having to go to court to evict squatters. Let the burden be on the squatter instead of the homeowner.
This is absolutely pathetic… These people need to be arrested and put in jail for breaking and entering a private home… Mind boggling laws on the books need to be changed
So, you pay for a house that squatters take over. You have to go out of your way to prove you are right and they are wrong. Then you want your taxes to pay for their food, housing and medical? Keep in mind, you pay politicians to put laws like this in the books.

I know someone who ALMOST got away with squatting in my house. I let a lady with 4 kids stay with me for 60 days to save enough for a downpayment/deposit for her own place. I was fed up after 20 days of seeing her spend money on alcohol and other non-essentials. Being a person of my word, I let her stay the promised 60 days...when the +60 days came around, I told her it was time to move. Her reply was, "Put me out; you have to evict me!" OMG! What a nightmare! I put her and her children's belongings on the curb with incident -- she cried and pleaded with my neighbors, who already knew what was happening. She got most of her belongings the same day. A week later, 3 of my tires were slashed. So be it. This was in the 90's. I'd rather pay 200 for some new tires than a migraine + court costs to evict her. BTW, she knew she was wrong. That's why she didn't take me to court for wrongful eviction.
What a stupid statement “sometimes we can’t determine who’s in the right” it seems pretty easy to me ask the owner!!! I think some laws need to be changed to protect the owners not the squatters!!!
@@neelakenio9380 Lawyers and government make the laws.They can't get squat out of a squatter so the laws are made for the government and lawyers to steal your money.They could care less if between the squatters,lawyers and government you are bankrupted.
Yes very stupid statement by the LEO. In this case I am certain even if she did not have papers the officers could oh I don't know ask the neighbors! Asking the surrounding tenants seemingly would end this in seconds I would have assumed, after all it was neighbors who first caught the squatters.
That is not a nosy neighbor. That is a good neighbor. If that had been my place I would be very grateful to that neighbor. I am not so sure you would be grateful depending on YOUR response. Would you rather have an OBSERVANT neighbor? Perhaps you would prefer squatters taking over and legally keeping your home.

There is no logic here. Am I that old to understand this? So, those thugs broke her locks and move in, isn't this home invasion? Looks like homeowners need to set up Claymores behind their doors now.
There should be more laws for Ownership now. this shouldn't be that easy for them. You need professionals renters to live in your homes now to keep the homeless OUT!
Dealt with that years ago. My brother was in hospital... these junkies climbed through a cat door! Then had the nerve to tell me I had to give them a 30 day notice. LOL nope they got a dose of bear spray ... Buh bye....
Not in Arizona. You can evict a non paying renter & have them out within a month. Californians are truly ridiculous - why do you allow evil people to do that to the people who pay their mortgage & do what is right? Must be why so many Californians have moved here to get away from the craziness.🤷🏾♂️
I threw out the possessions of a squatter, knowing she could take me to court, changed the locks, and stayed in the place until she was gone. I guessed, correctly, that she wouldn't go so far as to file a suit as she had no leg to stand on. Sometimes you've just gotta do what's right.
OR, call the cops after opening YOUR house to find it full of dead people. You can just tell the cops that you have no idea what happened. OR, torch it and collect the insurance and build a better one.
One of my parents’ friends sold their house and moved out. While waiting for it to close, they had me and one of their kids (we were 19) live there for two weeks. Now I understand why.
Thats one of the problem witg squatter law. It cant differentiate between people who used the law for innocent purpose like yours, and someone who intententionally used the law for malicious purpose (living rent free).
One person got rid of his squatters by hiring a big strong man to move in with the squatters, This strong man ,just opened the door and sat down on the sofa and said that he was moving in. The squatters moved out.
@@crazybrit420 And you'd be arrested and jailed. I'm not saying it's "right", but there's a big grand canyon difference between what's morally right, and what's criminally right.
I had a vacant house, and filed a Letter of Agency with the cops. This is an official notice to them that anyone not the owner is tresspassing. You have to cancel it yourself. A rental agreement would be automatically false in this case.
The ONLY difference between squatting and breaking and entering, to me, is if the owner is home at the time. I keep waiting for the day when a habitual squatter does this when someone armed is at home with the training and time to react. And on that day, I'll ONLY feel sorry for the homeowner for being out in that position
It's meant to keep scummy landlords at Bay. So, you sign a rental agreement, pay deposit and first month rent, then they evict you for being there illegally. This used to be rampant, especially in minority areas. So, laws were written to protect them. The pendulum swings to one extreme or another, eventually we'll find a middle ground of common sense.
No because you'd have to prove who cut the wires. A couple of starving Rottweilers would work but then you could be charged with recklessly endangering the life of anyone who broke in. I know there was a case in the States many years ago where a couple who had been repeatedly burgled wired a shotgun at the top of the stairs to a tripwire then went on holiday. When they came home they found a dead guy on the stairs. I believe they were charged with manslaughter.
It is amazing, you buy a home and don't pay your Property Taxes, the county comes with the Sheriff and YOU LOSE YOUR HOME. You squat a vacant house someone else paid for, YOU GET TO STAY and the cops can't do anything. How much longer before the chaos stops?
UNTIL YOU NORMAL ? PEOPLE STAND UP.....evil will TAKEOVER,.......stealing is now LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA........i hope that whole state, slides off into the ocean.......nothing worth saving there , anyway. Hollywood poison, and sexual perversion rampant....homeless ness and tentcity everywhere.....venice avenue, etc........your state WILL NOT BE MISSED....( oh, fires and drought , too ) slide away, california !!
Both situations require a due process that may take up to a couple years. One appropriately (in the case of not paying taxes) and the other inappropriately (in the case of the squatter - which should be a simple remove the trespassers).
Squatters should be arrested and given long term shelter in the State prison. The children, if any should be taken from the thieves and given to normal people who can teach them normal behavior. Those most at fault here are the nimwits that pass laws that protect criminals.
So basically the sqwaters were saying "Get out, this is our house now". How dare they just assume they can just snatch a house from someone and move in like that.
Squatting is despicable and all who do it should be jailed immediately. The way these criminals are unlawfully supported by the corrupt legal system is crazy.
In many states, entering a house with intent to take possession of that property without contract or payment is called "Burglary in the second degree" Not trespassing. Burg 2 is a felony.
A friend had a bunch of simple thinkers try this in an 8 apartment complex he and his brother inherited from their folks .... his brother is a biker ... his club showed up in force and "convinced" the squatters to move on. They did immediately. Sheriffs dept didn't blink an eye.
I could literally never imagine just popping up to a vacant house and start moving my things in. This whole squatter thing is insane to me, and the fact they have any rights at all is even worse.
One can not even go on a lengthy vacation anymore for fear some squatters will move in the moment that see someone is not at home for days 😡. There’s an Airbnb across the street where I live; an old Victorian home beautifully restored and remodeled. Well, after seeing no activity at the property some time, under cover of the night, squatters tried to move in. I guess they got caught because for the next seven days the property was surrounded by floodlights ever night. Eventually, the floodlight were removed after the owner installed better security.
This is the sh**test law not only in California but also in other states. This law absolutely has to be abolished. It’s not the Wild West anymore, darn it !
Mad Planet are you nuts?! A simple google search will show you that red states are the biggest welfare queens. Therefore welfare recipients = republican votes
The problem is the homeowner should not be "OUT" until the system determines what is what....especially since the homeowner can prove that they own the house beyond all doubt right then and there and the squatters can't prove that they have a Legal contract with the homeowner....the squatters should be out until they can make there case in court and if they really were paying tenants then the homeowner shoudl face a large financial fine and penalty.
My sister had me stay at her vacant house to keep potential squatters from moving in. There was some evidence of break-ins, and thefts, but we also thought that was from a hostile neighbor. My sister had another house that had been vacant for a long time, but the neighbors were vigilant. She had stay there while it went up for sale
MAKE A LAW THAT SAY U HAVE TO TAKE A PICTURE OR VIDEO OF SIGNING & GIVING RENT $ TO THE OWNER. ITS THAT SIMPLE. + U CAN VERIFY THE OWNER SIGNATURE. OR WHERE THE MONTHLY RECIEPTS OF PAYING RENT.
This should not be that hard. If a person is living in a house, does not own said house, or is not paying rent to the owner of said house. They shod not be there and should be arrested for trespassing. If they changed the locks they should be charged with vandalism. If the fake rental agreements, forgery. How is this so difficult?
The point is they lie and most have printed off lease agreements, once shown to the police it's "he said, she said" In this case they did not have the paper work but the owner did this is very rare and she was super lucky to have good neighbors.
BleuHãwaii Because if they were a valid renter, they would need to have these rights to protect them and the owner would need to go through the eviction process. These people are taking advantage of that by committing fraud pretending to be valid renters.
Absolutely horrendous! It is beyond unconscionable that a property owner has less rights than blatant thieves. It should take all of 5 minutes to kick a trespasser off of your property.
I knew a guy who had a problem with tenants not paying rent. Rather than wait months through the winter for an eviction process to resolve the problem, he took the front door off of the hinges and took it into the shop for maintenance. By the time he got around to taking the door back, the deadbeats were all moved out and gone.
@@ShiningSakura Freeloading renters. The police have no authority in a civil matter, and can't arrest them. The owner has to go to court to get them out.
I was living in USA and did a quick trip back home just to find out that someone had plans to move in to my appartment. I disconnected their appliances and put them out of my property. I found a locksmith and welder and make them seal the metal door to its frame so noone could enter it. I wonder if what I did is legal in U S A.
When they prove someone like that has attempted fraud, they should be in a database that makes it impossible for them to do it again. And, if they want a free place to live, toss them into prison!
I usually have my eviction team (Guido and Tony from the Bronx) handle my squatter evictions without the need for court action. Usually, the squatters are anxious to move out once they are discharged from the hospital. They even "give" me their refrigerators and other stuff to compensate me for my trouble.
So did these criminals get arrested 🤔😠❓❓❓ if not their moving into someone elses home by now 🤦♀️😠 THAT'S WHY THEY KEEP DOING IT, ZERO CONSEQUENCES 🤢 ONLY IN AMERICA 🤦♀️
Im from newyork. This has happened to my house after i gave eviction notice to tenant, tenant brought squatters to live. Currently no rent for last 1 year. Im basically doomed, thanks to the govt who made such unjust rules. Shameless govt.
So what if someone else comes along when they aren't their breaks in changes the locks and says they live there then gives it back to you sort of a squat on the squatters
This happened when my uncle died. His ex wife moved into his apartment claiming she was living with him (she wasn't) and refused to leave. My cousins said it took forever for her to leave.
"Squatters have been getting pretty sophisticated" Outsmarting law enforcement and law makers seems pretty simple to me if a change of locks is enough to baffle police
I've watched other stories about squatters and it's often mentioned that the squatters call a locksmith. I think the locksmiths in these cases should be charged with a criminal act. It seems to me that some kind of proof of residence would need to be presented.
you dont need a locksmith, you can get door lock sets for $20 at walmart. that and a screwdriver, and drilling out a lock and a few minutes work is all they need.
The property owner should be the ultimate authority when it comes to who is allowed on the property. If they say they want someone off the property, that's it, that's the end of it. Those people must leave.
How is this allowed by the “SYSTEM”. IT’S DISGRACEFUL !!! Whoever came up with these laws and loopholes should be jailed. There is NO Reason for anyone to take possession of your property and then have the benefit of the doubt. CHANGE THE LAWS NOW
It's not he said/she said, someone just lied to the police. Either you have a contract and a relationship with the owner or your don't. As soon as she demonstrated she owned it and they could not demonstrate they rented it, they should have been arrested on the spot. The value of rent, as can be demonstrated by the owner, should determine the level of misdemeanor or felony to be pursued based on what they attempted to steal.

All these agreements need to filed at the county office or city hall. If the paperwork is not at those offices then the squatter is immediately removed from the home.
Why isn't this considered burglary?
burglary requires trespassing + theft any kind OR
trespassing with the intent to commit a crime (usually a felony)
we could solve this problem by making squatting itself a crime
then it would in fact be burglary under the law
@@gyozanomics But isn't trespassing itself a crime? And isn't there an act of theft being committed since the squatter is stealing the home from the owner?

California law, embarrassing the FK out of me daily🤬. How utterly stupid….protecting criminals’ rights seems to be the norm now.
Every State has squatter rights laws. Do some forms of research before showing how dumb you are
It's not just Cali, this is happening all over the country. A soldier in Atlanta came home from a tour of duty last fall, to find a squatter in her home, took 4 months to get him out.
My dad had a similar situation in one of his properties. Sadly the couple died in a horrible crash caused by brake failure
Yep, accidents happen.

Probably something to do with stealing land from Native Americans. It's alright until someone does it to you.

Squatters tried to move into one of my aunts rental. Little did the squatters know that they messed with the wrong family. There is nothing like 20+ angry people busting down a door and bum rush the squatters. Let’s just say the squatters were handled in a way they will never forget. ;)

These squatters laws need to change. It’s legal theft of a house. By the time you evict them they have destroyed your property.
How in the living hell can this happen? There absolutely has to be some immediate legal recourse for a homeowner to stop squatters from moving into their home. What kind of law protects the criminal? This is why California is in so much trouble.
We had a squatter in our home when we transferred to the west coast. We rented our home instead of selling it because we wanted to move back into it when our tour was completed. During the time between us moving out and tenants moving in, a squatter broke in and decided to live there. We didn't call the cops, we didn't call the news, we called a friend (6'5 and 245 pounds, a BIG guy) and he went over with a baseball bat and his side arm attached to his belt. The squatter left withing seconds of Matt walking in to the house. No fuss, no mess.

We dumped their stuff in a dumpster we had delivered that day. We "convinced" them if they came back to the neighborhood, they would be met with more dogs and more people. Acting as a vigilante is the only way to deal with squatters until the laws change.

@@Namath1000 I'd imagine if the house was owned by a homeowner/land lord, they can just get documents from them to prove the house was vacant before being broken into, but for some reason it's either not a factor in the investigation or dismissed. Otherwise, if the property is owned by banks or the state, it shouldn't be possible to move in either, because it's still the property of X. I can't possibly imagine how this is allowed, unless it's deliberate.
I went through this once in my life as I'm a real estate developer.
I simply put into service an ADT Home Security Alarm System with a working telephone line to the property. Once these Squatters trip the alarm ADT will call the home and ask for the Security Password and since they won't know the password the Police are dispatched to the home and you are also immediately notified. Meaning that anyone caught in that home even with a made up lease are automatically arrested for burglary. End of my squatters problem...👌

There should be a law that REQUIRES the owner AND tenant to REGISTER FREE their lease or who's renting the property where law enforcement can access. Both parties should be given 5 business days to REGISTER the lease. If they don't, then they will be penalized with a fine (so what it's inconvenient). This could potentially prevent homeowners from having to go to court to evict squatters. Let the burden be on the squatter instead of the homeowner.

Being a person of my word, I let her stay the promised 60 days...when the +60 days came around, I told her it was time to move. Her reply was, "Put me out; you have to evict me!" OMG! What a nightmare! I put her and her children's belongings on the curb with incident -- she cried and pleaded with my neighbors, who already knew what was happening. She got most of her belongings the same day. A week later, 3 of my tires were slashed. So be it. This was in the 90's. I'd rather pay 200 for some new tires than a migraine + court costs to evict her. BTW, she knew she was wrong. That's why she didn't take me to court for wrongful eviction.

The ONLY difference between squatting and breaking and entering, to me, is if the owner is home at the time. I keep waiting for the day when a habitual squatter does this when someone armed is at home with the training and time to react. And on that day, I'll ONLY feel sorry for the homeowner for being out in that position
Squatters should be charged with burglary if they can't readily produce the appropriate documents.
This law doesnt make any sense...because the squatters are breaking and entering/tresspassing to begin with
lazy prosecutors
It's meant to keep scummy landlords at Bay. So, you sign a rental agreement, pay deposit and first month rent, then they evict you for being there illegally. This used to be rampant, especially in minority areas. So, laws were written to protect them. The pendulum swings to one extreme or another, eventually we'll find a middle ground of common sense.
If it's anything like the UK you have to prove they broke and entered. They say a window or door was open , very hard to prove it wasn't.
lewisner Wouldn’t an alarm system come in handy unless they cutting wires but then it’s cut wires as evidence?
No because you'd have to prove who cut the wires. A couple of starving Rottweilers would work but then you could be charged with recklessly endangering the life of anyone who broke in.
I know there was a case in the States many years ago where a couple who had been repeatedly burgled wired a shotgun at the top of the stairs to a tripwire then went on holiday. When they came home they found a dead guy on the stairs. I believe they were charged with manslaughter.
It is amazing, you buy a home and don't pay your Property Taxes, the county comes with the Sheriff and YOU LOSE YOUR HOME. You squat a vacant house someone else paid for, YOU GET TO STAY and the cops can't do anything. How much longer before the chaos stops?

Both situations require a due process that may take up to a couple years. One appropriately (in the case of not paying taxes) and the other inappropriately (in the case of the squatter - which should be a simple remove the trespassers).
Squatters should be arrested and given long term shelter in the State prison. The children, if any should be taken from the thieves and given to normal people who can teach them normal behavior. Those most at fault here are the nimwits that pass laws that protect criminals.

Just have all the squatters break into a Supreme Court judges house and see the law change overnight
In many states, entering a house with intent to take possession of that property without contract or payment is called "Burglary in the second degree" Not trespassing. Burg 2 is a felony.
A friend had a bunch of simple thinkers try this in an 8 apartment complex he and his brother inherited from their folks .... his brother is a biker ... his club showed up in force and "convinced" the squatters to move on. They did immediately. Sheriffs dept didn't blink an eye.

There’s an Airbnb across the street where I live; an old Victorian home beautifully restored and remodeled.

The problem is the homeowner should not be "OUT" until the system determines what is what....especially since the homeowner can prove that they own the house beyond all doubt right then and there and the squatters can't prove that they have a Legal contract with the homeowner....the squatters should be out until they can make there case in court and if they really were paying tenants then the homeowner shoudl face a large financial fine and penalty.

Agreed, but in CA the squatters are protected and the homeowner would be the one charged with a crime.
They got the ers right
This should not be that hard. If a person is living in a house, does not own said house, or is not paying rent to the owner of said house. They shod not be there and should be arrested for trespassing. If they changed the locks they should be charged with vandalism. If the fake rental agreements, forgery. How is this so difficult?
The problem is these type things are being done on purpose. They are not trying to be ethical. California is being overtaken by nefarious groups.
The point is they lie and most have printed off lease agreements, once shown to the police it's "he said, she said" In this case they did not have the paper work but the owner did this is very rare and she was super lucky to have good neighbors.
Ella Jones you sign lease agreements with apartments. When you don't pay they evict you.
Evictions take time. A lot of damage can be done in that time.
BleuHãwaii
Because if they were a valid renter, they would need to have these rights to protect them and the owner would need to go through the eviction process. These people are taking advantage of that by committing fraud pretending to be valid renters.
California, you are royally messed up!
Absolutely horrendous! It is beyond unconscionable that a property owner has less rights than blatant thieves. It should take all of 5 minutes to kick a trespasser off of your property.
I knew a guy who had a problem with tenants not paying rent. Rather than wait months through the winter for an eviction process to resolve the problem, he took the front door off of the hinges and took it into the shop for maintenance.

This happened when my uncle died. His ex wife moved into his apartment claiming she was living with him (she wasn't) and refused to leave. My cousins said it took forever for her to leave.
"Squatters have been getting pretty sophisticated"
Outsmarting law enforcement and law makers seems pretty simple to me if a change of locks is enough to baffle police
I've watched other stories about squatters and it's often mentioned that the squatters call a locksmith. I think the locksmiths in these cases should be charged with a criminal act. It seems to me that some kind of proof of residence would need to be presented.
I agree
How can you provide proof of residence if you’re locked out of your house..... wouldn’t the deed be inside.
They want fast and easy money they can't be bothered to check
@@thexvault Address on drivers license. Not the same address? Then I guess owner would have to get copy of their mortgage papers.
you dont need a locksmith, you can get door lock sets for $20 at walmart. that and a screwdriver, and drilling out a lock and a few minutes work is all they need.
The property owner should be the ultimate authority when it comes to who is allowed on the property. If they say they want someone off the property, that's it, that's the end of it. Those people must leave.
BULLSEYE!
But, you see, this was California.
@@roneagle8038 and the squatters were evicted , so what's your point
@@roneagle8038 The crazy state.
@@roneagle8038 Unfortunately this bs is not limited to California.
How is this allowed by the “SYSTEM”. IT’S DISGRACEFUL !!! Whoever came up with these laws and loopholes should be jailed. There is NO Reason for anyone to take possession of your property and then have the benefit of the doubt. CHANGE THE LAWS NOW
It's not he said/she said, someone just lied to the police. Either you have a contract and a relationship with the owner or your don't. As soon as she demonstrated she owned it and they could not demonstrate they rented it, they should have been arrested on the spot. The value of rent, as can be demonstrated by the owner, should determine the level of misdemeanor or felony to be pursued based on what they attempted to steal.
Squatters rights.... wtf
