‘Squatter Hunter’ Helps Homeowners Get Back Their Property

- There's been an explosion of squatting cases in the U.S. Nationally prominent restaurateur Adam Fleischman was recently accused of squatting at a Hollywood Hills home. Flash Shelton is the self-proclaimed “squatter hunter.” He says he's on a mission to reclaim properties after alleged squatters move in. The owner reached out to one person she hoped could help. Fleischman denies being a squatter, claiming he had a right to live there, but moved out just a week later.
Squatters having rights is one of the biggest pos ever
True
But it’s good if the home has been empty for 10 years
it's a case of lawmakers stupidity. they create a law to take care of 1 thing but it ends up being used in an outrageous but legal way.
@staringcorgi6475
1. That's none of your business.
@@staringcorgi6475that’s a dangerous logic. It’s called socialism.
The fact you need a "squatter expert" to get rid of these people is insane... Why is there even laws protecting people that do this?
Democrats

@dimensionzone8048 while agreeing with this sentiment, 100% of every meaningful political postion in California is only held by one of these
"You will own nothing and be happy". WEF
When squatters take over a property, it becomes a landlord v tenant case, the best way to overcome that is to do what Flash (Squatter Hunter) does, you have the owner of the home lease you the building and you can then have the squatters evicted without taking them to court
Lessee rights > Squatter rights > Landlord rights
I really don’t get the whole squatter rights thing. Aren’t the homes private property? If that’s the case isn’t that trespassing and theft.
they need to fix the law to make it more reasonable but id guess its in place because its bad to have property that's just stagnant and not being used for anything and its incentive to use and maintain land.
And vandalism.
If a property is not lived in after a certain amount squatters can possibly claim rights of abandoned property because of eminent domain. Each state law is different. It's intention is to make sure the property is used to house people. Essentially stripping rich people from taking advantage of property for portfolio assets. I read that somewhere that's how the pilgrims were able to justify taking native American land.
@@ManChan-w5pso that age old law, came back to bite us all huh. Smh.
@@Frosty89 What goes around comes around. That's what made this country great. Taking over somebody's property.
The Squatter Hunter needs his own show!
The guy needs a book and a how-to video to evict trespassers.
nah it would give evidence that there have been a unlawful eviction
Yes
He will probaly get 1 tbh he already has cameras.
Basically, the owner writes out a lease agreement to this guy. The guy moves in and places cameras everywhere. Then the pressure is on.
For the Squatter Hunter, I wish he chose to call himself Squatter Swatter instead. Has a nicer ring to it.
Top comment 💀 I really hope they see this and he changes it to this 😂
It does have a nice ring to it.
what tf is a swatter ? that's not a word....
He can still call himself that
@@RegulareoldNorseBoy let me google that for you:
Definitions of swatter. an implement with a flat part (of mesh or plastic) and a long handle; used to kill insects. synonyms: flyswat, flyswatter. type of: implement. instrumentation (a piece of equipment or tool) used to effect an end.
Would anyone even realize if some squatters go missing? Just clean the house.
Get yourself an alibi, and don't forget your skimask...
@@rustyshackleford81 It's not like you have to go out and be sneaky, it's literally inside your own house
@@UndeadFleshgodYou can't kill someone for just being in your home. You must feel your life's in danger
@@UndeadFleshgod suppose you don't wanna dispose of a body, just chase them around with a branding iron or cattle prod?
@@MaxMax-ly6luFound the squatter!
Why do they intentionally destroy every home?!
Because they know it’s not theirs and they don’t care, also, they’re bitter that others own property and seek to be an a-hole
There is a bunch of reasons. Some cause they’re getting kicked out cause they’re trespassing or it’s a legit renter who’s getting kicked out for some reason and they get their anger out or bored.
The haves and have nots.
Well they don’t care. They’re not held accountable to any damages to the property, or theft of stuff on the property.
Since they can falsify the lease, the homeowner can’t sue they for damages. Just the eviction.
Hence why the law needed to be changed or made.
When u break in to a house u get arrested but if u break in n stay u don't??!!! Lol so crazy
People have to be living there actively for it to be a burglary. You can only “squat” a vacant property.
@@JonathonsupBut what about those actively living in their homes and still dealing with squatters?
@@ajstudios9210I ain't no lawyer but with the government we have today, I bet you they would still make you live with them for a tiny bit before they "CAN kick them out."
@@Jonathonsup That's not true, some people lived in their homes with the squatters because they had no place to go. I think it's Detroit, if a squatter does any work on the house the squatter has rights to stay. Some people went on vacation and came back to someone living in their home with the locks changed 😳 Scary thought
Squating rights was created because without laws to protect a renter, a landlord can do anything to their tendant.
This is only possible because of the laws!! Change the laws to protect the owner.
I wouldn’t do that if I were you. That’s how you get kicked out of your own home real quick
@@bewareofsasquatch
That makes no sense 😕 Breaking into a home IS against the law , breaking into a home and then claiming its yours IS against the law ...shouldn't really be a confusing concept . I paid for my home and I'm the legal owner and tenant of MY home and Noone has the right to trespass on private property....the fact you need this explained to you is astounding .
He should get the homeowner to sign a lease with proof of ownership and just change the locks and when the squatters return just have THEM trespassed.
Deadpool
Yes. That's basically what he does. The owners can't do it, but they can sign a lease to someone else - and they can.
@@hollieoooand I can get some of my hood homies to sign the lease together. I bet he leaves in 10 minutes.
@@jml9550😂
@@hollieooo as long as the home owner agrees to supply all the 40s and a grill, we good. You know what I am saying. :)
If I came home and someone was squatting in my home, I’m defending my home and my family.
you're so badass and cool!
Yeah I'm sure you would, Jonathan! Such a sigma masculine thing to say in yt comments!
My parents have a ... let's say veterinarian diagnosed antisocial guard dog (a literal menace to society) and we keep him on a leach at all times. So if I came home and someone was squatting in my home I'm telling the police the leach flew out of my hand.
. I don't need the dog I have a Marine Veteran
We don't have this issue in Arizona . No squatters rights.
also 2nd amendment....
Literally squatters rights in all 50 states.
Unbelievable how squatters have more rights than the actual homeowner.
I think I should squat in my own home and refuse to pay mortgage and taxes.
My left ear loved this video
lol right? I hate it when they do this with the sound.
@@ShuiYueSketchbookyou mean “lol left” 😂
Same
lmao I only had my right airpod in
@@chrismargolis😂😂
Couldn't owners just hire Pinkertons or something to forcibly remove squatters
Renters have rights. Where I am, if you try to remove someone from your home, even if they're squatting, you will automatically owe them 12 months rent, paid full.
They just claim to be renters and then the cops say “it’s a civil issue.”
That's not how it works, it won't be that easy, just like the Nanny who was supposed to take care of the children but instead she went own the room, and told everyone that she quit instead of getting fired
😂😂😂😂😂
owner could rent the home out to his/her friend and the friend moved in with more friend.
I’m 30 years old, and to this day I haven’t figured out how this is even a thing.
I'm 65 and I don't get it either.
People in your castle used to be called justifiable homicide.
Thanks, Flash Shelton. You’re really saving the day from squatters at homes.
How tf do owners have no right over their property but random people have? This is insane 😂😂😂😂
Democrats.
Finally, someone is helping the innocent homeowners 😊
Give this man his own show 🤩
I wanna watch too lol
If that's my house,they have 2 options leave peacefully or in an ambulance,no police!!
Yeah and then while you serve your prison sentence they can live there freely
Sadly the law won’t see it that way despite this being a good option if the squatter refuse to leave.
@@123RADIOactive I will gladly take any charges the pos might try and press on me, If their squatting in a house I doubt they would have trial money for a lawyer.
@@Jordan-mp6upThey’re trespassing and allegedly had a weapon on them I would call it self defence but hey
We live in a dystopian society where criminals and slackers have all the rights, and privileges. You dont even own your home anymore.
They're not just moving from one place to another They're destroying everything and leaving property damages to the owners and think im gonna get-away with this so that tge owners pay for all the damages
If I pay taxes on my home,it's mine!
Not paying rent is "legal"
Not paying mortgage/Property tax is "illegal"
I applaud the Atlanta PD for evicitng. You deserve a salute.
I don’t understand how American law takes away rights from the owners who purchased the home and have documentation to verify it and give it to people who illegally occupy the property.
Thank the democrats. I don't care what anyone says, it is the democrats.
When squatters cause damage like this
Everything they own should be sold and if there's still money owed, they do hard labor in prison until it's paid off
It's stories like this that should make the entire neighborhood gather together, no need for cameras, and approach the squatter in a convincing manner to move on
Why is it illegal to steal a car but okay to steal a house??🤔
Just give it time
Audio is messed up in this video. The audio is only coming from the left side.
"14 month legal battle", meaning the local county courts, judges and attorneys needed to "wet their beaks" with the money of the new home owners.
God bless that man
Should be treated just like a break-in bring back stand your ground protect your home people
It’s ridiculous that any homeowner has to “get back their property”
There needs to be changes in the law to prevent this.
So he is welcomed in and just becomes a pest? Hunter? Yeah... I dont want you ending up in a bag because not everyone is a human being out here. Please don't do this full-time without a few more folks or at least an easy way to get backup and for someone to track you.
😂 he's great get them out of people's homes. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This crime is exploding because they know they (the squatters) can get away with it
There's one in NYC where the owner Adele Andoloro was the one arrested instead of the squatters. Please help her!
the announcer is only on the left side of my headphones...i was so confused lol
Does he install giant sticky traps and pitfall traps to immobilize these house pests?
Freaking insane that this is a thing.
Sad to see even a person who had everything like owning and running restaurants turned into a squatter.
Adam Fleischman.
That lady in NYC that just got arrested for trying to kick out squatters could use his help.
I will vote for anyone who gets a bill passed that removes human rights from squatters
The legislation needs to revise these laws to stop supporting the squatters more than the homeowners. Homeowners shouldn’t have to file for an eviction that can take 2 years to do on people who just move their stuff in, change the locks, and make the homeowners pay for everything. They don’t have the papers to the home, the homeowners do so support them instead of the criminals.
This is why it’s important to not rent to poor people with bad credit
What we see on the news is the big picture. It’s just a few cases. Some these “squatters” legitimately live there but landlord wants to kick them out for what ever reason. It protects a lot of innocent people more than it does trespassers.
The squatter hunter is providing great community service.
Wonder if the cost of housing could be a factor.
Yes, so let them come stay with you.
Kinda, but stealing property and putting someone’s finances in danger is not the answer
@@specialagentorange4329 if the house is vacant for over a year , is fit hurting anyones finances
Home owners in places with "30-day squatter rights" laws, please remember this when you go to vote. Don't vote for politicians or political parties who make laws that give your properties away to others for free. It hurts you, it hurts your communities and it hurts the rule of law.
Squatter Rights Advocates would protest
THIS IS GREAT!!!! I STILL do NOT understand HOW N THE BEEP can squatters have ANY RIGHTS WHATSOEVER!!!
Have you ever heard of the 2A, intruders on your property?
Squatter laws need be changed
Squatter hunter should be a reality show and educating homeowners what to do and how to use loopholes to get back their proerty
Nobody's quoting any code sections
I plan to Squat at this Beautiful house in New Orleans, this is very useful information Thanks❤
give thief a right? this country is doomed! DOOMED!
It's a law from centuries ago and it pertained to properties that weren't occupied after the owner died in a war or something. Empty properties were cropping up everywhere, hence why people were given the OK to move into unoccupied places. No longer relevant. Now it's just a burden to society.
IGNORE THE LAW! The can’t and WON’T help you.
I suffered 8 months with a squatter. Paid 3k to a lawyer to evict. Took MONTHS! Then the state of Az FORCED me to let her back in to get her stuff. YEP! She moved right back in. So I sold it to an investor and took a 70k loss. Squatter still there after closing.
I heard from a neighbor, that the squatter was ‘removed’ by the new owner with cuffs and a bag over her head. Her stuff was trashed out in the middle of the night. This squatter has never been seen or heard from again. And a new tenant moved in the very next day.
People ! SQUATTERS HAVE NO RIGHTS! Just because a State passes an UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW, does NOT mean you have to acknowledge that law. WE must hold government accountable and IGNORE THEM AND QUIETLY TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROBLEM WITHOUT THEM. This is the world we live in now. If we continue to allow our CORRUPT GOVERNMENT to impose UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAWS, we don’t have a COUNTRY.
allowing this ...When she came back to get her stuff....lol you should of put her stuff on porch in protective bags and changed your locks and ALWAYS have a fake lease with your name on it to show police...Gotta be smarter than the squatter , the police would of enforced YOUR * squatters right * over your private property rights ...
If i see a squater in my home he is not going to see another day
Here in North Carolina if you walk into a home whether it's vacant or not it is a felony
It is clear that these people do not own the home. If they did, they wouldn’t do this to it. They wouldn’t destroy it like that. They clearly do not own the home. If they did, they would know how much money it takes to repair it and they would not do that to their own home ….or maybe they would.😳
Never close on a house until previous owner has completely vacated and never give previous owner a post occupancy agreement.
This doesn't make sense at all
About time!!! Should be the LAW EVERYWHERE!
Doing the Lord’s work.
This has become a huge problem and the police seem "handcuffed." This is a policymaker problem.
True, how does one prove that a squatter’s proof of occupation, like a bogus lease, is fake? Not an easy thing to do.
@@0IIIIII
That's why every homeowner needs to get a lease made up with a notery and keep in on hand...out squat the squatters
I need this guy!!! HELP!!
fire the audio engineer for this video. Why is the audio only coming out of one ear
Pay the hunter well then charge the state for their removal sue the damn state law makers who only protect the criminals. And why do we allow the bad policy makers to remain in that position to do more harm. We put them in power but nobody seems to want to remove them from that power seat. Why?
Squatters rights? Tell it to my 1911...
Squatter rocking fake Gucci bag 😂
..and just like that, a new industry is born; government gets off Scott-free.
The Squatter swatter has a RUclips of him kicking a squatter out of his mom's house.Glad to see he's helping other people.
The saying "you own what you can defend" applies here. The law doesn't always help.
Lets say someone squatted in the home of politician that is on vacation. The news would conveniently change it to intruder/burglar.
As I was watching this story on my tv, I was thinking about this RUclips video where a woman who was sleeping on this family’s couch in their house, was saying that she was copping the house, and as I was watching it, I was thinking she is a squatter!
Please government! Change these laws!
Shouldn’t the castle doctrine technically take effect for the homeowners, at least in the cases where the squatter physically broke into the property?
The problem aren’t the squatters the problem is America has weak laws , you don’t see this issue in the rest of the world 🤷🏻♂️
You know what would solve this? Making house no longer a commodity, Letting the government build permanent housing for homeless, just a thought…
You must be one of those Socialist who wants everyone to own nothing and be happy.
Fix the audio guys please especially people with ear phones
This would make a great reality show! Get on it!
If people want a squatter out of their home.. they can pay me a flat fee to do a “home invasion” 😂
illegal eviction for squatters? what a stupid law and stupid lawmakers
This is horrible !
Squatters should be taken out of these homes and Jailed!
" The Laws Need to Change reguarding Squatters!"
They have No Rights to occupy some one else home!
It’s sad, but if you aren’t going to be in your house for months at a time, you almost have to squat-proof your house. Bars on the windows, etc. It doesn’t have to be absolutely impossible to break in, just hard enough that any squatter will realize there’s better places to try getting into it.
Why do these squatters have all of these privileges?! It’s absolutely ridiculous!
This is so disgusting. 😮
I don't care what law anyone puts in my face if I bought the house you can either move or be removed by whatever force necessary.
To end this crime activity, the judges and police that tolerate, promote the criminals and punish the rigthful owners must be charged only then they will care to defend the owner and private property.
my left ear loved this
My left ear enjoyed this video
Exactly lmao. I thought my earphone was not working 😂
Thanks, my left ear enjoyed that
I haven’t heard one politician address this ongoing, expanding problem…thank God for the Squatter Hunter….it should never come to this…
As long as government keeps ignoring the housing shortage, this will continue to happen. Just a reminder, politicians serve not just the rich but the poor as well.
We’re not short of homes. There is enough homes for everyone the issue is Wall Street. They buy a bunch of homes, apartments and condos and hold to it and rent or sell high. Also home owners should never see a house as something you profit on. Like it’s so stupid that a house is a 100 years old should double or triple in price even adjusting for inflation. That’s ridiculous.
The housing shortage/affordability issue is due to government interference in the housing market. Government ALWAYS makes things much much worse when the idiots meddle in private sector matters. Government is not your friend nor is it the solution to social problems. It is the cause of problems and it is your enemy.
What they don't say is he charges $5,000, he probably sends squatters there so he can get a paycheck.
...stop making up things without proof
@@christinehawkins1382In another video he said he charges that much, Why charge so much if you believe in your cause?
So even gated houses aren't safe from squatters?
iI AM NOT not a squatter or a holdover tenant i have legal rights to be in my property and Flash is claiming hes moving in and going to install cameras in every room. hes on the take from HOME OWNERS WHO WANT TO SKIRT THE LEGAL SYSTEM.
