    Squatter’s shouldn’t have any rights to anything they don’t own or pay for. Illegally entering someone else’s home is called burglary! Who’s the genius lawmaker that came up with squatters rights??? They destroy property & leave trash & hazardous waste behind & the owners wind up footing the bill for it.
    Squatters should be allowed to be dealt with by any means necessary, that’s how the laws should read!!!

      It's an older law around the 1850's when there where less people. It's one of those laws that hasn't been revoked/re-appealed by the senate as an obsolete law due it's purpose being a for a lower population of around 150,000 or less in a given city. (Can't recall the correct population required to make it valid n open) Then again I did mention that to one of professor's back in 08-09 that according to law's it sounds like there needs to be a massive review some of these aren't applicable not sure why they haven't been removed or defined indefinitely yet, as not necessary for the times we are in now.

    Both GEORGIA and FLORIDA saw an issue (criminal opportunistic trespassers squatters, antiquated law) for those who put them in office they immediately solved the citizens problem. They signed the Anti-Squatting Bill that immediately gives authorities approval to remove and lock up any criminal trespassers. Squatting criminals should be charged with immediate FELONY and Minimum one year jail time plus restitution to the legal home and apartment owners. EVERY other Governor MUST immediately do the same with URGENCY. Legal Homeowners WHO pay the property taxes, mortgages, licenses, etc., to run these counties and cities are dying defending their legal property, like in New York, and others are going to jail trying to protect their LEGAL property. As well, Many have had to pay thousands of dollars in legal and repair bills. EVERY Mayor, Senator, Representative MUST take note and take IMMEDIATE action to protect the mom and pop homeowner, apartment owner, or small investor. The police have their hands tied without an active State Law in place to abolish criminal squatters.

    Where I am in Okla, an individual must have running water (with a water bill) just to be in a house. Getting the city to enforce their own ordinances is a big problem as the average policeman is not a lawyer and is unfamiliar with all the city codes regarding trespassing, breaking and entering, etc. So they pass the buck and say " you must take them to court to evict them". City mayor wouldnt have this crap in his own neighborhood! Been there too many times!!!!

  • @srosegold

    Just like other laws, it’s outdated. Squatters rights were intended for individuals to live on unclaimed property, not for people to say the property was unclaimed because it was on the market or vacant. The homeowners shouldn’t have to go through the hassle of taking it to courts I don’t understand why squatters don’t get trespassed or anything

    I know the moral police wouldn’t allow it to be….but ask yourself how much of a problem this would be if homeowners were allowed to shoot squatters on site?
    This is a problem only because of the imposed policies that force the law keepers to jump thru several legal hoops while the law breakers get time, sympathy and they learn the process to abuse it. I thought Texas was better than this and immune to this type of bs legal impotence. I thought NOT having this squatting issue was one of the positives to the many negatives of the heat, poor utility management, the traffic and lack of a real transit or rail system FOR EVERYONE. But im starting to see different

    • @kirkmooneyham
      @kirkmooneyham 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The squatting laws in many states are holdovers from long ago when (mostly) rural properties were abandoned, such as during the Dustbowl era. Squatting allowed folks to take over an abandoned farm and get it going again, for instance. But that's not the majority of what goes on now, and the laws need to be changed to reflect the change in circumstances after so many decades have gone by.

    Cudos to Texas for having much stronger laws regarding squatters as compared to other states including Florida. Never heard before that they both have to have lived on a property for a certain number of years PLUS had to have been paying utility bills, mowing the grass, etc. in order to qualify. I don't agree with the latter in that the title to a property should only change hands when both parties agree to that change, and not because someone lays claim to that property. Most squatters don't use utilities since those have been turned off by the actual property owners. So, that is not a good benchmark in my opinion. If a squatter is not paying the property taxes for all of those years, I don't see how they can claim that property as being their own. It is also great that Texas has a really good law concerning trespassing which is fairly easy to understand and enforceable if a property is posted for "no trespassing".
