Even if you take over that million dollar mansion, aren't you responsible for paying that high property taxes which I'm sure the average American can't afford? Confused!!!😳
heavymentalkings he is not a renter, he isn't paying anyone. He is taking ownership & responsibly for that house. Renters pay owners. He isn't paying anyone. Someone has to pay taxes on it regardless.
Lindsey Moran LOL. Are you a deadbeat too? Do you squat in a house that doesn't belong to you? Adverse Possession is a bullshit law, used by deadbeats. Thankfully the vast majority don't get far before being thrown back out flat on their ass. I have these things called integrity and honor, therefore I don't try to lay claim to things I know aren't mine. It has nothing to do with my intelligence Ms. Moran (sounds suspiciously close to moron, BTW).
Squatters go to beat down homes and hide like roaches. Ppl that do Adverse possession pay property taxes still and the community must be informed that they are there until the property rolls over to their name, there’s a lot of legal documentation that’s invloved
I was renting a house to my son in-laws brother who I never met until he came and signed a rental agreement. Always late on rent when he did pay, I lowered the rent so he could possibly afford it but no payment. Finally he was arrested for spouse abuse. Lucky for me I didn't have to evict him. Then I heard he was telling people I abandoned my house, so I assume he was trying to take my house....funny. This was about 2 years ago. And the lowlife is still in prison....well he don't have to pay rent now.. We all pay his rent now, the piece of shit..
Squatters laws vary from state-to-state in the US. Where I live, a squatter can't just take over a property registered to another owner, lessee, or renter. Adverse possession doesn't apply in Massachusetts, so squatters would be immediately arrested for breaking and entering and trespassing. Regarding abandoned property, it would belong to the bank if it was foreclosed on, and the bank would have squatters arrested. The law should be the same nationwide, in my opinion... but each state has its own guidelines, and operates differently.
I heard of a homeless man that moved into an historic home that had been abandoned for over 10 years. It was basically in ruins. He was a handyman by trade before he became homeless. Not only did he restore the house, but he did it to historical period. He also started a business in his community and the neighbors were tickled for what he did for the property. He saved the property and was trying to buy (land value) it from the bank that abandoned it. Too bad all squatters can't be this way. I feel that abandoned properties with no real hope of selling in rough condition should be offered to capable people rent free if they can do a care taker service for the property for however long it takes to do it plus a few years after that.
Abandoned 10 years 😳 That's a condemned shack! If he fixed it up properly, the bank should let him have it! He should just pay the annual real estate taxes 😊
Yes...if they were do gooders down on their luck trying to repay it wouldnt be so insulting but either way SOMEONE has to pay for the house for him to live in....that situation is different, these are usually theives doing this...
@@deannekliene2673 He did it without asking for help, while he worked part time for food and necessities and use a ton of recycled and salvaged materials. Again, this was rare because he had a love for structures like this, but if something like this were offered to people WHO KNOW HOW, not just a squatter, it would be a good thing for that person and the community.
I can’t stand these sovereign citizen people. He said he wants to live free? Ok buddy that’s absolutely fine…. Do it without taking something that isn’t yours. Absolutely absurd.
Here in Canada this law came into effect in the early days of settlement because the wealthy were buying up and hoarding thousands of acres but not settling and interfering with development. This I learned from researching the Black Donnelley's story.
I read history and the advancements we could have today only if a one or two people were allowed to profit exponentially. You have to look at both sides of the coin with these people, the good die young, nice guys finish last, to get ahead you have to take advantage are warnings not sayings.
the purpose of the law is to prevent banks from repo'ing a house and letting it sit dormant. its far better to have an occupant than waste a perfectly livable property.
Adverse possession laws go back to Henry VIII. They are designed to put unproductive land back into production. Back in Henry's day, it was big landowners who held huge areas of fertile farmland but did not do anything with it except hunt deer. That law came to the US and at the time of the Revolution and the US Constitutional government, the states all had the same law. There are abandoned properties and adverse possession is used by many people to get possession of them. You have to live on the property, pay the taxes, and publicly claim ownership for a specific period of time. The problem here is that these properties are not abandoned and have owners who have to go to court and eject the squatters. In fact, depending on the state you are in, you can often simply call the police and have them come out and remove the squatters. If you listened to the actual television report you would know that people trying this often in up with criminal charges filed against them.
Why? And to who? The "government"... Oh.. The people who'd mismanage a Walmart store credit card if you gave it to them? Get out of your fantasy and start congratulating creative people instead of being jealous you don't have the intestinal fortitude to LEGALLY SCHEME, while the government ILLEGALLY SCHEMES. The gov has falsely arrested or acted upon all of the people featured in this video and calls them "terrorist" in order to prevent people like YOU from getting any funny ideas about who the ones in control are. They don't want us to confuse ourselves for having any actual power.
You are the furthest thing from a legal expert. Why don't you go around squatting in houses? We know, bc you know enough about this that - you wouldn't have a leg to stand on. The only entity that can protect your rights is the government, that's who has the justice system, and who actually owns all the land, whether you bought it or not (taxes) you don't pay property taxes every year= you lose it. Any more questions, 'patriot'?
CB Random no one would go squatting cuz you would pay for the fucking house. How about you go squatting and you gotta pay. YOU DO BECAUSE YOU STAYED THERE FUCKING MORON
This is crazy! People are just walking into homes and claiming them.... even when someone is trying to sell the house and owns it!! I would flip my lid if I found a fucking squatter in my place...
+Kitsune Aitsuki If you were foreclosed on, then that house wouldn't be yours any longer would it? So why be so pissed off? Shouldn't you be pissed off at the bank for kicking you out of the place first?
+Nigel Pettitt Almost. really the banks are just sitting on them so they don't lower the overall market to a point that more than 20% of people can afford.
Apparently the people who responded to you don't know how to read because these squatters don't just move into homes that have been foreclosed on by the banks. There are cases where people who own the homes have it on the market. And for whatever reason they aren't living in the house. Either they are living in their new home waiting for the old one to be sold. Or they had to move to another state before the home was sold. And some squatter comes along and moves in.
Adverse possession is taught in real estate schools. It's on the real estate exams. It's no big deal. Adverse possession is a method of acquiring title to real property by possession for a statutory period under certain conditions, viz: proof of non-permissive use which is actual, open and notorious, exclusive, adverse, and continuous for the statutory period.

Bank stealing house with owner inside= legal. Bank receives bailout, managers get a bonus. Homeless sleeping on a street/car/abandoned house= hardened criminal, goes to jail and gets a fine. The law has to be changed, bankers should be the ones in prison and decent people should have the right to have a home!
Whether a house is vacant, or not, it is still owned by someone!!! We had this exact issue with some bum that broke into our Grandmothers (passed away) house. This bum was trouncing all over our memories!! Defacating everywhere!!!! No respect whatsoever!!!!! When we said there is a shelter right down the street, his reply was, "no room there". BS!!!!! I have no sympathy for anyone that breaks into someone else's house!!!! They can pound sand!!!!
I am for this in detroit.it actually helps the neighborhood in many cases.because a lot of squatters are families who have fallen on hard times.they keep these houses maintained do work in them and Keep them from being vandalized or turned into trapp houses.In fact lots of times neighbors are relieved in some cases.
Law was made back in the days when people moved out and abandoned their home or were killed. The new settlers came in and took it over. It wasn't meant for any empty house, especially in this century.
Why not do like I do. Put a ADT alarm on your property. When these squatters try to move in and trip the alarm the Police will sent out to the property and when the squatters cannot provide the correct password to the ADT alarm company off to jail they go for Felony Burglary. Last count for me as of this year 38 squatters arrested and jailed. Much cheaper than going to court to get them out and no property damage...
Exactly... if you’re going to become a squatter you must pay the property taxes and also file at the local courthouse when you start paying property taxes on a house you are legally the owner. Most bank don’t pay the property taxes when the home is off the market. If your going to be a squatter take picture of the home inside and out. Change the locks keep all receipts of all home-improvement that you’ve done to the house and also pay the property tax. You can know charge the bank for double for the money you spent to up keep the property.... I’ve seen this done servers times....
Squatters were big news in NYC, my hometown, back in the 80s. Loots of buildings were abandoned in the East Village, then considered an undesirable neighborhood. People moved in , somehow provided electricity and running water and generally improved the buildings. It couldn't last, of course. The owners of record (if memory serves, the city itself, in most cases) had the squatters removed, sometimes violently. The properties currently go for some of the highest rentals in the city, which is saying something.
Its no different from when pilgrims came and claimed the New frontier as theirs even though the Indians owned it. North Carolina has the mow the grass law which grants ownership after you now the property's grass for 3-5 years straight.
I know someone who came back from vacation and found someone in their home who abandoned so they claimed that it was their home for this reason. Not all homes that are empty of people are abandoned. It took them months to get these people out and in that time period they had sold some of their personal items. They got them for steeling but could not replace what could not what they sold. They are only taking part of the law not all. There is more to that law than they are claiming.
I think the State should have to pay people for not protecting their home and allowing squatters in their home while they are on vacation. The State should have to pay for what they stold if they was going to let them steal somebody's home.
This happened to a friend of mine .... We put cameras on the property,waited until he left,changed all the locks ......and waited until he returned....he then called the police... While he was gone we took all his belongings and put them in the garage.....staged all room as we had " rented" them to some females "while back"..we had toothbrushes , boxes of tampons ,shoes ,underware all over the place... When the police and this jackass came to the door we said" When we came back to the residence we notice some idems in the house and put them in the garage( TV etc.) We told the police( sorry about the lies but had to do what we had to do) "All the rooms, 3 bedrooms have been rented out... We do not know who this indevidual is but we did put some stuff in the garage if he wants them ,he can have them"... The police did come inside the residence ,checked the rooms and Lord behold all the rooms looked like " other ppl were living in them"..... worked for us ... On the way out the squatter looked back and said" Didnt think of this trick before". Law will not work in these cases sorry to say that.
What's also ridiculous is the bank will foreclose the house because they have trouble making the mortgage due to various circumstances, but are still able to pay some of it. Instead of working out a plan with the owners, they let the house sit there for months. When squatters see no activity in the house they move right in and claim it. Banks need to be held accountable.
This adverse possession business is a crime, it's squatting, and needs to be treated as such. Squatters are criminals, and crimes like squatting (trespassing, breaking an entry, unlawful entry) need to be punishable, not rewardable. IMHO anyone squatting in a house should be forcibly removed and confined to jail.
Then you say something that the law doesn’t. All states have different laws regarding adverse possession. It is legal in Illinois if you have lived on the property at least 7 years.
If I were to do that, I'd still keep my job, save up so much money, then when I get kicked out, buy a house. And yet these idiots can't play their cards right and just stick with "living free".
What's better is, you pick a expensive house in California. They only require you stay in the house for 5 years before you can get ownership. Then once you have the title to the house, you can put it on the market. Easy and quick way to make quite a large amount of money.
At least the house is being taken care of there's so many bank-owned properties in abandoned homes and it's very disturbing these beautiful homes there just left abandoned to fall apart
Also 'squatters' don't tend to be the kind of people that take an interest in the building they occupy. You don't hear of squatters renovating or restoring an old place. Quite the reverse.
Not true! Or maybe only true in other countries. I saw a video of an old theatre, in the UK, where a whole community of squatters is living and going to refurbish/revive it if the city lets them. The Beatles even played there, but it ended having to be shutdown b/c some Archdiocese was holding and molesting kids in their creepy basement that looks like a prison! It's on youtube. Some group of people who look in abandoned buildings.
The news failed to mention the cases that were sucessdull bc the squatter put work into the property. This is how A.P. laws are supposed to work, they favor the person or party upping thw property value.
1:45 - The legal process of "Adverse Possession" is enforced and regulated for property that is "Clearly And Obviously Abandoned", and the legal doctrine is supported when a person does major repairs to a property that is "Abandoned And Deteriorating", and adds great financial value to the "Abandoned Property". Additionally, you need to hire a "Private Investigator" to search for the owner before moving into property that is "Clearly And Obviously Abandoned".
Jackie Taylor they only do that shit in America. Why don’t they just go to a country that doesn’t have these laws? Bums but still want first world amenities
We live in one of the best countries in the world (USA). My neighbor is from Romania and his wife was born in China. They both say that living here is a blessing and most Americans have no idea how good they have it. We can't be completely free to do what we want because what we do affects those around us. If there were no law about loud music my other neighbor could blast his music day and night. I'd probably have to creep over there in the middle of the night and kill him (well, not really, but maybe I'd steal all his radio equipment). That's why there's laws that some of us aren't happy about. We need the laws to help keep the peace.
If they want to live free then they should start their own community and build it from the ground up. Very simple to rid society of these bums, just make them "disappear" suspiciously.
***** Then go ahead and do it. Always a vigilante in the neighborhood that will take that person out. I work for a living, not going to let a property that should be bought with money and lovingly cared for be taken over by bums. At the least squatters could mow the lawn and upkeep the home but I guess they're too entitled for that right?
Djonkie Bonk it is none of you business or concern who lives on someone elses property advers possesion is a legal and morally correct way to keep propertys viable.
If this country provided adequate help to homeless ppl or those in need this would not happen I am glad for any homeless squatters who gained legal right to a home....
If a home is on the market or off the market for a long time why not allow people to have it!!! Especcialy if they take care of it. Abandoned homes should be blessed to some folks. No offense to home owners but nobody should be without a place.
So let me get this straight: People get foreclosed on and evicted by the bank for a house that they have been "paying" on faithfully until hard times hit them and can no longer pay, only to have someone take adverse possession and not pay one thin dime to just move in and live there and no one can make them leave? And destroy the house in the process?? What the fuck.......The banks should have worked harder to let people "keep" their homes to begin with, and not let them lose it to squatters who will ruin the home. Makes no sense to me.
kellyv70 The main problem is property taxes, in which the government still want your money even though you have fully paid for the house. And also not having new econonic reform such as an option to have an extention of the loan to the owners children, the monent they are old enough to work. This would reduce the pressure of time limitation, plus, lets say if it was for a 25 year mortgage for $400,000 house at 2.5 interest per annum, the interest would be a total of $250,000 but the monthly repayment would be $2,167. However, if it was a 40 year mortgage, the interest would be $400,000 but it would be $1,667 a month. $500 a month is a huge difference. In most Asian countries, we do this. That is why a lot of smart youths still stay with their parents, they help to finish off a 40-50 year old home loan. And then the grandchildren would not to spend a lot of money on a new home loan but to just loan for home improvement or making the house bigger. That is why the economies of most Asian countries are rising since getting independence from Western countries between the 1950-1980s.
The law is the same in the UK. If the owners are long gone and abandoned the place, squatters can move in. After ten years if they have proof that they have been looking after the property, fixing problems, paying bills, then the property gets put in their name. If they were homeless people - I don't see anything wrong. If they are anti-social and disturbing neighbours, they can call the Police.

My parents beach house in California had a squatter and we live in Texas so we only go there twice a year sometimes and he was saying he owned the house it was nasty we chokehold him and kicked his ass it was a huge issue but after court and all he was found guilty
@@Imgone71 did it ever occur to your privileged ass that the squatter was homeless? Can you even comprehend that literally statistically 50% of Americans are 1 paycheck &/or emergency away from being homeless? Yall are judgemental assholes & I bet you'd sing a different tune if god forbid it happened to you.
Adverse Possession papers filed in the county, then the Property Tax is due from the new filer. Don't pay the taxes, then the county owns it!!!! Could be a sneaky way that the county plans to acquire these homes through street bums.
Did you watch the entire thing? They all got kicked out and arrested. And the law says you have to live there for years. The owners can kick you out at any point though. You only get the land if the owners fail to act for 10+ years. So no, you can't just get the land that easily. It takes years. You may get a couple months free rent but then you'll most likely end up in jail. So you decide. Is jail worth saving a couple months rent?
If they manage to gain ownership of the home by squatting can they just turn around and immediately sell the home for 100% profit? That's what I would wonder... since legitimately taking ownership he would have to pay property tax, no?
Yes you can. Easy way to make a large amount of money. California would be the fastest way. You only need to stay there for 5 years before you get the title to the house. I live in Seattle, been squatting in a place now for almost 2 years. I'm a holdover though, the lease ended but I stayed. I haven't been bothered or anything, and I'm pretty comfortable here. I already consider it my house.
Yeah if you read the law you must be exclusive to any owners, doing what you just said is home invasion. At this point though its not a home, its an empty house. Its funny people get upset when other people live in the houses, but not when banks take them and let them rot, its like I told my gf the other day, do you ever wonder why I ashe my cigarettes in the floor in my room, because its not my room, and its really not the "owners" because he will pay taxes indefinetly. So one day he will pass, and his family will either get it, or it will be foreclosed and the bank will get it, and they will resell it, so should I keep their room clean? Honestly? Now the day I own something freely, I will fix it up and take good care of it, but I wont slave for someone else, ill live in a tent first. Thats not to say I will do this what these people are doing im not that dumb, I dont have that kind of tax money u have to pay the taxes, and too many nosey neighbors, Id go somewhere no one would bother me and do it though, out in some mountain.
Squatting and Adverse Possession are not synonymous of one another. They're in fact very different things. Another thing, if used properly; Adverse Possession can be beneficial to society as a whole. It can reduce homelessness, provide communities with more value and prevent properties from becoming ruins.
Inbred, not "inbread" If you understand what inbred means, you might be an example of it.. Evasion, not "invasion". Those are both words, but have completely different meanings..
I have watched a lot of these beautiful homes on youtube laying empty and rotting away many I understand from what I have read are owned by the bank. I think just maybe the bank should let people live there and they (the homeless) pay the bank an agreed rent to become caretakers of the property. Just saying.....
So homeless people get to live in Mansions and ordinary hardworking people with jobs have to pay their rents/mortgages for their middle class homes?? How's that fair? In other words... How is that not promoting homelessness? If I have to work to be in the middle class while the homeless get to live in a mansion then where do I sign up to be homeless? These are the rational ideas and implications that DON'T run through the brains of extreme liberals.
In a caretaking role they would pay rent agreed by the bank, Is it not better than a place rotting away or people stealing from empty places nevertheless I do see your point.
So you mean to tell me I can stop struggling paying this high ass rent that I'm paying and just go squat in some abandon home for thirty days and it's mine🙄🤔 wow .....
What about deleting that "obscure law" ? What I can live with is that if houses are empty more than a certain period, for ex. 3 years, that the owner can choose two options: either pay a high tax on this empty house or step to a to be created organisation, that selects homeless people based on a number of criteria who can move in for a certain period, say, until they found a house to rent. That organisation is then responsible to keep track of the efforts that the temporary occupants do, or even, to propose the temporary occupants such an option. The temporary occupants can only refuse 2 times such an offer. And of course, the rightful owner of the house can claim its property back in the same way as he or she can, should he have rented the house. Of course, there's one remaning problem, what if the temporary owners steal things out of that house (marble etc.) or degrade it, change it to their liking etc.
The squatters are right... you just cant say it because every homeless family will have a new house and there is not enough police to do anything about it
If a heritage building is truly abandoned and someone moves into and looks after it then by all means... but no people would rather complain about an eyesore than actually do anything about it
"Where are they now?" Susan was sentenced to 40 years, with 20 years to serve in prison and the rest on probation. . . and the name Shawn Adrian Pender...graft should probably say grift, as he got a $170,000 bail, etc.
It only worked when nobody made a legal protest for a certain period of time anyways. It was intended to prevent property from being permanently abandoned.
This goes on in the UK all the time. Renters refuse to leave and don't pay the rent. The owner of the owner of the home has to go to court for an order telling the squatters to leave but they don't. Then the owner goes back to court for an ordter transferring his ownership to him. They he pays 1000 ponds to the High Court to get the Bailiffs to evict the squatters. While this goes on and we're talking a year sometimes the owner gets no rent and is required to provide electric and water and gas at his expense. Those bills must be in the homeowner's name not the tenants. The Police do nothing since the law has made everything a civil matter leaving the homeowner to spend huge sums on lawyers and court fees.
Squatters are such a national epidemic that I see a huge money-making opportunity for hiring offsite property managers. They only need to live in the area so can swing by any time, change the locks, and be enough of a presence to deter anyone from moving in (or staying there). Banks own so many abandoned properties, it makes no sense that they don't at least hire someone to protect the ones in the better neighborhoods. For an absent property owner, what options are there to protect their empty property? Hire a full time house sitter ? (Not cheap). I don't know if the offsite property manager business model exists, but seems to me there's a huge demand for this kind of service.
Adverse possession is a cherished common law doctrine which goes back hundreds of years and basically says if a property is abandoned and somebody else can use it they have the right to use it. There was a couple in Maryland who use this to get a house from their son. He had moved out of the house 20 something years previous; because he was facing foreclosure, and his parents moved in and made payments for over 20 years and then the son tried to claim the property because his name was on the deed. In that case adverse possession prevented a great injustice.

Not true. Many banks have went out of business, leaving thousands of properties open. Taxes get paid, you have a legal claim to a property.
I heard of a homeless man that moved into an historic home that had been abandoned for over 10 years. It was basically in ruins. He was a handyman by trade before he became homeless. Not only did he restore the house, but he did it to historical period. He also started a business in his community and the neighbors were tickled for what he did for the property. He saved the property and was trying to buy (land value) it from the bank that abandoned it. Too bad all squatters can't be this way. I feel that abandoned properties with no real hope of selling in rough condition should be offered to capable people rent free if they can do a care taker service for the property for however long it takes to do it plus a few years after that.
Abandoned 10 years 😳 That's a condemned shack! If he fixed it up properly, the bank should let him have it! He should just pay the annual real estate taxes 😊
If he was homeless where did he get the money and how did he pay for the tools etc., to do the repairs. What this is, is just a fabricated story.
Nobody is above the law even bums. Your fairy tale is not real life every thief has a story.
Yes...if they were do gooders down on their luck trying to repay it wouldnt be so insulting but either way SOMEONE has to pay for the house for him to live in....that situation is different, these are usually theives doing this...
@@deannekliene2673 He did it without asking for help, while he worked part time for food and necessities and use a ton of recycled and salvaged materials. Again, this was rare because he had a love for structures like this, but if something like this were offered to people WHO KNOW HOW, not just a squatter, it would be a good thing for that person and the community.
I can’t stand these sovereign citizen people. He said he wants to live free? Ok buddy that’s absolutely fine…. Do it without taking something that isn’t yours. Absolutely absurd.
Here in Canada this law came into effect in the early days of settlement because the wealthy were buying up and hoarding thousands of acres but not settling and interfering with development. This I learned from researching the Black Donnelley's story.
B e a utiful
I read history and the advancements we could have today only if a one or two people were allowed to profit exponentially. You have to look at both sides of the coin with these people, the good die young, nice guys finish last, to get ahead you have to take advantage are warnings not sayings.
No one is concerned with Canada.
this kind of law is ridiculous.
Razz Berry I know right! If you want to live in mansion then get a JOB and work for it!!!!
What happens when you pay off your house but do not pay land taxes?
Do you still think the house will be yours?
the purpose of the law is to prevent banks from repo'ing a house and letting it sit dormant.
its far better to have an occupant than waste a perfectly livable property.

Adverse possession laws go back to Henry VIII. They are designed to put unproductive land back into production. Back in Henry's day, it was big landowners who held huge areas of fertile farmland but did not do anything with it except hunt deer. That law came to the US and at the time of the Revolution and the US Constitutional government, the states all had the same law. There are abandoned properties and adverse possession is used by many people to get possession of them. You have to live on the property, pay the taxes, and publicly claim ownership for a specific period of time. The problem here is that these properties are not abandoned and have owners who have to go to court and eject the squatters. In fact, depending on the state you are in, you can often simply call the police and have them come out and remove the squatters. If you listened to the actual television report you would know that people trying this often in up with criminal charges filed against them.
Foreclosure homes are owned by a bank Abandoned home is a different story lol

Foreclosure is just first step, after sometime has passed that's abandoned, hate it but that's is law loophole.

Make him pay the taxes owed on that house IMMEDIATELY!
Why? And to who? The "government"... Oh.. The people who'd mismanage a Walmart store credit card if you gave it to them? Get out of your fantasy and start congratulating creative people instead of being jealous you don't have the intestinal fortitude to LEGALLY SCHEME, while the government ILLEGALLY SCHEMES. The gov has falsely arrested or acted upon all of the people featured in this video and calls them "terrorist" in order to prevent people like YOU from getting any funny ideas about who the ones in control are. They don't want us to confuse ourselves for having any actual power.
You are the furthest thing from a legal expert. Why don't you go around squatting in houses? We know, bc you know enough about this that - you wouldn't have a leg to stand on. The only entity that can protect your rights is the government, that's who has the justice system, and who actually owns all the land, whether you bought it or not (taxes) you don't pay property taxes every year= you lose it. Any more questions, 'patriot'?
na na or fight to end property taxes altogether.
CB Random no one would go squatting cuz you would pay for the fucking house. How about you go squatting and you gotta pay. YOU DO BECAUSE YOU STAYED THERE FUCKING MORON

This is crazy! People are just walking into homes and claiming them.... even when someone is trying to sell the house and owns it!! I would flip my lid if I found a fucking squatter in my place...
+Kitsune Aitsuki If you were foreclosed on, then that house wouldn't be yours any longer would it?
So why be so pissed off? Shouldn't you be pissed off at the bank for kicking you out of the place first?
+lucky258i no you should be pissed off at yourself for being a loser bum and not paying your bills 😉
+Nigel Pettitt Almost. really the banks are just sitting on them so they don't lower the overall market to a point that more than 20% of people can afford.
Apparently the people who responded to you don't know how to read because these squatters don't just move into homes that have been foreclosed on by the banks. There are cases where people who own the homes have it on the market. And for whatever reason they aren't living in the house. Either they are living in their new home waiting for the old one to be sold. Or they had to move to another state before the home was sold. And some squatter comes along and moves in.
lucky258i and yourself for not paying your bills or is that also someone else's fault?
Adverse possession is taught in real estate schools. It's on the real estate exams. It's no big deal. Adverse possession is a method of acquiring title to real property by possession for a statutory period under certain conditions, viz: proof of non-permissive use which is actual, open and notorious, exclusive, adverse, and continuous for the statutory period.
Its stupid, nuff said.
What if a sibling moved into a house that belong to her parent that had been abandoned for three years due to damage. This sibling fixes the house and lives there a few years. Can her other sibling force her to sell the property so she can cash in her share of the inheritance?

Bank stealing house with owner inside= legal. Bank receives bailout, managers get a bonus.
Homeless sleeping on a street/car/abandoned house= hardened criminal, goes to jail and gets a fine.
The law has to be changed, bankers should be the ones in prison and decent people should have the right to have a home!
Let's just give 'em the home because. Just because! This payment thing is so 1990's.
Stealing? Bank is taking back what is theirs. You don't own the house without lien.
And how did they first enter these locked houses 💡
Whether a house is vacant, or not, it is still owned by someone!!! We had this exact issue with some bum that broke into our Grandmothers (passed away) house. This bum was trouncing all over our memories!! Defacating everywhere!!!! No respect whatsoever!!!!! When we said there is a shelter right down the street, his reply was, "no room there". BS!!!!! I have no sympathy for anyone that breaks into someone else's house!!!! They can pound sand!!!!
I am for this in detroit.it actually helps the neighborhood in many cases.because a lot of squatters are families who have fallen on hard times.they keep these houses maintained do work in them and Keep them from being vandalized or turned into trapp houses.In fact lots of times neighbors are relieved in some cases.
Detroit seems like a good place to live for squatters. 🎉
👁 FLOATERS
OH, NO! THAT IS THE ABSOLUTELY THE WRONG WAY!!
Law was made back in the days when people moved out and abandoned their home or were killed. The new settlers came in and took it over. It wasn't meant for any empty house, especially in this century.
Why not do like I do. Put a ADT alarm on your property. When these squatters try to move in and trip the alarm the Police will sent out to the property and when the squatters cannot provide the correct password to the ADT alarm company off to jail they go for Felony Burglary. Last count for me as of this year 38 squatters arrested and jailed. Much cheaper than going to court to get them out and no property damage...
👁 FLOATERS GOOD IDEAL!
How are these people not simply breaking and entering? End this loop hole.
So many places are vacant and livable..give homes to people in need....so many places just rot....
Exactly... if you’re going to become a squatter you must pay the property taxes and also file at the local courthouse when you start paying property taxes on a house you are legally the owner. Most bank don’t pay the property taxes when the home is off the market. If your going to be a squatter take picture of the home inside and out. Change the locks keep all receipts of all home-improvement that you’ve done to the house and also pay the property tax. You can know charge the bank for double for the money you spent to up keep the property.... I’ve seen this done servers times....

Facts
Squatters were big news in NYC, my hometown, back in the 80s. Loots of buildings were abandoned in the East Village, then considered an undesirable neighborhood. People moved in , somehow provided electricity and running water and generally improved the buildings. It couldn't last, of course. The owners of record (if memory serves, the city itself, in most cases) had the squatters removed, sometimes violently. The properties currently go for some of the highest rentals in the city, which is saying something.
Wow these "people" who do things like this are the worst trash out there. And what do we do with trash? Bury it in a landfill!
Look at who gets away with it and who doesn't!
All homeless people should move into abandoned homes that are owned by greedy rich people.
Sounds good until they set eyes on your house to move in next
Live free in others people houses? Damn you
Its no different from when pilgrims came and claimed the New frontier as theirs even though the Indians owned it. North Carolina has the mow the grass law which grants ownership after you now the property's grass for 3-5 years straight.
the "indians" have asian DNA....just sayin'........used to work in the field.....
Squatting should be allowed it is not hurting anything or affecting them .
Funny how these houses, AND MANY OTHERS are still abandoned, but THEY don't want you to have it!
#purehate
Exactly
These court judges, who ruled the mansion belong to that "sovereign squatter", are you all sure that judge is not one of them?
I know someone who came back from vacation and found someone in their home who abandoned so they claimed that it was their home for this reason. Not all homes that are empty of people are abandoned. It took them months to get these people out and in that time period they had sold some of their personal items. They got them for steeling but could not replace what could not what they sold. They are only taking part of the law not all. There is more to that law than they are claiming.
Barbi Rakes fake fucking strory...why bother? kook
@@andyhall9069 lololom
I think the State should have to pay people for not protecting their home and allowing squatters in their home while they are on vacation. The State should have to pay for what they stold if they was going to let them steal somebody's home.
This happened to a friend of mine ....
We put cameras on the property,waited until he left,changed all the locks ......and waited until he returned....he then called the police...
While he was gone we took all his belongings and put them in the garage.....staged all room as we had " rented" them to some females "while back"..we had toothbrushes , boxes of tampons ,shoes ,underware all over the place...
When the police and this jackass came to the door we said" When we came back to the residence we notice some idems in the house and put them in the garage( TV etc.)
We told the police( sorry about the lies but had to do what we had to do)
"All the rooms, 3 bedrooms have been rented out...
We do not know who this indevidual is but we did put some stuff in the garage if he wants them ,he can have them"...
The police did come inside the residence ,checked the rooms and Lord behold all the rooms looked like " other ppl were living in them"..... worked for us ...
On the way out the squatter looked back and said" Didnt think of this trick before".
Law will not work in these cases sorry to say that.
What's also ridiculous is the bank will foreclose the house because they have trouble making the mortgage due to various circumstances, but are still able to pay some of it. Instead of working out a plan with the owners, they let the house sit there for months. When squatters see no activity in the house they move right in and claim it. Banks need to be held accountable.
Advert Possession isn't enforced in Ohio
They shouldn’t try this with nice house. This law was probably made for old cabin houses in the woods in the middle of nowhere that nobody wants.
This adverse possession business is a crime, it's squatting, and needs to be treated as such. Squatters are criminals, and crimes like squatting (trespassing, breaking an entry, unlawful entry) need to be punishable, not rewardable. IMHO anyone squatting in a house should be forcibly removed and confined to jail.
Then you say something that the law doesn’t. All states have different laws regarding adverse possession. It is legal in Illinois if you have lived on the property at least 7 years.
If I were to do that, I'd still keep my job, save up so much money, then when I get kicked out, buy a house.
And yet these idiots can't play their cards right and just stick with "living free".
What's better is, you pick a expensive house in California. They only require you stay in the house for 5 years before you can get ownership. Then once you have the title to the house, you can put it on the market. Easy and quick way to make quite a large amount of money.

Yeap,Washington Dc
Also 'squatters' don't tend to be the kind of people that take an interest in the building they occupy. You don't hear of squatters renovating or restoring an old place. Quite the reverse.
The haves and the have nots
Not true! Or maybe only true in other countries. I saw a video of an old theatre, in the UK, where a whole community of squatters is living and going to refurbish/revive it if the city lets them. The Beatles even played there, but it ended having to be shutdown b/c some Archdiocese was holding and molesting kids in their creepy basement that looks like a prison! It's on youtube. Some group of people who look in abandoned buildings.
The news failed to mention the cases that were sucessdull bc the squatter put work into the property. This is how A.P. laws are supposed to work, they favor the person or party upping thw property value.
That's because homeless folks don't have the resources or the appropriate set of life skills at that point to do so judgemental judy
@@katl1489 in some cases this is true for sure
1:45 - The legal process of "Adverse Possession" is enforced and regulated for property that is "Clearly And Obviously Abandoned", and the legal doctrine is supported when a person does major repairs to a property that is "Abandoned And Deteriorating", and adds great financial value to the "Abandoned Property". Additionally, you need to hire a "Private Investigator" to search for the owner before moving into property that is "Clearly And Obviously Abandoned".
Sovereign citizen what a joke lol smh
SMH Illiterate assholes is more like it.
Jackie Taylor they only do that shit in America. Why don’t they just go to a country that doesn’t have these laws? Bums but still want first world amenities
We live in one of the best countries in the world (USA). My neighbor is from Romania and his wife was born in China. They both say that living here is a blessing and most Americans have no idea how good they have it. We can't be completely free to do what we want because what we do affects those around us. If there were no law about loud music my other neighbor could blast his music day and night. I'd probably have to creep over there in the middle of the night and kill him (well, not really, but maybe I'd steal all his radio equipment). That's why there's laws that some of us aren't happy about. We need the laws to help keep the peace.
Your following the queen of England of your an American look it up we follow British law still .. SOVEREIGN IS FREE
Nowhere in the video did they explain that "adverse possession" is illegal. If the government doesn't approve, make it illegal then.
Yep
Why aren’t these squatters being slammed with (and arrested for) back owed property taxes for the multi-million dollar properties they are claiming?
If they want to live free then they should start their own community and build it from the ground up. Very simple to rid society of these bums, just make them "disappear" suspiciously.
You damn Nazi.
it's completely legal.
***** Then go ahead and do it. Always a vigilante in the neighborhood that will take that person out. I work for a living, not going to let a property that should be bought with money and lovingly cared for be taken over by bums. At the least squatters could mow the lawn and upkeep the home but I guess they're too entitled for that right?
it's legal and they are not bums.
Djonkie Bonk it is none of you business or concern who lives on someone elses property advers possesion is a legal and morally correct way to keep propertys viable.

Okay I’m going to go find a home in Beyoncé neighborhood
Imagine lolll
If a home is on the market or off the market for a long time why not allow people to have it!!! Especcialy if they take care of it. Abandoned homes should be blessed to some folks. No offense to home owners but nobody should be without a place.
Ppl are mad that other ppl are living in empty homes? What’s the homeless population?
Who’s here tryna find the vid from tik tok but can’t find it

So let me get this straight: People get foreclosed on and evicted by the bank for a house that they have been "paying" on faithfully until hard times hit them and can no longer pay, only to have someone take adverse possession and not pay one thin dime to just move in and live there and no one can make them leave? And destroy the house in the process?? What the fuck.......The banks should have worked harder to let people "keep" their homes to begin with, and not let them lose it to squatters who will ruin the home. Makes no sense to me.
kellyv70 The main problem is property taxes, in which the government still want your money even though you have fully paid for the house. And also not having new econonic reform such as an option to have an extention of the loan to the owners children, the monent they are old enough to work. This would reduce the pressure of time limitation, plus, lets say if it was for a 25 year mortgage for $400,000 house at 2.5 interest per annum, the interest would be a total of $250,000 but the monthly repayment would be $2,167. However, if it was a 40 year mortgage, the interest would be $400,000 but it would be $1,667 a month. $500 a month is a huge difference. In most Asian countries, we do this. That is why a lot of smart youths still stay with their parents, they help to finish off a 40-50 year old home loan. And then the grandchildren would not to spend a lot of money on a new home loan but to just loan for home improvement or making the house bigger. That is why the economies of most Asian countries are rising since getting independence from Western countries between the 1950-1980s.
Makes perfect sense. You don't own something that you don't own, got it?
I was upset at first, thinking these guys are felons-- but then, there's a law for that. Hahahaha! Idiot laws. Smart guys.
they pretty much stole someones home. Fuck them I thought in America people would get shot for this
awhatzable they didnt steal anyones home, they were all abandoned or un used
They stole the banks home, well he did for a while at least.
Supa Doopa banks dont deserve houses
The bank stole the house if you really get how the system works.
The law is the same in the UK. If the owners are long gone and abandoned the place, squatters can move in. After ten years if they have proof that they have been looking after the property, fixing problems, paying bills, then the property gets put in their name. If they were homeless people - I don't see anything wrong. If they are anti-social and disturbing neighbours, they can call the Police.

Adverse Possession papers filed in the county, then the Property Tax is due from the new filer. Don't pay the taxes, then the county owns it!!!! Could be a sneaky way that the county plans to acquire these homes through street bums.
I don’t understand how they’re not charged with burglary?
in that case why even go through the process of a mortage? why not just go live in an empty house that says for sale?

What's the point of having a good job when you can just stay in a house for a while than it's yours
I know i know. It's making me have some thoughts about this really upscale neighborhood that has a few foreclosures of really really nice houses. 🙋🤦🤷
Did you watch the entire thing? They all got kicked out and arrested. And the law says you have to live there for years. The owners can kick you out at any point though. You only get the land if the owners fail to act for 10+ years.
So no, you can't just get the land that easily. It takes years. You may get a couple months free rent but then you'll most likely end up in jail. So you decide. Is jail worth saving a couple months rent?
Don't believe U.S laws applied to them but use said laws to claim vacant properties as theirs😂😂😂. You Can't make this up!
If they manage to gain ownership of the home by squatting can they just turn around and immediately sell the home for 100% profit? That's what I would wonder... since legitimately taking ownership he would have to pay property tax, no?
Yes you can. Easy way to make a large amount of money. California would be the fastest way. You only need to stay there for 5 years before you get the title to the house. I live in Seattle, been squatting in a place now for almost 2 years. I'm a holdover though, the lease ended but I stayed. I haven't been bothered or anything, and I'm pretty comfortable here. I already consider it my house.
Is that really true or is it just because they squattering.
BUT HOW DOES ONE FIND SUCH A PLACE.?
I bet all these peaple saying it should be ok would let them all come live with them and take over your home
They are not moving into homes with people in them. Genius
Yeah if you read the law you must be exclusive to any owners, doing what you just said is home invasion. At this point though its not a home, its an empty house. Its funny people get upset when other people live in the houses, but not when banks take them and let them rot, its like I told my gf the other day, do you ever wonder why I ashe my cigarettes in the floor in my room, because its not my room, and its really not the "owners" because he will pay taxes indefinetly. So one day he will pass, and his family will either get it, or it will be foreclosed and the bank will get it, and they will resell it, so should I keep their room clean? Honestly? Now the day I own something freely, I will fix it up and take good care of it, but I wont slave for someone else, ill live in a tent first. Thats not to say I will do this what these people are doing im not that dumb, I dont have that kind of tax money u have to pay the taxes, and too many nosey neighbors, Id go somewhere no one would bother me and do it though, out in some mountain.
Yeah no shit. They want to live for free while others pay. Currently unoccupied is not the same as abandoned.
It's not enough to simply "kick" them out! They should go to JAIL!
Squatting and Adverse Possession are not synonymous of one another. They're in fact very different things. Another thing, if used properly; Adverse Possession can be beneficial to society as a whole.
It can reduce homelessness, provide communities with more value and prevent properties from becoming ruins.
But would entering the house in the first place be considered breaking and entering?
Jessica D if it was abandoned and no foreclosed then no
he should have kept his mouth shut and he would still be there
Do they pay property tax? Highly doubtful. Arrest them on tax invasion.

It is theft. Period.
I have watched a lot of these beautiful homes on youtube laying empty and rotting away many I understand from what I have read are owned by the bank. I think just maybe the bank should let people live there and they (the homeless) pay the bank an agreed rent to become caretakers of the property. Just saying.....
GREAT IDEA!
So homeless people get to live in Mansions and ordinary hardworking people with jobs have to pay their rents/mortgages for their middle class homes?? How's that fair? In other words... How is that not promoting homelessness? If I have to work to be in the middle class while the homeless get to live in a mansion then where do I sign up to be homeless? These are the rational ideas and implications that DON'T run through the brains of extreme liberals.
In a caretaking role they would pay rent agreed by the bank, Is it not better than a place rotting away or people stealing from empty places nevertheless I do see your point.
Trevor C I'm a Liberal and i agree with you.
These people are going around to squat for a reason. I cant see them paying rent or actually taking care of the house
So you mean to tell me I can stop struggling paying this high ass rent that I'm paying and just go squat in some abandon home for thirty days and it's mine🙄🤔 wow .....
I'm thinking of it too. ♥
What about deleting that "obscure law" ? What I can live with is that if houses are empty more than a certain period, for ex. 3 years, that the owner can choose two options: either pay a high tax on this empty house or step to a to be created organisation, that selects homeless people based on a number of criteria who can move in for a certain period, say, until they found a house to rent. That organisation is then responsible to keep track of the efforts that the temporary occupants do, or even, to propose the temporary occupants such an option. The temporary occupants can only refuse 2 times such an offer. And of course, the rightful owner of the house can claim its property back in the same way as he or she can, should he have rented the house. Of course, there's one remaning problem, what if the temporary owners steal things out of that house (marble etc.) or degrade it, change it to their liking etc.
Sad people with no credit, no down payments, no bank loans, no ability to pay a monthly mortgage yet want to play make believe I own a house
YEA ANYONE WHO WANTS TO LIVE FREE....ON SOMEONE ELSES HARD WORK N DOLLARS! IT SHOULD BE FRAUD!
The squatters are right... you just cant say it because every homeless family will have a new house and there is not enough police to do anything about it

If a heritage building is truly abandoned and someone moves into and looks after it then by all means... but no people would rather complain about an eyesore than actually do anything about it

Adverse Possession is now illegal
It only worked when nobody made a legal protest for a certain period of time anyways. It was intended to prevent property from being permanently abandoned.
Actually it's not, it should be but it is not.
My .45 doesn't understand adverse possession. 🇺🇸
advers possesion is not illegal and sovereign citizenship is not criminal it is what all people are born as.
This goes on in the UK all the time. Renters refuse to leave and don't pay the rent. The owner of the owner of the home has to go to court for an order telling the squatters to leave but they don't. Then the owner goes back to court for an ordter transferring his ownership to him. They he pays 1000 ponds to the High Court to get the Bailiffs to evict the squatters. While this goes on and we're talking a year sometimes the owner gets no rent and is required to provide electric and water and gas at his expense. Those bills must be in the homeowner's name not the tenants.
The Police do nothing since the law has made everything a civil matter leaving the homeowner to spend huge sums on lawyers and court fees.
Squatters are such a national epidemic that I see a huge money-making opportunity for hiring offsite property managers. They only need to live in the area so can swing by any time, change the locks, and be enough of a presence to deter anyone from moving in (or staying there). Banks own so many abandoned properties, it makes no sense that they don't at least hire someone to protect the ones in the better neighborhoods. For an absent property owner, what options are there to protect their empty property? Hire a full time house sitter ? (Not cheap). I don't know if the offsite property manager business model exists, but seems to me there's a huge demand for this kind of service.
Adverse possession is a cherished common law doctrine which goes back hundreds of years and basically says if a property is abandoned and somebody else can use it they have the right to use it.
There was a couple in Maryland who use this to get a house from their son. He had moved out of the house 20 something years previous; because he was facing foreclosure, and his parents moved in and made payments for over 20 years and then the son tried to claim the property because his name was on the deed. In that case adverse possession prevented a great injustice.
I would put up a trespassing sign if they don’t leave I’ll shot tell the cops self defense lol 😂
POV your here from tik tok
I'm busting my tail to pay for my house and let's not mention the bills and I couldn't dream to live in a house like that. Must be nice! I'm not mad at him though because if he can live for free then more power to him.
If they are stating that the US laws don't pertain to them, then why are they using a law in the US to sqatt in a house????🤔
