The laws need to be changed ASAP, you shouldn’t have to legally evict someone that illegally entered your home.
They needs to be arrested, never understood having to evict a stranger that actually broke into your home.
Boycott Target
Yeah I saw one video where this lady rented her house for an air b n b & the wooly mammoth that rented it refused to leave bc she had been there X amount of days so the lady came back from vacation & had to deal w/not only the lady not leaving but also she was super rude & said “don’t come in MY room” it was insane & the home owner was so sweet & better than me bc I woulda dragged her out
As long as you live in an English society, you will be subject to the English common law which enforces adverse possession, understand the society you live in and adjust accordingly or leave.
The cops protect the squatters instead of kicking them out and arrest them.
There should be no freaking thing as *”Squatter’s Rights!”*. A tenant is a tenant. A Squatter is a CRIMINAL!
If she got her crew and threw that that bum onto the curb...I bet there is a woke liberal law in place that would get her arrested.
No lives are illegal, right?
@@Someone-kg8qf No but breaking into some ones house and staying there without permission, that illegal.
@@Someone-kg8qf no. Some lives are worth less than others. Yours for example isn't worth a dime.
@@Someone-kg8qf i need more info on this one. what?
Abolish squatter right! Owner has rights!
Govern DeSantis signed a law to prevent squaters for entering people's homes
They are not squatters. They are CRIMINAL trespassers.
Florida and New York have.
Oh so if you’re a cop and the squatter takes over your home he goes to jail, but when you’re a regular law abiding citizen the squatter takes over your home and you have to fight it in court? Such BS
Was thinking about that, if a squatter invades a judge property I doubt the judge will spend the lengthy process they demand the public to go through.
@@chicherich exactly straight horse crap system we got here.
Exactly.. b.s.
Your beef is with the reporter, who gave a confusing explanation, not the police. There is a new law that some states are enacting, called an "intruder affidavit" that a homeowner can file, that allows the sheriff (but not police) to immediately remove the squatter. The police legally had to advise the homeowner (an Army officer, not police officer, by the way) that they could not evict the squatter. The reporter hid whether the police told the homeowner to contact the sheriff. The news station contacted the sheriff's office, who knew about the new law and affidavit, and were able to get the squatter out.
The reporter also confusingly made it appear that the squatter got arrested because of the affidavit. He was not, and other homeowners should not expect an arrest if they get an affidavit. The affidavit allows for eviction only. The squatter was arrested for drugs and being a felon in possession of a firearm, which was discovered during the eviction.
@@billparker174I didn't think any of this was "confusing" nor did I feel the journalist hid things. I've heard of exactly ONE state targeting squatters, and that is Florida, by charging a fee to change locks & remove the property of a squatter. It's fairly new. This was filmed 10 months ago in Nevada. I agree that bc of the Captain's service to the country, she was given privileges of which even the other person in the story couldn't avail themselves.🤷♀️
This is how the system should actually work...in favor of the homeowner and not in favor of the criminals!!

He is not a squatter. He is a home invader, a criminal no different than a burglar, or a robber.
What do you expect out of his kind - if this POS wants a house, let him get a job
To be fair, look what they do with those who make illegal entry to the UK- they put them up in hotels, provide meals and cash. It seems to be the new way of doing things.
Absolutely
*A Squatter
I wonder how he found out about a vacant newly-renovated house in the area? Due diligence research?
For cripes sakes. Even the idea that a convicted criminal broke into an active duty officer's home and squatted in it absolutely floors and enrages me. This country needs to stop this squatting stuff, and now.
Awesome lady!!! For serving AND for not backing down in this scenerio!!!
I'll never understand how squatters have so much power in the US. Unbelievable to me.
Obviously either the law makers are asleep at the wheel, or the police are too weak to do the "right thing". I hope they get their crap together because home owners are not going to put up with this eviction process thing and cost thousands. I personally wouldn't rely on the police. They have shown time and time again they are weak in this situation, and the definitely don't have it together in most situations. When people take things into their own hands then they want to blame the homeowner. Sorry, if the jury is too weak or stupid, to see what is right, then the system is broken.
@@TL-wy1nk These are generally civil matters so the police don't have any authority if it's not a criminal matter. Lawmakers are the ones who need to change the laws. Also, the banks/mortgage lenders need to do more as well. I have seen so many videos or squatters moving in after people have been foreclosed on. So the bank forecloses on and evicts the person who had the loan and for whatever reason could no longer pay, but they are fine with squatters invading the home and not paying a cent. There's a lot of blame to go around for a broken system and the squatters are exposing the loopholes. Glad this guy got caught, kicked out and arrested.
L.I.B.E.R.A.L.S. prey on the criminal (votes baby). They luuuuv the criminal (votes baby). They luuuvvvv the violence (votes baby).
It's not that they have power. It's that it's simply not an easy thing to prove. So a cop shows up and there are two people with paperwork and both are saying the house belongs to them. Now realistically, anyone should be able to prove in less than a day that the house belongs to them. If I can
1. produce a mortgage statement with my name on it, that at least shows I either have a mortgage or home equity loan on the house. How would I get that if I didn't own the house?
2. show the deed, which will have the bank's name and my name on it, then again, this would prove ownership.
However, it's still not that simple. I can fake those two documents. Now, it's up to the cops to call the mortgage company and the mortgage company with the owner there. It's up to them to then go to the town and confirm the deed isn't fake. They don't have teams that they can dedicate to squatting cases.
I think the best you can do is make sure there's always someone in the house. Because even in this case, you know damn well this thief probably caused a lot of damage on the way out.
we have a lot of cowards who are afraid to kick in the door with a 44.
We're a sad society when criminals have more rights that law abiding citizens.
Exactly why she had to get the media involved. If not, she'd still be fighting.
That's nothing new in America, my friend.
liberal democrats, you can thank them for making laws to protect criminals.
It has nothing to do with “criminals have more rights”, those eviction laws are in place to protect “law abiding citizens” from corrupt property owners. Sometimes laws get abused by criminals, that’s the part that isn’t new.
Well squatter laws were created so that the powerful could take land from the weak. It is interesting to see the law now being used as intended, but by criminals.
He literally broke into a government officials house that should be a felony.
No that’s just a racist way to look at it this is a young and educated black man who is a homeowner who was unjustifiably removed from his own home. He smart and understands his local laws. You’re just a racist who doesn’t want to see a young black man winning. He deserves to live in that house for free while the lady pays for all the utilities and expenses. I’m sure he contributes a lot to his local community and society as a whole.
No ones commented how it was easily handled after that sheriff got called out by the news
Breaking into anyone's house should be..
@@sandystormableI did.. I think they need a new sheriff.. if they knew they could do it but didn't until called out.. man what kind of low life is the sheriffs department.. pitiful
doesn't matter gov official or not. any homeowner should have the Same Rights
I love this “intruder affidavit” that the police used. So why aren’t all police departments using this tactic?
Eviction isn’t enough. Criminal penalties and restitution is a must.

It is ridiculous that the law protects squatters over the legitimate owners.
Yes sometimes that’s true.
My son went to rent a home, when he got to address key would not work. Squatters had moved into home an Realtor didn’t even know about it. 🙄
Because it’s Jewland
Gotta love the Homestead Act
It sucks but the intention is so people legally renting a property cannot be kicked to the curb every time a land lord gets pissed off. Unfortunately it also allows the squatters to have way too many rights. There needs to be a better way, but idk what that way is.
Liberals ruin everything
So WHY can't they use this same exclusion to get rid of all squatters? Why is it the EXCEPTION rather than the rule?
It sounds like the cops chose not to enforce the law until the publicity forced them to
Start arresting people! This is ridiculous! No, it called trespassing! Good for you lady- justice served.
This is insane: anybody can move into any house and call themselves a "squatter" and the real owner has to jump through all these hoops to get them out. What's a "squatter" if not an "intruder?"
In reality, how the laws work. Any scumbag can just squat, then get tosssed out and move to a new place. It's insane how the law protect these people. DISGUSTING.
Dead SOB if caught in my property.
Yeah well just imagine what the covid mandates did the millions of landlords and home owners! People didn't pay rent for years! Courts backed up and people out of money!
@@snikksnakk4445 they know the property owners have more money than the squatters so they go after the one with the money to do it the legal way and pay all the fees.
@@Yoyo-gl4xt This is something that the tax money should cover and protect us from. The STATE should deal with these so called squatters and force withdrawals from their income no matter how low it is. That's how ti should be. If you own the STATE money they go over mountains to get you to pay, if it's not they don't seem to care at all. Lame if you ask me.
It's totally mind boggling how squatters have more rights than a law abiding tax payer.😮

Thank you for your service precious lady , so sorry you had to go through that, God bless you .
This is sickening. I had the same thing happen to my dads home when he went into a nursing facility. I had to take them to court. They destroyed much of the property after they were served papers. Where are the laws to protect homeowners? Squatters should not have any rights!
How did they even know your house was empty?
@@redraven_y2k probably a worker at the nursing home.
Where you ever paid back?
@@redraven_y2k . They are professional vagrants. As soon as they see a place locked up, they move in. They are who they are, but to know that the law is on their side is very infuriating to homeowners.
@@Anne-po99 this is very true, I've had more than once had someone probing to see if anyone is home-- either to B&E and the last time I'm 90% sure looking for a place to squat. Lucky for us, I guess, I'm blind and always home. But they don't need to know I'm blind, they just need to know I'm home and think I've got a gun.
This is one instance in which the media was more effective and efficient than law and public policy. So happy to see this outcome for this Army Officer.
This shouldn't be the case. The fact that this caused this to speed up means we now all have to protect ourselves with cameras. What about the people who can't? There will now be no real justice for the poor. Without the proper channels that might take years to take
@@jeffder7143 yep. This is very concerning and as a society we are definitely on a slippery slope if it takes media exposure to make our law enforcement agencies do what’s merely right.

Ya but they should do this for everyone, they wouldn't be this quick to help you unless the guy injured you (which he may be likely to do if you try to go in while he's there!)
This is getting out of hand!
It’s combinations of injustices like this which are routinely circulated throughout society to keep everyone nice and distracted from other events.
This is ridiculous! Squatters aren’t tenants, they’re trespassers!
It's called breaking and entering, actually.

@@Luluthecat-22 that would be tenancy, well-protected by other laws. "Squatter rights" do not really criss-cross with tenancy rights. It's partly true that law firms want this hogwash going on cuz homeowners can foot legal fees. Liberals also want it going for ideological resons.

1. Establish a Governing body where all leases have to be submitted to. Include an ID verification and a security component that verifies the legitimacy of the lease.
Every time I hear about a squatter story, it amazes me how protected they are by the law when they are clearly in the wrong.
It's because the police can't verify who the real owner is, Or rather they can but have never been incentivized to do the paper work. There are clearly times when you have a rightful lease from the owner, but they just want to evict you anyway. The law originally was designed for there to be a due process in that event. Possibly just to make it harder for small time renters to earn money.
With a lease or mortgage in your name and they cant figure out the owner?
Same thoughts here.. If laws don't change - we could see much more of this.
If the woman had been white nothing would have happened
@@kennedystarr8094 Just because you have a lease or mortgage doesn't mean you haven't rented out your house. I would speculate that that the vast majority of rentals have a mortgage on them. So a mortgage only proves you own the house. It doesn't prove that you haven't rented it to someone else. Do you want to have legally rented a house from someone just for them to change their mind later and decide they want to kick you out without using the eviction process by simply claiming you are a squatter? I suspect much of this could be resolved by requiring all rental agreements be notarized and require a raised seal be used in the process. An ink stamp isn't secure enough. Perhaps require all rentals be recorded with the county at the time of execution as well. That would help eliminate the guess work.
Imagine needing an affidavit to evict a thief from your house. What a time.
This is what people voted for by matter of the political party and the DAs that naturally follow.

@@Flat_Earth_Addy Shall we call it trespassing then?
Women have to pee.
Who ever made up that ridiculous law "Squatters Rights" needs putting against a wall.
Yeah or the good gullitine treatment for sure 😂
squatters rights used to only be for homes that were abandoned for years. You had to prove you lived and received mail at that home, depending on different states laws, usually 7,10 or more years. Which I find acceptable if neither the owner who abandoned the home, nor the city who now owns it, just left it there to rot. But this new thing of just taking over people's homes who are simply away or house is empty because they are selling it, is not squatters rights at all. The news needs to stop calling it that and say what it is,home invasion.
Needs some lead to resolve
@@nickmalone3143 👍
"Squatting Rights" Law's are centuries out of date.

Thank you for highlighting the squatter problem. And more than that; helping this
Lt. Col., serving her country, get her home back from the CRIMINAL. All police departments should be allowed to use the law as this Dept. did.
it's unbelievable that squatters have any "rights". It's burglary
Closing this loophole in a hamfisted way would be a great way to rob the rights of legitimate tenants. These are already weak enough in America, they don't need weakening yet further.
The best way to fix this problem i money isn't an object is a specific streamlined property rights court or tenant's court that could get hearing times way quicker. The big issue with why it takes so long right now is how slampacked civil courts are right now, meaning any hearing at all can take months to hold. More judges and dedicated courts would help that process enormously.
It's not burglary if the property was abandoned.
@@chrisdonish So a soldier transfered to another duty assignment means the house was abandoned ?
How bout anyone going to work, is that house abandoned too ?
Never call the police or any other government office. Take care of the problem yourself, take out the garbage and discus it if no one....
@FC if the house was empty long enough where someone can move all their furniture and set up residence there, then yes the house was abandoned, the story never mentioned if she was living at the address, just that she owned it, a lot of people buy up property just to hold it and build up equity and don't use it, the adverse possession law was created to prevent this sort of crap. It's a shame alot of Americans don't understand English common laws. We certainly wouldn't be having the homeless and housing crisis.
Some people have no shame. How do you have the nerve to just decide to move into and take over someone else’s home.
I don’t consider myself a violent person, but if I came home from a vacation to see someone squatting in my home, they leave me no choice but to level a shotgun filled with salt, then tell them to leave or face the consequences, the law may not agree with me but my family will be safe in their beds on that night!

Fanatical orthodox leftists have control over every single HR position in government. They only hire crazy people. If they accidentally hire a conservative, they have all kinds of rules (that don't apply to liberals) that they can use to fire that person. I don't know why, but for some reason Sheriff's seem to be immune to this. The sterotype is that cops are on the right, this is false. It might be true in rural areas though.
How messed up is our legal system when someone breaks into your home, is using therefore stealing utilities, and you have to take the person to court so you can move back into your house. What happened to break and enter charges, fraud, theft, etc.

As someone not from America, how do people like this have rights to take your house?
@@Rsmvbizz There is a legal process that the homeowner has to take in order to “prove” that the squatters don’t have a right to be there. It could take months and during Covid, years, to legally evict them. It a lengthy process that needs to change.
@ab alm It comes down to right and burden of proof. Another of time people will make a fake lease with fake payment. They switch utilities to their name and they claim ownership. The law requires that the property owner prove that the property belongs to them and that it wasn't rented or purchased.
It makes sense in the case of abusive landlords, but in the case of squatters, it's a shield that they abuse.
Only takes a day or so to plant them deep in the backyard with a backhoe.
looks more like a broken country... DO SOMETHING
Can we all just agree this is how it should be everywhere going forward? Evict and arrest them. Why you even have to go through such red tape for someone taking advantage of you is beyond me. It has been one of the most baffling things to me over the years.

We have no law to protect citizens homeowners. If you don’t have a lease with the owners signature you need to go. There should be no squatters rights.
Easy solution: require all leases be notarized. With that small requirement, cops can determine if the facts in less than 5 minutes and arrest the criminal.
I hope the Judge lays down the correct decision, and the Sheriff gets a raise!
How does a squatter, who in effect is a criminal trespasser, have the same rights to an unlawful detainer action that a holder of a valid lease has? The judicial system is truly broken.
It's not just trespassing. The report also mentions several times that the lease is fake, but the word "fraud" was not even mentioned once. If the lease is fake, will there be criminal charges filed against the squatter for committing fraud?
Yeah I’ve never understood this.
Ask politicians especially Democrats who protects criminals versus taxpayers citizens
Takes months to get a court date and even if you win, they can ask for a stay and appeal
The law is beyond stupid

Eviction protection exists to protect tenants from being evicted unfairly, not to protect criminals that broke into your house who have no legal right to be there in the first place. The fact they don’t distinguish trespassers and tenants is ridiculous.
I'm not saying thus situation applies but there are incidents where scammers have tricked people into paying money for a place the scammer claims to own. When the actual owner shows up to the place is when the truth is revealed.
@@Floratic then the scammers are at fault, the people tricked still did not receive legal right to be there because it was a fraudulent scam. The owner should not have to pay for a crime perpetrated on them.
Obviously the scammers are at fault. But the scammers are now in the wind. Thus you have a tenant out of first and last months rent money and about to be evicted.
I didn't say the owner should pay for what the scammer did. My comment is in response to you thinking that all these people are criminals who broke into the house. The guy in this story is clearly a professional squatter, but a small few are actual decent people who were tricked.

Great win for the homeowner! Thanks for your service to our country ✨
“It feels good when you can return the home to the homeowner.” That statement alone is mind blowing 🤯
Politicians let this to go on because they can buy the homes up for pennies when the owner gives up the process.. Its a total scam to enrich politicians
Laws need to be rewritten across the country to circumvent courts so squatters/losers can be kicked out immediately. This should be the model.
This isn't a model. He's only out because he got arrested because he's a convicted felon with guns and drugs in his possession. That's the only reason they were able to call him an intruder and not a squatter.
whatll happen actually , is laws will change. but to alow squaters if the losers are black. the effort you have to go through to do this is insane . like its so much easier to just , stay in an apartment.
dimple solution...when they try to enter, you put a gun in their face and they go no where...
@@PhilLesh69 yes, the civil eviction court process has no bearing on a criminal trespasser. They still go to court over their criminal trespass. Imagine thinking squatters should have any rights over the property. You're everything wrong with America
@@PhilLesh69 what? The courts with good ethics records like the supreme courts? Absolute jokes. ☝️
My brothers friend had a similar situation happen to him. But when his friend went to the house to try to talk to the squatter he found that someone else had kicked in the door and beat the squatter so badly that they had to be taken to the hospital
This is insanity !!! Happy for you Mam !
This evicting...squatters...taking months in the courts IS WRONG!!!!
MONEY
It needs to be considered an active burglary or home invasion, not an "ongoing issue".
Lethal force, if necessary.
The problem is bad landlords would abuse the law to evict anyone they want at anytime while pocketing their money. Example, I own a property, rent it out to someone who puts up $5,000 up front. 2 weeks later, I claim they are a squatter.... And scummy landlords will do that.
@spatrick1964 I have to say...I rented when I was going to college and never had anyone do that but then I always demanded a receipt. I think nowadays...it's squatters abusing the laws. During covid I saw story after story of families who were living out of cars with their children while adult squatters lived in their homes!
@@tenfourproductionsllc that’s not a problem; renters sign a contract and get a copy of it as well as receipts (and if they don’t, it’s their own fault). Squatters have none of that. You can’t violate someone’s rights to private property to protect the renting rights of someone else. Doctrine of unclean hands
I'm so glad she got her house back! When military is on active duty, all our law enforcement should support them if a squatter moves into their home!❤️
Or send in some retired military personnel and force them out the military way and I approve this message 😂
She was in love with him then she found out he was cheating in her house so she making this up,I live next door 🤷🏾♂️
Thank you 👏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏

In the UK squatting was widespread until the law was changed some years ago, squatters cannot occupy residential property but continue to occupy commercial property
What the heck? Breaking into a house, occupying it and is labeled as “tenant”?
This is how it should go for every homeowner dealing with a squatter. The laws around this need to be drastically changed to protect the homeowner and not the squatter.
Naw, squatters should not involve the courts. That should just be taken care of immediately by the property owner.
Cities who allow squatters have more rights than homeowners is ridiculous. Politicians need to have their butts put in jail just because. Squatters should have NO RIGHTS WHAT-SO-EVER!
these cases are outright theft of property,trespass, more. but squatter rights are about different rather obscure situations. it's lousy law manipulation that is the cause. like someone buying your home that was sold fraudulently, legal incompetence may not admit to you that the buyer has no rights, since they bought stolen property. and cops helping military- special treatment, whereas they wouldn't a civilian, when they CAN do the right thing; well that makes yet another arm of the law complicit with the perpetrators of these crimes. Justice is served only in a society that doesn't perpetuate favoritism; and requires competence and strict honesty in in public and private positions that serve the society.
Black lives matter
This is completely and totally INSANE!!!!
Democratic states only! Get your facts straight
Go squat in their home. See how fast they address this issue.
Right on! 💪
God bless you LTC . Thank you for your services. 🙏🙏❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
This needs to be the way it should be. Quit catering to criminals and take care of the law-abiding citizens. It shouldn't take more than a day to take out the trash
It might take 3 weeks. The police still have to verify the paper trail to see who the rightful lease owner is. IE anyone can claim to be the rightful owner and show up with legal looking papers.
Having a gun is a beautiful thing. Permanent solutions are often the best.
Must be nice to be perfect. How'd you do it?
@@americannobody27 how was the commentary based on perfection? Elaborate, please..
@@americannobody27 Wtf are you talking about? You okay?
We owned a house in Columbus, Oh. A squatter broke a basement window and dropped her 6-year-old through the broken glass and had him open the front door. We had to go through the eviction process, and it took months. We were remodeling the house. She sold all our tools supplies, carpet, doors, anything that wasn't nailed down and we got nothing back. Police said there was nothing they could do. This needs to be changed. These people are costing homeowners, courts and police millions every year because they are too lazy to work and have found a loophole.
Law makers just make swift heavy penalties. They wont- so we have no need for them. But everyone votes for them.
Ohio is supposed to be a landlord friendly state. I'm surprised this happened to you.
I don't know where you heard it was a landlord friendly state. We owned 3 houses over the years that we rented. We sold them all because we ha no rights in court. We got screwed over and over and over. The houses were trashed so many times and we would lose and average of $3500 plus our time everytime we had a problem.
@@jennifersilletto179
This is a mess! But tenants get kicked out immediately.
I am so happy for her!🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾 Protect the Homeowner!!
Wow the nerve of him to steal her house from under her and falsely claim that’s his house is the most horrible thing that anyone can do no matter by their race or color is totally wrong hopefully he’ll be held accountable for his actions… Hopefully our government leaders will pass a law that protects homeowners from squatters stealing their property especially while their serving our country
I know.. our country is a terrible 3rd world joke. The punch line is finally in and no one wants to take the fall for it. Reform needs to happen.
I knew that it would work out on her favor. That's an Army Officer: There's no telling WHO SHE KNOWS in the court system.....people like her got connections EVERYWHERE👈😳
When he found out she was military, he shoulda booked.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everyone that is working legally who owns their house this law should work asap
@@mcole442 Damm right 👉
It's normal for black men mostly.... I'm just saying the collective you know...😂
The sheriff's office worked faster than the lawyer waiting 3 months plus.
Unbelievable
had a squatter in my rental. Spent so much money to get rid of her. It's shameful that squatters are given so many rights while the homeowner has to jump thru all these hoops. There are literally lawyers who will fight for the squatter! It's infuriating. Glad she got her home back.
Why not just go back in the house, and hire someone to remove all their belongings while the squatters are out? Then change the locks so they can't get in. You can be the owner that squats back into your home. You tell the police you own and live there. Police will say it's a civil matter. Let the squatter take you to court. I'm finding that lawyers just hold you back and don't have a personal interest at heart.
@@shkim103 they never leave. She had 2-3 other ppl there so someone was always occupying my house.
I had to do the same. The squatters lawyer to me I could Pay then 3k or more for moving expenses to get them leave quicker. How ridiculous is that. There are actually people out here that squat as a way of living. Smdh
@shkim103 that would be considered an illegal eviction so the squatters can sue and win and the squatters could end up owning the house.
That's why some land lords strong arm them out.
It’s ridiculous how someone has more legal rights to someone’s property when they have taken possession of it illegally!!! Laws need to be changed to protect the homeowners.
What i also hate is how easy it is to break into houses. This is why i dont want one!
Well that’s not the case. That’s why he was forced out and arrested.
Yeah, only after using an uncommon method to remove him. You heard the video... the eviction process usually takes months. Or did you miss that part?
It's all about MONEY
Little did he know who he was messing with 😂😂😂
It's nice to see that this one specific case was properly handled, if only because of the publicity, but what about the thousands of other such cases?
No way anyone should have the right to "Squat" on private property and be treated as if they had rented it. They are not tenants they are intruders!
It wasn't a right to squat issue, the man had a fake lease and was playing Tennant
I’m a retired Prosecutor and Judge and the cases that I hated the most were landlords/tenant cases. If a squatter somehow got a lawyer through Legal Aid, agencies that would represent a tenant for free, a case could hang around for months before it ended in a trial. Meanwhile the home owner would be without a place to stay and thousands of dollars for their own legal fees. Then, these free lawyers would often file an appeals, taking several more months. The system was totally broken.
Thanks for your service to The Criminal Justice System ♎.
@@user-rv9qx9sp1y 😎It was a wonderful, terrific and fascinating career. I started as a Juvenile Probation Officer and found that my favorite part of the job was going to Court. I used to think that you had to be really smart and special to be a lawyer, but soon found out that I knew more about Juvenile law and Court procedures than many of the lawyers. So I figured if they could do it, so could I. It was hard to get into a good law school with my C average grade point average (2.69). So I got a real powerful Judge who liked my work and got him to write a letter of recommendation. The Judge said I should write the letter and he would sign it. It was a terrific detailed glowing letter and I got into one of the two State Law Schools and found that I had a good feel for law and got a 3.75 gpa and was number three in the class.
Judge the system evidently still is broken
That's nuts. Who wrote that law, a squatter! 🤔
@@theocho8689 the law is actually a pretty balanced one, but sleezy people can and do twist it around. What could be done to a squatter and has successfully been done when there’s a squatter, is for the owner to wait till the squatter goes out say to shop. Then enter his home, remove the squatter’s crap and take possession. Basically squat on the squatter. It can only be done before any court case is filed. If the squatter calls the cops, they won’t remove an owner from his house anymore than they would remove the squatter. They’ll likely say this is a civil matter, take it to Court. The squatter loses as he has no grounds to legally complain. This can’t be done if there was a legitimate lease, though. But a true squatter who has no previous lease right’s can’t complain legally.
Dang Man! That dude had some speakers, he was ready to throw a block party!😂
Once you put a for sale ad / rent ad - that's their green light to attempt to move it. SAD
Criminals have more rights than law-abiding citizens. If someone is in my home, they aren't squatting, they are trespassing.
This is unreal, how can people be so bold? My brothers granddaughter did this to them. Horrible. I'm glad the cops helped this woman out.
Weak parenting duh
not bold, they have no shame. Bold has positive connotations, there's nothing positive about that dude
Unreal
@@8qjfhai8 *parent
They didn't care until she went public with it. Then they found a loophole. Smh.
So all they have to do is claim 'I have a lease' and the cops have to leave them alone?
She must sanitize the house now.
I'm so sick of these squatters being protected 😤
They shouldn't even be called squatters, they are just thieves plain and simple.
