Squatters vs Landlords Heated Discussion

Squatters vs Landlords Heated Discussion
"We want to send a clear message to squatters, anyone trying to squat, that your days are over in New York," Assemblyman Ron Kim said.
New York has recently passed a new anti-squatting law, addressing the issue of squatters occupying properties unlawfully. This legislation, signed by Governor Kathy Hochul, aims to limit the rights of squatters while still ensuring they have some legal protections.
Key changes include clarifying that squatters do not have the same protections as tenants, thus making it easier for property owners to reclaim their properties. Squatters must now demonstrate that they have a right to be on the property, shifting the burden of proof onto them rather than the property owner. The law also states that squatters are entitled to due process, meaning owners cannot use self-help eviction methods but must go through the legal system to remove squatters
Additionally, the law includes measures to prevent property owners from misusing these provisions against legitimate tenants. If an owner wrongfully evicts someone, the victim can seek damages, including triple the rent value, court costs, and attorney fees.

I don’t understand why everyone has to compare it to another state. Look at the law, read the law. That law makes no sense. In essence that law says someone can buy a piece of property, leave it for 30 days and unknowingly have a person take possession of their property and then they have to pay thousands upon thousands of dollars to get their property back. Doesn’t make sense. if it is another person‘s property, it’s the property regardless of how many days it’s been since they’ve checked on it. What about service members who have to leave for 3 to 6 months at a time? It’s OK that they come back and don’t have a home to go back to because they haven’t been there for 30 days? Ridiculous.

This is a great example of making a video before you know the topic.
NYC is unique but the laws passed their affect everyone. Homelessness in NYC is fostered by NYC laws. Change the laws and have less homeless. Cash Jordan has a great yt channel that speaks about the situation.
You guys are coming at this from never having bought a property. Banks, real estate agents and government agencies can draw out the transfer of property. Leins and lawsuits keep properties vacant. The extreme complexity that NYC has created for itself is why all this is happening. But all that aside for you to say that a slacker, a failure at controlling his impulses type guy should be able to take over property that I've earned? To Hell with you both. And Bless y'all's hearts!

First time watching your channel. Most likely going to be the last. You guys are so off base it's not funny. I just happen to be a locksmith who changes the locks on squatters as a regular part of my business. Squatters cost property owners a ton of money and do massive amounts of damage to the property. If you own something, nobody else is entitled to it.
