the fact that house is 2 million dollars is the real scam
Facts
You can't buy a closet in NYC for less that $500,000. My house is nothing special and it costs over $1.1 million.
Exactly 😂
@@tedmarakas2626 it's totally ridiculous
that's really two houses they later connected.
If I was the owner, I'd just go squat in my own house and invite a local chapter of the Hells Angels to hang out and have a party!
It's that easy.
What?
Yes sir
I'm sure any club who hears this story will be willing to constantly stop in. Just notify the local authorities and make sure they know what you plan to do. Just because the squatter will try and waste police and fire or whoever's services
Excuse me but bikers ain’t fixing shit… tards
NO WAY IN HELL WOULD I PAY THE UTILITIES AND I WOULD SUE THE REALTOR .
They clearly didn't check the house and that's their fault
That is the way to go !
@gypsybaby3196 why should they have to check the house? Common sense rather than by the books.
@@gypsybaby3196 No, that's the realtors fault. Wtf?
Could the sale of the house be annulled due to a breach? They were not aware of a person living there with a contract).
If a Judge or a Policeman owned that house, I bet things would be different.
Not true, I saw a video of a police officer who forced a squatter out of his home and the officer ended up in BIG legal trouble.
Why are American lawmakers doing nothing about this? Who does this benefit? The homeless drug addicts and criminals who illegally squat? Jesus Christ, this country is in shambles if our politicians are legally supporting non-Tax-paying and non-voting rats over good hard working American citizens.
Trespassing charges should warrant arrest and forcible removal.
He’s not trespassing-he’ squatting. He has acquired “residency” by occupying the house for at least 30 days. These laws that protect squatters have no place in the 21st century.
law abiding citizens and homeowners are second class in New York
Need to hire a professional 'accident' consultant. I'd have offed this guy a long time ago.
@@dapperdingo cheaper than the court system that's giving the homeowners the runaround
So elon musk doesnt buy up neiborhoods...reason squatter rigts
The fact that house is $2,000,000 is the crime.
Standard in NYC. Impossibly expensive city for the dumpster fire it now is.
It is two homes connected Look at the picture
@@wiki1547
Looks like a house with a garage that might have finished space above it.
@@wiki1547looks like it's a home with an attached garage and a small apartment, or storage above the garage. 🤔
@@wiki1547Its still not worth $2mil. Looks like a shack.
Why are they paying the bills?!... Get everything turned off 😡
Credit scores
Turn everything off
The squatter will sue them.
@@Omar_Zazzle Let him.
Its ny, you probably cant because he might die from cold.
There was a squatter in our neighborhood, the home owner had died. Our homes are on well shares. Neighbors turned off the water, squatter left.
that is a community you want to live in.
Smart. Easy to turn off the water.....that valve is by the curb. Anyone can do it.
That’s against the law
@@avonfettydale9166and being a squatter is legal?!
@@yvonnevijgen9278 yes it is, look up squatters rights.
What a stupid law, you can jail someone for stealing other stuff but not a house, stealing is stealing.
This whole video is misleading. That squatter was actually a tenant when the other owner died. These buyers knew about the man living there when the nephew of the old owner sold the house and got a discount for it. These new owners are idiots. They need to suck it up and realize they’re landlords now for their idiotic decision.
Oh honey! There's no penalty in the United States for stealing are you kidding me?
@@Yahsbsuq didn’t know.
@@Yahsbsuqhe’s still not paying them rent? So this makes no sense. He’s still squatting. Staying in a home after a owner has died, forcing others to kick you out, is wrong…
@@mh-tb9luhe was probably left nothing after taking care of an old person... Now that's wrong
Whoever the realtor was should be liable. They had to have known someone was living there.
My thoughts exactly! Did they not know he was living there?
@brianal7143
He was not a tenant
Even if he was, he is not paying now and doesn't own the damn property.
It makes me sick to my stomach seeing some ppl finding excuses for this low life criminal
No one's Above the Law..smh It's your home..God be with you guys having to put up with this nonsense.
@@charlessantos8328
I bet you most ppl that don't care about ppl been victimized this way are either low lives, losers or never had been Landlords.
This law sucks....
If he was in a third world country, you know what would happen..right???
Guy is scumbag
Better question did they even even visit the home?
This is why everybody and I mean EVERYBODY needs to know at least two people that don’t have anything to lose because I promise that man would have been out my house in an hour flat.
Lol
Yo these people tripping. That door coming down.
you and the 2 people would go to jail and the squatter would still be living in ur house
@@VictusAnimeNah, I don’t know who broke that guys leg, maybe he owed a drug dealer some money or something. That guy would get pulled over with an Oz of meth in his car in under a week if that was me. Way easier to evict a guy who’s in jail
Exactly
The system has a loophole. I went throught the same situation. I no longer rent rooms. Due to ridiculous squaters rights.
He's not a squatter. He lives there and gets mail there and that makes him a tenant. They didn't check the house before buying which makes them idiots
I sure could use a renter to help me pay my bills, but I am afraid of squatters, and I will just do the best I can living as cheap as I can.
@@gypsybaby3196 Let me guess ,"You're a squatter".?
@@gypsybaby3196 a person living there without a lease or paying for it is a squatter by definition. How else would you define a squatter?
@@Bebe-og3bc my thought too. I don't understand the sympathy for ppl who steal from others. It's a criminal, sociopathic mindset
Never happens when a judge owns the house
He sends in the Marshal. a judge can take care of it in less than 24 hours.
😂 unless they want to put their job on the line and have a litany of court documents showing this actually went through the courts. The only advantage is he or she may get the tenant out much quicker after taken them to court
Word. I bet ya
Strange a Mayor in NC was able to file charges against squatters and have them stick yet an average citizen has to jump through hoops just to have them removed! It has happened a few times with Mayors and they were able to get the squatters removed!!
nah that’s a different story homie 😂
We just have no rights anymore. Criminals win
This is absurd. The left is absurd
Good
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi trolln
So if I become a criminal will I have more rights?
Why
I use to think a 2M home would look like a castle, not a barn.
Yea in NY what you get for the money is so stupid. It’s hard to move away from NY but realistically it’s a total rip off
It's a New York Dutch Colonial clad in cedar shakes. Its also on prime waterfront property and Douglaston Queens is an upscale neighborhood
Watching this from California and thought it look like a pretty good deal! I just spent two and a half weeks in north carolina, and even some of the new fancy tract homes 1.5 mil.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes way overpriced home
Not a mansion. Home needs many repairs. It's a normal home but on the bay
I don't pay my mortgage.. bank takes my home.. YET a squatter has rights?! And this poor family is paying all utilities!? Forget that noise!!
It takes months for the banks to take your home, years even.
This is INSANE. HOW does someone who isn’t the legal owner have rights to a residence after being there for 30 days without permission in the first place?! That’s INSANE! They’re tearing down tents outside set up by the homeless but give people rights to a residence after basically committing a b&e and not being caught for 30 days?!?!
right? don't we have places in the us that are just a bunch of abandoned houses?.... let them go squat there...
This person lived there. These owners didn't check before they bought the house...now they suffer. It's sad but why would you buy a house and not check if people live there?!?
@@gypsybaby3196don’t care, it’s not that losers property. It belongs to the people that bought it, but you’re too stupid to realize that
@@gypsybaby3196You check if a place is OWNED! What do you mean "see if someone lived there" 😂 It was obviously unowned. The new OWNERS will be paying taxes while this fool occupies their shit. But street justice will get them in trouble instead of him smh
Happens all the time in NY..it's quite normal and a regular occurrence..which is why being a landlord is risky business..if there are children involved forget about it !!!! You will never get your property back . When my husband and I were in the market to buy a house . We would see the listings with nice houses for such low prices - every time we inquired , " tenant occupied" sale ..meaning the owner couldn't get them out so they are selling the property with the tenant still inside. Unfortunately it's not always malicious. The rent in NY is so high sometimes when a landlords sells his property the tenants really can't afford to go anywhere else because they lived in the house so long paying under market rent when they have to find something in the current market it's too expensive. That's especially true now post covid ..some tenants really are stuck . What you use to need as a down payment for a house you need for a rental in NY. Unfortunately In this situation it was the seller who really screwed these buyers because the previous owner wrote up a contract ..this guy technically isn't squatting. Because it wasnt a formal lease the seller didn't have to disclose he was there and sold the house not informing the buyer it was tenant occupied. Another issue is when you buy a house " inspections" and walk throughs are performed so I don't know how they didn't know he was there ...the seller and their realtor was probably in on it ...if you don't think it's possible ..you don't know NY the realty industry here is extremely competitive and slimy ..they will screw anybody to close a deal ..I've seen it many times and unfortunately I've been a victim many times.
Everything in America is upside down where Criminals are rewarded
Not just America the world 😭😭
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi ~ Do your responses mean you're a criminal...?
@@LikeLikeLikeLikeLi
Exactly
Democrats
I wonder if the owners could just move in? They have the deed, they are not kicking him out, just move in, put 30 friends in there, sign a lease with those 30 friends. Would that work?
I'd move in and make it so miserable for him that he couldn't move out fast enough. unfortunately, he would probably sue me, squatters have way too many rights when they shouldn't have any at all.
Great idea. When the squatter is out go in with 30 big guys and change the locks.
@@Omar_Zazzle That's a good idea!
I was wondering the same thing. But I'm pretty sure he can exclude them until they legally get him out. They'll get him out eventually, and he knows it. In the meantime, he has absolutely no qualms about stealing from this older couple. If he was actually being paid $150,000 a year by the previous couple to be their caretaker, and he's renting out rooms by the night, then he's definitely in a financial position to pay rent. He's just a greedy crook
You have to go to court to get an illegal squatter out of your own home ?! Wtf !!!
It's a civil matter and until the court determines they aren't there illegally
It’s what new yorkers voted 🗳️ for so.
I heard another story like this. You have to hire some ex-military guys for like two weeks. When the squatter leaves the house for whatever reason, they rush in an occupy it…and then throw all the squatter’s stuff out. Make up a lease with the military guys’ names as the occupants. Change all the locks and have the military guys stay there for at least a week. They are the legal tenants in that place then. That’s how someone else solved this. Even if it costs you $10k to hire that security team you get your house back.
At this point that might be the best idea
Why wouldn't the homeowner just do that himself? It doesn't make sense to me why they don't just walk in, throw the bum squatter out and change the locks.
All I can say is is a good thing that's not my house
@@chegadesuade😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know some crack heads for way cheaper 😂😂😂
My brother had that problem,people moved in and squatted in his rental house,they cursed him and said he could not throw them out,two days later he bought a few kegs of beer and told a motor cycle club a rough club they could party at the house for two days,he provided the beer and some food.those squatters bugged out quickly.
Modern problems require modern solutions.
BS
Brilliant solution. 💗
😂😂😂 great story!!
Right on!!
Wait until he leaves, go in...now it's your house again. That worked for someone else with the very same problem. Once in change locks, if he breaks in, he will be arrested as a trespasser.
He’s a tenant under law dumbass
Watch an old movie called Pacific Heights. If an owner does that, the squatter can sue them
@@tstieber. I hear what youŕ saying but I would put iron rods up in all the windows and roll down metal for the doors when they leave of course then throw away all there belongings.
Maybe even an electrified fence around the house. Very bright lights facing outside . Constant loud noise. Also a couple Dogs. 😂 What do ya think? Am i going overboard here.. HAHAHA
@@donnya205 haha yeah you'd be in so much trouble!
@@tstieberyou're talking about a movie, I'm talking about real situation that occurred that was detailed by a lawyer.
I bought a farmhouse in Sag Harbor NY in 1992 and the police told me they had arrested a squatter could I come to the station to sign papers to press charges I sure did that pronto
Kudos to Sag harbor for respecting property
SQUATTER/SQUATTING is a crime. Its called larceny, trespassing, vandalism, destruction of private property. The fact that this is allowed is an abomination to society and a slap in the face to hard working property owners.
Squatting is not necessarily a crime
@@theantiadult Only a criminal would think that.
So is illegal immigration...courts don't seem to mind..huh? You vote Dem?
never understood how someone can break into your home and just declare its theirs and you cant even go into the house. That and NYC no bail release is just opposite of logic
The real abomination is the lack of compassion towards unhoused people, and the lack of affordable housing which would solve the problem.
Avoid including the authorities and handle your business, the laws in place in so many cities are absolutely absurd.
Sadly the law will work against us.
Got to squat the squater. Maybe get someone to rent it from the guy on his AirBnN listing and then just don't leave. Maybe have that someone write up a contract from the squater that he rented it to them instead.
You gotta go ole school on this miscreant. So, where are the rights of the owners? GTFOH!!!!! I'm sorry!!!! I can't take this abuse!!!!
Just hire some muscle, no bruises, get them out of there
Or do a little bit of due diligence. This is extreme negligence to not know. 😂
The system is not broken, it is working the way it was set up to work.
Yeah, it was set up really poorly, that's what they mean by a broken system.
@@tstiebervote blue and this what you get enjoy!
@@user-kv3ob3sq1i a little oversimplified. I just voted in my elections here in california, and there are some real nut jobs on both sides. I tend to vote for the most moderate person, regardless of their party. I can get behind conservatives who are in favor of reducing bureaucracy for small businesses, keeping property taxes low, things to help with the cost of living and earning a living. But if they're mostly focused on saving society from their imaginary boogeymen, then I got no patience for wasting time like that.
So living in a blue state, all I can say is, I don't know how so many people have so much money, but people are just raking it in. I feel like we're the poorest people in a pretty nice neighborhood.
Getting what you voted 🗳️ for in new york
@@user-kv3ob3sq1i blue , red all the same.
Sorry but this needs to be handled with local street justice.
Squatters rights need to be recended. Who is in charge of these ridiculous laws?
Someone whose probably never had to deal with this their entire life. Laws are only made when it personally bothers politicians.
Entitled democrats
Liberals.
Grandpa Joe
@Kathythomas9352, Who makes ridiculous laws? Democrats, thats who.
Why are there more and more cases of squatters in America???? Why are the courts allowing this???
Me personally, I wouldn’t ask who they are and what they’re doing…..I would take them out and claim self defense, “he lunged at me, I was fearful for my life 🥺”
If they keep allowing this, people ain’t gonna save to buy a home, they just gonna squat and steal homes.
I wonder what will happen to the squatter if he takes over the Mayor's or Governor's house?
Look it up, basically these squatters are so called helping the previous owner with their life
Be it medical or something around the house. They prey on the elderly and they refuse to leave. I personally would sue the previous tenant who sold the house (family) or the realtor who sold it.
First of all, if you're willing to spend the next 10-20 years in prison for murder to get a squatter out of your house, you're not very bright. but let's be honest here. you wouldn't do a damn thing, because you're some loser keyboard warrior. irl you'd probably scamper away like a scared bunny rabbit if anyone raised their voice to you.
Courts allow illegals to walk....so no surprise.
Nah buddy you wrong if you don’t know these ppl or companies are buying large amounts of property and leaving it vacant cuz is an investment and driving the average house price up so if u ask me squatters are doing you a favor
Um...WHY does that couple STILL have power/water on at the house (and paying the bill)? Cancel that immediately 🤦🏽♀️
Just go in and squat. I would remove the windows, the doors, shut off the utilities pitch tent in the living room and throw housewarming parties and invite Hells angels.
Read about a man whose house was entered by a squatter. He still owned homes, so he was legally allowed to make "upgrades" or "remodeling" of his property. So he "hired" three friends and they took out the toilet, sink and tub...and the outside entry doors. All appliances were removed, as well. Heard someone in the neighborhood had "LARGE BOA pet snakes" and somehow they got loose and ended up moving in with the squatter....IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT. YEP...SQUATTER RAN OUT....AND ENTRY DOORS WITH NEW LOCKS WERE PUT ON SAME NIGHT. In my farming town...folks just go give " squatters" a little bonfire "roast" party....and anything left behind is burnt as bonfire trash. USA needs to get rid of "squatter rights" in EVERY STATE! YOU DIDNT BUY IT OR BUILD IT ON LAND YOU OWN....YOU SHOULDNT GET SQUAT!
I had squatters live in one of my properties and I kept having issues with the breaker box and their electricity getting turned off and then I tried to fix it with this Hammer but I didn't end up fixing it 🤔
Turn off the utilities.
I’m a bit more impatient-this is when I would make that special call to the ‘Idiot Removal Service’ - discreet of course, but you gettin outta my 💩🤨
Ya.. wish we had those established when europeans came over and squat in native american lands.. then we just wouldnt have this problem.😂😂😂😂
Redonkilas comment
🤦🏾♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦♀️️@@irmazamora4679
please keep us updated on this story... this is insane...
You’ll be waiting for possibly a year or years
They are still happily payin the utilities for the squatter lol
If you had a agreement with the old owner, and then it's sold then your previous arrangement is voided unless you have an agreement with the current owner.
Ok, I'm not a realtor but I've purchased so many properties. This just doesn't happen. When you buy a home, you go through a process of inspection after an offer is accepted and it goes into escrow. This is after you've been shown the home and know what you're getting into. It's UNHEARD of to buy a home with a squatter inside let alone going through the entire process of a closing. You know what happened? These people were so desperate to buy this home right next door to family members that they bought it illegally. There was no title company clearing the deed - you as a buyer, don't sign a deed. The seller does and then the title company transfers it over to you and you get it in the mail to keep in a safe place. Yeah, I'm not buying this story. These people were foolish and this is what happens when you don't go through the normal process of buying a home.
I'm thinking there's got to be something along those lines. But it's also possible that this guy allowed them to do the inspections, because apparently he was the caretaker before, and he might have said, sure I'll move out on such and such date and then didn't do it
My thoughts EXACTLY.
The idiot owners are paying utility bills, and pretend they have no choice. I know a few bouncers who would take a private cash contract.
This dude is snitching, pay attention
They’re not idiots! Are you a landlord tenant lawyer? After 30 days, squatters have rights. The law is dumb, not them! They can be arrested for an unlawful eviction as doing what you proposed is a constructive eviction.
I’d make it very clear he’s not welcome.
In most states, tenant laws protect the agitators and makes life a living hell for law abiding citizens.
These people are nicer than I would be. My parents had renters acting like this and we have some connections to certain kind of people who let say are not so law abiding . The renters quickly left in the middle of the night 🤣🤣
Yes! That's what I'm saying!
I normally wouldn't respect anyone having connections to criminals, but in this case I would probably give you a call. 😂
That is absolutely INSANE! I live in Texas, and that guy would have been arrested for trespassing. That is just nuts up there.
Every state and county is different but be careful because here in Florida getting mail at a residence makes you a tenant. As a landlord or homeowner you have to do things lawfully
It is trespassing even in New York City but we all know why nothings being done and the criminals are protected. Change who you vote for
Nope in TX he'd have similar rights if you can't evict him in the first 10 days. TX actually has the most liberal squatters rights laws, they specifically want people to maintain properties not just hoard them!!!
Same here in Pa.
FL tenant eviction laws 1. Post three day notice 2 (no response) serve/post five day notice. 3 no response - Sheriff comes and physically remove squatters!
I would send letters to the utility companies regarding the situation and stop paying the bills. Get this guy out.
not that simple, you need court approval
I had a voucher tenant who wouldn't switch the electric bill into her name. It couldnt be transferrred out of the owners name because someone was already living there but we convinced her to switch the account to her name by scaring her into believing the lights would be disconnected.
Sadly your not allowed to shut the water or electricity on the squatter and still need to make payments. I read about this in one case and think it is crazy.
I got a few Army buddies that can get them out by making ourselves at home, for a price. The quicker we get them out it may cost a few bucks more + a couple cases of beer
Army guys = anti-white tyrannous zogbots
Clever idea! The couple should move their own squatters in 😃
I like that idea, oh I'm not sure it would work because this guy has legal rights and the new squatters wouldn't.
Um- Did they tour the home before buying it? The previous owner (whoever it was that inherited the home) should not have been able to sell the home until it was vacated.
Does not look like they ever went inside.......Did they feel they were getting a good deal ? sight unseen ?
The video said the previous owner died so I'm just guessing that's what caused the property to become available for them to purchase. I wonder if maybe they were aware of this guy as a previous tenant but thought that when they bought the house, he would have to leave because he'd no longer be a tenant? And didn't expect him to just refuse and this law to take over? Maybe they didn't realize this law existed and weren't informed of it by the realtor because they also assumed the guy would be normal and move out? Idk, this is all pure conjecture
@@sunstripe85 You don't "assume" anything, get everything in writing. They should have specified that the house had to be vacated before closing. Apparently they closed the deal with this dude (who was apparently never a tenant but a live-in boyfriend/caregiver) of the previous owner, still living there.
@@trevorn9381That sounds like the standard language a lawyer would use in the contract. Either the lawyer didn't know what he was doing (that's their job for which they are hired after all) or the seller and the seller's agent knew there was someone living in the house.
This is heartbreaking. So the cops can come in and bust the door open if they suspect illegal guns, violence, drugs - but nothing for a felony theft, grand larceny? Mayors office gotta do something !
It's a civil theft,not a criminal theft
When they make it criminal, you would see how fast this problem will be solved.
The low life can go to a shelter or his family home.... instead of victimizing this old couple.
It should be trespassing and therefore a criminal matter as is the case in many other states. NYC needs to remember who pays the tax bills - hard working folks, not leeches
@@bryans4891if you have residence or mail somewhere you are a tenant. It's a civil matter
@@bryans4891 So if you happen to have guns in that house and the squatter gets inside. Will the cops arrest them for illegal possession of stolen guns.
This is insane, why didn’t the realtor get him out before he sold the house??
Legally a realtor can't do that...the owner has to
Guys help me understand this bcuz something is not completely right with this story. Didn’t they do at least a final walk through to be sure the house was empty before signing the deed? It must have been so good of a deal they thought and decided to ignore all the red flags.
Never ever sign the deed or any final paperwork if the house is not completely empty the day you are scheduled to sign them.
We've seen and heard of so many similar horror stories already. So do your due diligence and protect yourself.
You should go find the comment thread started by yagga8885, who says they're a former L&T lawyer. It's eye opening. It turns out a law was passed only super recently which requires the seller to disclose property conditions which it sounds like includes squatters. They can't turn off the utilities because it's illegal
It’s their own home, they have the right to turn off the utilities if they want.
@@cw1627not if someone is living in it, I believe. Although that's a stupid law because a tenant would have to put utilities in their name anyway
@@cw1627incorrect. Fact is they never should have turned them on without checking the house first
If family live next door, how come they didn’t say anything about someone in the home?
If you still live in NY, California, Washington, DC, and you haven't planned your exit, it's on YOU.
True.. but now it appears we have to EXIT the US altogether.. because each state will fall like monopoly 😅
They unfortunately have squatters rights in lots of states.
new york getting what they voted 🗳️ for.
He lived there. Almost every state you legally live there if you've been there thirty days
Lol you know Georgia North Carolina I literally watch squatter videos from those States Grandpa go to sleep your not making any sense and your acting like Joe Biden rambling about being old and not knowing how the country or how the world works
If the squatter wasn't disclosed at closing then sue the hell out of the sellers.
tell us again WHY they are paying the electric bill? or water bill?
Turn off the water and electric and that squatter will sue big time, that is the unfortunate reality.
Nothing would make me more happy than going there and personally taking care of this problem for this lady, we need to send a message to these people that if you try this, it's not going to end well for you, we need to take matters into our own hands here. This is unequivocally wrong.
Would be nice to get the community to protest from the sidewalk, shout loudly through bull horns, shine bright lights into the house at night, that sort of thing. As long as the owner doesn't do it, it would be freedom of speech
Then you’ll go to jail for assault and battery. Worth it?
@@GillAgainsIsland12never said a word about assaulting anyone. I have different methods.
@@jeremychurch5683 Interesting. But they still can sue you for anything you do to drive them out. You'd have to do something that's untraceable to you.
In the words of the late great biggie smalls. Kick in the door waving the .44 all you heard was poppa don’t hit me no more
I've commented above that this happened to my mate in Ireland last year. Came back from being in the merchant navy and some guy broke into his house and was staying there for 4 months. My mate rang up his "friends" who happened to be the local motorcycle chapter of Cork and told this guy under no uncertain terms that if he didn't remove himself this guy would loose the use of both his legs. Downside is not everyone in this situation knows these sorts of people so I can imagine how utterly stressful it is.
@Matthew_80 LMFAO 😂🔥💯
Never close on a home that's not empty.
Squatter laws have to come off the books, this is madness. Down here in Atlanta returned home from a tour to find a man squatting in her home. It took a serval months before she could get him out. It’s madness.
Why can't they turn off the utilities?
He would sue them as landlords who are forcing him to live in unlivable conditions.
@@Omar_Zazzle Good point, but are not renters & there is no contract. These squatters know how to manipulate.
When I purchased my house 3 yrs ago, I did a final walk through, so I don't understand how this person was not seen or known before purchasing. Something was not conveyed or buyers did not head a warning some where during the buying process...I am sure the realtors even knew a dude was in that house...smdh
Yep they got these people but at the end of the day they should have checked it out
Judges need to be held accountable for allowing this. I seen one family not get their home back for 2 yrs. Meanwhile the woman is traveling the country with her daughter for cheerleading
People like that have absolutely no moral code. They actually feel good about stealing. Once they kick out squatters like that, they really should be criminally prosecuted
Would be a different story if it were a politician's home.
When we sold our mother's home in Atlanta we thought we may have to put in the contract that my brother came with the house. He was living there rent free and mooching for 20+ years.
I’m guessing this house was purchased sight unseen. How else would the buyers not know the home was occupied?
time to call the homies and mask up.
I think they missed a lot of steps prior to buying this house. Getting an inspection is so important 😊
Florida has a new squatters bill going to the Governor's desk for signature. It give the homeowner immediate right to evict with the assistance of the police if the squatters cannot produce a legal lease. This should be the law in all states.
They keep telling you all that you dont own anything. You STILL dont listen.
💯 and they will keep being shocked when they get what they voted 🗳️ for.
How did they sell a home with a squatter in it?
He said he was the previous caretaker of the old couple that owned it, so he must have been living there continuously
Man would have met a pew pew 😊
Bro bought Amityville house and didn't expect problems haha
😂
How the hell did the realtor acting on the sale not inform clients of squatter? Give back your commission to help the owners pay the utilities and legal costs now!
We don't know if that's true. The guy was apparently living there for a long time to help the older couple, getting paid a freaking fortune, and he might have just told them he was going to move out at close of escrow and lied
If they were sold the house and cannot move in, they should sue the real estate agency and then let them get their big-time warriors involved and I bet they’ll get them evicted quickly
That such bull! There needs to be a law to protect homeowners from this type of stuff!
What type of house is that. We don’t have them where I’m from?
Whatever happened to the final walk through when the closing occurred?!?!?! Owners must’ve known!
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.!!!! THEY SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO GET ALL OF THEIR MONEY BACK FROM THE STATE FOR LETTING THIS TRAVESTY HAPPEN.!!!! THE STATE SHOULD BE LIABLE TO.!!!!!!!😮😮😮
Well they voted 🗳️ for this so.
I don't claim to have all the answers but another situation happened like this and when the squatter went down the road for groceries the owner ( or friend of the owner ) moved in temporarily and changed the locks and the new 'squatter' has rights over the older squatter and they got their home back........If they squatter never leaves that is one thing but most people have to go out and buy food etc......A neighbor informed them when they squatter couple left the property but you have to change all locks and leave their belonging outside so they can retrieve them. You need to stay in the property so they don't try and return and out squatter you if you get my drift.
wonderful if squatter leaves-usually squatter stays or has someone else in house if they leave
Please finish your GED.
If that was my house, he would come out, one way or another. He could walk out himself, or the coroner would bring him out. 😅😅
you wouldn't do anything at all internet tough guy, give us a break and go tell mommy to make you chicken tendies.
@@obie224🤣🤣🤣💯
Be honest you wouldn’t do diddly squat…🤔
@@elincognito2135where you squatting at lmao
@trappersdad6855 thank you for saying I’m one of a kind…
Congratulations to the man,
This is another prime reason why you shouldn't let the government be involved in your business take matters in your hands and take care of the business
Another reason I won’t go to New York
not just a NY problem and its going to get worse before it gets better with millions of illegals coming into the country
This story blows me away. This is my third home that I own I would just die if I couldn’t move into it. I’m so sorry for this craziness.
You fight fire with fire 🔥
*Beverly Hill Building Inspector Axel Foley* back at it again! 😂
I don't understand why they leave the utilities on
Hmmmm think I might become a squatter myself! You’re hella protected 😁😁😁
Idk if this law is in NY but in illinois a house is uninhabitable without hot water. And i once was kicked out because the landlord refused to pay for gas. (It was a blessing i wanted out of my lease). Maybe they can look for the least damaging way to get the code inspector to make it uninhabitable
The government has been squatting here for over 200 years. I'm not surprised at all.
This is why having a big family is important. If this happened to me and my family, the squatter would wake up in the middle of the woods with broken limbs
NO LEASE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥ARE YOU FREAKIN SERIOUS🔥🔥🔥🔥
These people are too kind if that was my parents home he would leave and never think or coming back
Would it be legal to start renovating projects, which take down all the walls?
No it's not
Why would you close on a house without doing an inspection?
Business idea: Create a service that uses a variety of legal means, with increasing severity as the situation demands, to compel the squatters to leave. I’m surprised someone hasn’t already done this.
It is currently happening on my block in Queens. 😮
What happens if you go in the house, see a strange person in your house and shoot an intruder who turns out to be a squatter? Sorry, you thought it was an intruder.
This state is going to hell in a hand basket.
I wonder why??? Could it be the leadership???
I heard a story in the YT vids of how the homeowners spoke with the neighbors & everyone agreed on a plan.
They got a humongous loud speaker & played death metal music for the entire day several days until squatters finally moved out.
why didn't they do a home inspection first before buying the house
It's queens. What happened to cement shoes?
How did he get inside without then noticing???
I got rid of my squatters in a hurry - no court case needed. I just got a gruffy, mean looking thug to sit in a chair in front of the house for a while.
I told the squatters to avoid him because I thought he was a Mafia hit-man who was casing the joint for his boss as a nice place to rent.
Two hours later, the place was empty.
It ain't what you do ... it's what they think you will do !
Welcome to New York 😂..this is everywhere... everywhere.
absolutely insane
