Eviction takes 90 days in California. Good luck having any copper wire or scrap metal left in the house after that. The place will be condemned by the time she gets back in.
Dangerous to side too squarely with property owners. It would only take a few bad eggs for "fake squatter" scams to start cropping up all over the nation. There is a reason the laws are set up to favor defense. Unfortunately squatters take advantage of that, but if you stop and think about it, we're already too close to the alternative as it is, which is allowing fraudulent evictions to become profitable business for shady financial institutions. The defenses we have in place against that kind of scam, inadequate as they are, are what squatters are hiding behind. The last thing we need is to make these defenses even weaker.
Yeah California doesn't care about anyone except the criminals. They want to protect people that break the law instead of protecting the people that actually give a care and work for a living..all those politicians in California are criminals that is why they don't care.
This needs to be classified as felony breaking and entering. And if the owner is on the property and the squatters come in despite warning, force should be authorized just as with a home invasion. For this issue to truly be resolved, squatters must face devastating consequences…
Go break into alot of these famous people summer homes and politician's homes as well as judges homes . See how long this law would still be in effect.
Because the law that was passed in most states has very vague terms as to figuring out who owns the property and who owns it. Because of that, it created a loophole where the paperwork can be easily falsified. *But just take what I said with a grain of salt.*
The same thing almost happened to my grandmother's house after she passed away. A neighbor saw a minivan park at the driveway and when he saw a group of women bring out boxes, he immediately scared them away by threatening to shoot them because he knew that we still owned that house. The entire neighborhood kept watch of that house until we successfully sold it and the new owners moved in.
@@irynalebedyeva7900I saw another story that said they look up rental listings that provide the full address, drive through different neighborhoods and even look at death notices in the paper. It's best to not post the address on rental listings. Only provide it when you have an viewing scheduled. If the house is vacant, perhaps add cameras or timed lights. It's ridiculous this is necessary.
@@irynalebedyeva7900 They look for obituaries and estate sales. They all look for property auctions and even sales where the homes are "Move In" which means empty.
Never understood why squatters have more rights then home owners. That needs to be changed. She should get camera put up outside and all inside of the house.
And they wonder why 100s of thousands of residents are leaving California. Democratic run cities are being destroyed with their hands off the criminal policies. Anyone with any sense would never have a business there where shoplifting is legal and land piracy is tolerated.
They have laws but liberal politicians order police to not arrest criminals or if arrested let thrm out immediately to do more crimes. Need to institute the broken window policy again, if they break one window they likely have broken several more noone knows about.
I helped a friend get rid of her squatters. 15 of us with my 3 German shepherds in the middle of the night. Of course no neighbors called the cops, we gave them a hint ahead of time. We dumped their stuff in a dumpster we had delivered that day. We "convinced" them if they came back to the neighborhood, they would be met with more dogs and more people. Acting as a vigilante is the only way to deal with squatters until the laws change.
I just seen a video where the neighborhood went an took care of business on they're own street! Politely told the squatters if they came back, it's not going to be pretty! Helps a lot when u have great neighbors, band together cause I bet u they get the message. Great job 👍

Squatters tried to move into one of my aunts rental. Little did the squatters know that they messed with the wrong family. There is nothing like 20+ angry people busting down a door and bum rush the squatters. Let’s just say the squatters were handled in a way they will never forget. ;)
That's the way it should be. It's trespassing plain and simple. If I come home and someone is in my house they don't have any rights to stay ( gotta love Newfoundland)
I went through this once in my life as I'm a real estate developer. I simply put into service an ADT Home Security Alarm System with a working telephone line to the property. Once these Squatters trip the alarm ADT will call the home and ask for the Security Password and since they won't know the password the Police are dispatched to the home and you are also immediately notified. Meaning that anyone caught in that home even with a made up lease are automatically arrested for burglary. End of my squatters problem...👌
Thanks for the clever tip Joseph. don't mess with your property! Its common sense really. You need to have a watchful eye on the home. thankfully this victim did, indirectly which saved her.
I know someone who ALMOST got away with squatting in my house. I let a lady with 4 kids stay with me for 60 days to save enough for a downpayment/deposit for her own place. I was fed up after 20 days of seeing her spend money on alcohol and other non-essentials. Being a person of my word, I let her stay the promised 60 days...when the +60 days came around, I told her it was time to move. Her reply was, "Put me out; you have to evict me!" OMG! What a nightmare! I put her and her children's belongings on the curb with incident -- she cried and pleaded with my neighbors, who already knew what was happening. She got most of her belongings the same day. A week later, 3 of my tires were slashed. So be it. This was in the 90's. I'd rather pay 200 for some new tires than a migraine + court costs to evict her. BTW, she knew she was wrong. That's why she didn't take me to court for wrongful eviction.
burglary requires trespassing + theft any kind OR trespassing with the intent to commit a crime (usually a felony) we could solve this problem by making squatting itself a crime then it would in fact be burglary under the law
@@tictacterminator But isn't trespassing itself a crime? And isn't there an act of theft being committed since the squatter is stealing the home from the owner?
@@johns3491 - I was thinking the very same. The way it appears, if one is away from their home long enough, someone can enter and take over. What a nightmare!
We had a squatter in our home when we transferred to the west coast. We rented our home instead of selling it because we wanted to move back into it when our tour was completed. During the time between us moving out and tenants moving in, a squatter broke in and decided to live there. We didn't call the cops, we didn't call the news, we called a friend (6'5 and 245 pounds, a BIG guy) and he went over with a baseball bat and his side arm attached to his belt. The squatter left withing seconds of Matt walking in to the house. No fuss, no mess.
I like your method. I've also heard of owners inviting their biker gang friends over during the night to throw a huge party and barging into the rooms the squatters were in. Squatters immediately left XD

@@Namath1000 I'd imagine if the house was owned by a homeowner/land lord, they can just get documents from them to prove the house was vacant before being broken into, but for some reason it's either not a factor in the investigation or dismissed. Otherwise, if the property is owned by banks or the state, it shouldn't be possible to move in either, because it's still the property of X. I can't possibly imagine how this is allowed, unless it's deliberate.
police can't do nothing about breaking and entering occupying a dwelling refusing a direct order but if I don't pay a speeding ticket 120 days in jail or $500 come on
What a stupid statement “sometimes we can’t determine who’s in the right” it seems pretty easy to me ask the owner!!! I think some laws need to be changed to protect the owners not the squatters!!!
@@neelakenio9380 Lawyers and government make the laws.They can't get squat out of a squatter so the laws are made for the government and lawyers to steal your money.They could care less if between the squatters,lawyers and government you are bankrupted.
Yes very stupid statement by the LEO. In this case I am certain even if she did not have papers the officers could oh I don't know ask the neighbors! Asking the surrounding tenants seemingly would end this in seconds I would have assumed, after all it was neighbors who first caught the squatters.
It affects them as well. Squatters don't take care of the homes. They trash the property and trashed property brings down property values of the entire neighborhood.
This is absolutely pathetic… These people need to be arrested and put in jail for breaking and entering a private home… Mind boggling laws on the books need to be changed
So, you pay for a house that squatters take over. You have to go out of your way to prove you are right and they are wrong. Then you want your taxes to pay for their food, housing and medical? Keep in mind, you pay politicians to put laws like this in the books.
That is not a nosy neighbor. That is a good neighbor. If that had been my place I would be very grateful to that neighbor. I am not so sure you would be grateful depending on YOUR response. Would you rather have an OBSERVANT neighbor? Perhaps you would prefer squatters taking over and legally keeping your home.
One of my parents’ friends sold their house and moved out. While waiting for it to close, they had me and one of their kids (we were 19) live there for two weeks. Now I understand why.
Thats one of the problem witg squatter law. It cant differentiate between people who used the law for innocent purpose like yours, and someone who intententionally used the law for malicious purpose (living rent free).
There should be a law that REQUIRES the owner AND tenant to REGISTER FREE their lease or who's renting the property where law enforcement can access. Both parties should be given 5 business days to REGISTER the lease. If they don't, then they will be penalized with a fine (so what it's inconvenient). This could potentially prevent homeowners from having to go to court to evict squatters. Let the burden be on the squatter instead of the homeowner.

I threw out the possessions of a squatter, knowing she could take me to court, changed the locks, and stayed in the place until she was gone. I guessed, correctly, that she wouldn't go so far as to file a suit as she had no leg to stand on. Sometimes you've just gotta do what's right.
OR, call the cops after opening YOUR house to find it full of dead people. You can just tell the cops that you have no idea what happened. OR, torch it and collect the insurance and build a better one.
This is ridiculous. All the owner should have to do is show the title, show their license, and show their signature. If their signature doesn't match the signature on the rental agreement, the squatter should be removed.
@@dimwitsadvocate6264I’d hire the hella angels to come party at the house for a few days. I’d let all my neighbors know loud music would be blaring for a few days. Or I’d have a construction team “replace” the windows, but the job would take months. In the winter! 😂
Not in Arizona. You can evict a non paying renter & have them out within a month. Californians are truly ridiculous - why do you allow evil people to do that to the people who pay their mortgage & do what is right? Must be why so many Californians have moved here to get away from the craziness.🤷🏾♂️
I had a vacant house, and filed a Letter of Agency with the cops. This is an official notice to them that anyone not the owner is tresspassing. You have to cancel it yourself. A rental agreement would be automatically false in this case.
It's meant to keep scummy landlords at Bay. So, you sign a rental agreement, pay deposit and first month rent, then they evict you for being there illegally. This used to be rampant, especially in minority areas. So, laws were written to protect them. The pendulum swings to one extreme or another, eventually we'll find a middle ground of common sense.
No because you'd have to prove who cut the wires. A couple of starving Rottweilers would work but then you could be charged with recklessly endangering the life of anyone who broke in. I know there was a case in the States many years ago where a couple who had been repeatedly burgled wired a shotgun at the top of the stairs to a tripwire then went on holiday. When they came home they found a dead guy on the stairs. I believe they were charged with manslaughter.
One person got rid of his squatters by hiring a big strong man to move in with the squatters, This strong man ,just opened the door and sat down on the sofa and said that he was moving in. The squatters moved out.
@@crazybrit420 And you'd be arrested and jailed. I'm not saying it's "right", but there's a big grand canyon difference between what's morally right, and what's criminally right.
It is amazing, you buy a home and don't pay your Property Taxes, the county comes with the Sheriff and YOU LOSE YOUR HOME. You squat a vacant house someone else paid for, YOU GET TO STAY and the cops can't do anything. How much longer before the chaos stops?

Both situations require a due process that may take up to a couple years. One appropriately (in the case of not paying taxes) and the other inappropriately (in the case of the squatter - which should be a simple remove the trespassers).
I've watched other stories about squatters and it's often mentioned that the squatters call a locksmith. I think the locksmiths in these cases should be charged with a criminal act. It seems to me that some kind of proof of residence would need to be presented.
you dont need a locksmith, you can get door lock sets for $20 at walmart. that and a screwdriver, and drilling out a lock and a few minutes work is all they need.
Dealt with that years ago. My brother was in hospital... these junkies climbed through a cat door! Then had the nerve to tell me I had to give them a 30 day notice. LOL nope they got a dose of bear spray ... Buh bye....
A friend had a bunch of simple thinkers try this in an 8 apartment complex he and his brother inherited from their folks .... his brother is a biker ... his club showed up in force and "convinced" the squatters to move on. They did immediately. Sheriffs dept didn't blink an eye.
The property owner should be the ultimate authority when it comes to who is allowed on the property. If they say they want someone off the property, that's it, that's the end of it. Those people must leave.
Disgusting, the owner is a young woman who probably saved like mad to buy her first investment. I am so glad her neighbors were watching out for her, another way is put up cameras and where they connect to her iPhone I believe they exist.
Absolutely horrendous! It is beyond unconscionable that a property owner has less rights than blatant thieves. It should take all of 5 minutes to kick a trespasser off of your property.
I knew a guy who had a problem with tenants not paying rent. Rather than wait months through the winter for an eviction process to resolve the problem, he took the front door off of the hinges and took it into the shop for maintenance. By the time he got around to taking the door back, the deadbeats were all moved out and gone.
So basically, California goes from being the most expensive state to live in to being the absolute cheapest as long as you are willing to shed some personal integrity.
A squatter manipulated his way into my condo with the help of a disgraceful neighbor. He was a dealer. Put it this way, he was bodily thrown out and not permitted to come back for his belongings. He called the police. They laughed when they showed up. The squatter apparently wasn't happy with his boo-boo's from getting tossed. They removed his 'stuff' from the condo and then I trashed everything else. He wasn't allowed to touch it because it was on my property. These are my laws. He's lucky it wasn't worse.
Heard a story once of a land lord who had a house he was selling and finished renovating. Well apparently some not so nice people were watching the house being built and once it was finished, they moved in that same night through a window they broke. Once the owner saw the security footage, he knew he was in for a long LONG fight. So he placed cockroach stinkbombs around the house made for extermination when the people left one day. He said they grabbed their stuff within 20 minutes and never came back. Cops were called but he said he didn’t know people “broke in and squatted” and was just trying to fix his roach problem. Cops let him go with no warnings and the people were told to leave.
Now, I understand that this may or may not be a true story, but why would someone who has security footage of someone literally breaking in via a window have a long fight?
This should not be that hard. If a person is living in a house, does not own said house, or is not paying rent to the owner of said house. They shod not be there and should be arrested for trespassing. If they changed the locks they should be charged with vandalism. If the fake rental agreements, forgery. How is this so difficult?
The point is they lie and most have printed off lease agreements, once shown to the police it's "he said, she said" In this case they did not have the paper work but the owner did this is very rare and she was super lucky to have good neighbors.
BleuHãwaii Because if they were a valid renter, they would need to have these rights to protect them and the owner would need to go through the eviction process. These people are taking advantage of that by committing fraud pretending to be valid renters.
Mad Planet are you nuts?! A simple google search will show you that red states are the biggest welfare queens. Therefore welfare recipients = republican votes
The problem is the homeowner should not be "OUT" until the system determines what is what....especially since the homeowner can prove that they own the house beyond all doubt right then and there and the squatters can't prove that they have a Legal contract with the homeowner....the squatters should be out until they can make there case in court and if they really were paying tenants then the homeowner shoudl face a large financial fine and penalty.
The squatter laws need to be changed. As far as I'm concerned, this is breaking and entering and should be charged as such and the people should be hauled out. And for people that have already been squatting then these people need to be reported to the internal revenue service and the state's franchise tax board. At a minimum, let the IRS go after them. This is failing to report unearned income. The person that owns the home should be able to take a tax deduction for the amount of the house payment and property taxes they paid but could not enjoy
This is the sh**test law not only in California but also in other states. This law absolutely has to be abolished. It’s not the Wild West anymore, darn it !
Lore Craft really do you have to be rude to people .no you need to be nice to people . Texas is a great place to live people are nice there . DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!
I usually have my eviction team (Guido and Tony from the Bronx) handle my squatter evictions without the need for court action. Usually, the squatters are anxious to move out once they are discharged from the hospital. They even "give" me their refrigerators and other stuff to compensate me for my trouble.
My home is paid for, and I worked very hard for it. These people would be shocked at how little mercy I would show, and how quickly the end would come. Do you remember the saying, "Hell is coming for breakfast"? Think along those lines.
Yep, it's like that New York also. Most any Democratic legacy state has these kinds of anti-business laws. Only way they keep businesses in their regions is to severely reduce taxes for those businesses. Thus the people pay more taxes to subsidize them. Pretty funny huh? And the businesses pay the campaigns and party to keep it that way.
They used to call it breaking and entering. It's like someone breaking into your house and they get injured and can sue the owners. The laws need major reviews.
I had been told if someone breaks in, you can hold them there for the cops. Even if they get hurt. If they get out,, drag them back in.. The question I now have is... those thugs will say they were held against their will. Try to sue. Whatever their thieving minds think. Would they win? Good honest people always get the bad end if the stick. I guess if you use a 12 Guage on them and they die, they don't get to fight back. What a mess this world is.

There's nothing wrong with squatters moving in and landleeches losing claim. Landleechs are nothing more than housing scalpers. Guillotines would be appropriate.
Had this happen to a clients home I was in the process of selling for them. The house was vacant and we were a few weeks from closing. I came buy to check on the house, there were workers in the backyard installing a new lawn and sprinkler system. I asked them what they were doing here. They told me that they were working for the new owner. I told them they had 5 minutes to pack up and leave before I call the police and have them charged with trespassing. Needless to say, they left. I stayed at the home for the next few hours and came back early the next day. I posted a sign NO TRESPASSING. They didn’t come back
Unfortunately, the system and law enforcement, encourages squatting. Just look at law enforcement questioning home owners to prove their position. It’s laughable that although property taxes are levied against home owners, squatters have rights to your home.
Im from newyork. This has happened to my house after i gave eviction notice to tenant, tenant brought squatters to live. Currently no rent for last 1 year. Im basically doomed, thanks to the govt who made such unjust rules. Shameless govt.
So what if someone else comes along when they aren't their breaks in changes the locks and says they live there then gives it back to you sort of a squat on the squatters
So basically the sqwaters were saying "Get out, this is our house now". How dare they just assume they can just snatch a house from someone and move in like that.
These are "professional squatters". The moment you show up, they have their cameras out, and if you *dare* lay a hand on them, they will call the cops, get you arrested, and then sue you for assault and battery, lost wages, pain and suffering...
Diana Herron. You can't even rent a room in your house without serving eviction papers. You would think all you have to do is tell them to leave!! Squatting rights have been on the book for ages. It is an outdated idea. Too many hard working people are being punished for doing things the right way. This happened to my sister. Her family moved into a house and lived THER for years. Imagine their surprise when the owner showed up. They were scammed and even had documents. Once they found out, hey moved out. Unfortunately some people don't seem to know how to do the right thing and then take advantage of others.

bayougrande It doesn't work that way buddy lol, especially in a good neighborhood if people find out that the house next to them was given to a unemployed homeless person they would move out, and the neighborhood would lose value

Probably something to do with stealing land from Native Americans. It's alright until someone does it to you.

And they wonder why 100s of thousands of residents are leaving California. Democratic run cities are being destroyed with their hands off the criminal policies. Anyone with any sense would never have a business there where shoplifting is legal and land piracy is tolerated.
We need a law that makes squatting a crime. The people who do these things have no damned shame whatsoever 🤦♀️
We need to bring back chain gangs and work farms.
They have laws but liberal politicians order police to not arrest criminals or if arrested let thrm out immediately to do more crimes. Need to institute the broken window policy again, if they break one window they likely have broken several more noone knows about.

We dumped their stuff in a dumpster we had delivered that day. We "convinced" them if they came back to the neighborhood, they would be met with more dogs and more people.

I went through this once in my life as I'm a real estate developer.
I simply put into service an ADT Home Security Alarm System with a working telephone line to the property. Once these Squatters trip the alarm ADT will call the home and ask for the Security Password and since they won't know the password the Police are dispatched to the home and you are also immediately notified. Meaning that anyone caught in that home even with a made up lease are automatically arrested for burglary. End of my squatters problem...👌

There you go wondering why they weren't arrested for breaking and entering right away
I know someone who ALMOST got away with squatting in my house. I let a lady with 4 kids stay with me for 60 days to save enough for a downpayment/deposit for her own place. I was fed up after 20 days of seeing her spend money on alcohol and other non-essentials. Being a person of my word, I let her stay the promised 60 days...when the +60 days came around, I told her it was time to move. Her reply was, "Put me out; you have to evict me!" OMG! What a nightmare! I put her and her children's belongings on the curb with incident -- she cried and pleaded with my neighbors, who already knew what was happening. She got most of her belongings the same day. A week later, 3 of my tires were slashed. So be it. This was in the 90's. I'd rather pay 200 for some new tires than a migraine + court costs to evict her. BTW, she knew she was wrong. That's why she didn't take me to court for wrongful eviction.
Thats what you get for helping people, Sad but true.
Never, ever let anyone move into your house even if it is just overnight. Nice people always get screwed.
Why isn't this considered burglary?
burglary requires trespassing + theft any kind OR
trespassing with the intent to commit a crime (usually a felony)
we could solve this problem by making squatting itself a crime
then it would in fact be burglary under the law

We had a squatter in our home when we transferred to the west coast. We rented our home instead of selling it because we wanted to move back into it when our tour was completed. During the time between us moving out and tenants moving in, a squatter broke in and decided to live there. We didn't call the cops, we didn't call the news, we called a friend (6'5 and 245 pounds, a BIG guy) and he went over with a baseball bat and his side arm attached to his belt. The squatter left withing seconds of Matt walking in to the house. No fuss, no mess.

Otherwise, if the property is owned by banks or the state, it shouldn't be possible to move in either, because it's still the property of X. I can't possibly imagine how this is allowed, unless it's deliberate.

Thats one of the problem witg squatter law.
It cant differentiate between people who used the law for innocent purpose like yours, and someone who intententionally used the law for malicious purpose (living rent free).
There should be a law that REQUIRES the owner AND tenant to REGISTER FREE their lease or who's renting the property where law enforcement can access. Both parties should be given 5 business days to REGISTER the lease. If they don't, then they will be penalized with a fine (so what it's inconvenient). This could potentially prevent homeowners from having to go to court to evict squatters. Let the burden be on the squatter instead of the homeowner.

That's what people should do.
and the sound of the alarm should be so LOUD that the squatters wouldn't be able to shut the alarm. Only the owner can shut down this alarm.

lazy prosecutors
It's meant to keep scummy landlords at Bay. So, you sign a rental agreement, pay deposit and first month rent, then they evict you for being there illegally. This used to be rampant, especially in minority areas. So, laws were written to protect them. The pendulum swings to one extreme or another, eventually we'll find a middle ground of common sense.
If it's anything like the UK you have to prove they broke and entered. They say a window or door was open , very hard to prove it wasn't.
lewisner Wouldn’t an alarm system come in handy unless they cutting wires but then it’s cut wires as evidence?
No because you'd have to prove who cut the wires. A couple of starving Rottweilers would work but then you could be charged with recklessly endangering the life of anyone who broke in.
I know there was a case in the States many years ago where a couple who had been repeatedly burgled wired a shotgun at the top of the stairs to a tripwire then went on holiday. When they came home they found a dead guy on the stairs. I believe they were charged with manslaughter.

Heard a story once of a land lord who had a house he was selling and finished renovating. Well apparently some not so nice people were watching the house being built and once it was finished, they moved in that same night through a window they broke. Once the owner saw the security footage, he knew he was in for a long LONG fight. So he placed cockroach stinkbombs around the house made for extermination when the people left one day. He said they grabbed their stuff within 20 minutes and never came back. Cops were called but he said he didn’t know people “broke in and squatted” and was just trying to fix his roach problem. Cops let him go with no warnings and the people were told to leave.
Brilliant. They are human roaches.

@@culcune the story you just watched explained that! Lol
Well how nice of the cops not to charge him with anything for wanting burglars out of his house. I think a shotgun might have been appropriate.
This should not be that hard. If a person is living in a house, does not own said house, or is not paying rent to the owner of said house. They shod not be there and should be arrested for trespassing. If they changed the locks they should be charged with vandalism. If the fake rental agreements, forgery. How is this so difficult?
The problem is these type things are being done on purpose. They are not trying to be ethical. California is being overtaken by nefarious groups.
The point is they lie and most have printed off lease agreements, once shown to the police it's "he said, she said" In this case they did not have the paper work but the owner did this is very rare and she was super lucky to have good neighbors.
Ella Jones you sign lease agreements with apartments. When you don't pay they evict you.
Evictions take time. A lot of damage can be done in that time.

Because if they were a valid renter, they would need to have these rights to protect them and the owner would need to go through the eviction process. These people are taking advantage of that by committing fraud pretending to be valid renters.

I can TOTALLY UNDERSTAND why certain people take the law into their own hands. This law system SUCKS!!
The squatter laws need to be changed. As far as I'm concerned, this is breaking and entering and should be charged as such and the people should be hauled out. And for people that have already been squatting then these people need to be reported to the internal revenue service and the state's franchise tax board. At a minimum, let the IRS go after them. This is failing to report unearned income. The person that owns the home should be able to take a tax deduction for the amount of the house payment and property taxes they paid but could not enjoy

don't blame you one bit......they need the crap beat out of them.......
🥳
Texas Justice is also effective🤣
AMEN NOW THAT'S THE AMERICA I ONCE KNEW? MAN WHAT HAPPENED?
This is absolutely insane.
My home is paid for, and I worked very hard for it. These people would be shocked at how little mercy I would show, and how quickly the end would come. Do you remember the saying, "Hell is coming for breakfast"? Think along those lines.
I would say the same thing but Fascist TH-cam won't let me.
And you’d go to prison
Personally the squatters wouldn't have a chance. 1 phone call to some not quite friends, and they will e begging to leave the property.
@@strawberryseeds You must be a squatter.
@@strawberryseeds not if you do things quickly and quietly. Body disposal is actually quite easy.
This is straight bullsh*t😯!!!! So the law basically supports people like this? FRUSTRATED!!
😟😡
I assume it's meant for actual renters with landlords trying to illegally evict claiming they were squatting when they weren't.
Nope It can take months and money to get them out.
Yep, it's like that New York also. Most any Democratic legacy state has these kinds of anti-business laws. Only way they keep businesses in their regions is to severely reduce taxes for those businesses. Thus the people pay more taxes to subsidize them. Pretty funny huh? And the businesses pay the campaigns and party to keep it that way.
Aren't you happy now Bernie sanders didn't get into office.
on the brink of nuclear war because of fucktard trump and his little wee wee.... no Im not happy.
They used to call it breaking and entering. It's like someone breaking into your house and they get injured and can sue the owners. The laws need major reviews.
So does the leadership in California!
I had been told if someone breaks in, you can hold them there for the cops. Even if they get hurt. If they get out,, drag them back in.. The question I now have is... those thugs will say they were held against their will. Try to sue. Whatever their thieving minds think. Would they win? Good honest people always get the bad end if the stick. I guess if you use a 12 Guage on them and they die, they don't get to fight back. What a mess this world is.
@@meredithbenjamin6057 I had a metro cop once tell me that you make sure they are dead, inside your home, and to even cut yourself with a kitchen knife and put it in the persons hand. The laws, lawyers, and judges are so screwed up you have to cover every angle. Sad times we live in
In my country step one feet in other people property/land without permision already consider as a crime and if you do it at night that is a huge crime, when covid 19 start one of our property in Bali are rented by American than he is not giving us any news until now so base on the contract the property will be open for rent, make sure the contract is sign in front of notary.
@@chrisn.4136 The people want this. They voted for it.
Sad to say, there are a lot of horrible, morablly bereft and disgustible humans out there😢😢😢😢😢
Absolute INSANITY!! THIS country is inside out and upside down!!
That is why Colin kneeled!
2024 a change
Oh my goodness! A crazy thing happened in a country of 300 million people! Forget that most of us generally do the right thing. Time to get scared and ball up in a corner!
Chill out, sugar tits. It's gonna be fine.
Tearing down the country from within. The WW2 generation predicted this.
@@megarth1 That's because every generation thinks the next one is worse.
She was very lucky her neighbour called her and the police arrived in time. If they'd gotten completely moved in, she could have been battling them for many months, possibly losing her home if she needed the rent money to pay the mortgage. Not to mention having to deal with the stress of it all.
My aunt was in that situation for a year no rent collect but this is her investment home.
That's when I do what the one guy did, go over there change the locks and bring a couple of big dogs with me and see what the idiots w!nna do then. Even cal l the cops an the l em there's gonna be someone coming over to harasss me soon. Like cal l em when they hit the driveway....
There's nothing wrong with squatters moving in and landleeches losing claim. Landleechs are nothing more than housing scalpers. Guillotines would be appropriate.
Had this happen to a clients home I was in the process of selling for them. The house was vacant and we were a few weeks from closing. I came buy to check on the house, there were workers in the backyard installing a new lawn and sprinkler system. I asked them what they were doing here. They told me that they were working for the new owner. I told them they had 5 minutes to pack up and leave before I call the police and have them charged with trespassing. Needless to say, they left. I stayed at the home for the next few hours and came back early the next day. I posted a sign NO TRESPASSING. They didn’t come back
Sounds nothing like squatters
Unfortunately, the system and law enforcement, encourages squatting. Just look at law enforcement questioning home owners to prove their position.
It’s laughable that although property taxes are levied against home owners, squatters have rights to your home.
Im from newyork. This has happened to my house after i gave eviction notice to tenant, tenant brought squatters to live. Currently no rent for last 1 year. Im basically doomed, thanks to the govt who made such unjust rules. Shameless govt.
MY GOD !!! ARE YOU JOKING ???
There is a new law in Cali that makes it faster to get eviction notices
Turn the utilities off, and beat the sh it out of them.
@@josephrichardson4678 turning off the utilities in new york means, criminal charges against you and hefty fines including jail time.
So what if someone else comes along when they aren't their breaks in changes the locks and says they live there then gives it back to you sort of a squat on the squatters
So basically the sqwaters were saying "Get out, this is our house now". How dare they just assume they can just snatch a house from someone and move in like that.
And they did just that, I would have walked in and maced the whole house
Phillip Gibbs there are PLENTY of white squatters too, just like junkies. Don't want labels? DONT ASSUME OR PRESUME TO USE THEM!!!
Why would you call the Police?? I would call a few friends and gear up.
Facebook
Lol
Me too the law needs changing fast
Stinkfist762 🤣🤣😭😭💀
These are "professional squatters". The moment you show up, they have their cameras out, and if you *dare* lay a hand on them, they will call the cops, get you arrested, and then sue you for assault and battery, lost wages, pain and suffering...
You have to move faster then the squatters. Today you have protect your self.
If they illegally enter how do they have any rights!!?????
They just claim to have it. Kill on sight.
Diana Herron. You can't even rent a room in your house without serving eviction papers. You would think all you have to do is tell them to leave!! Squatting rights have been on the book for ages. It is an outdated idea. Too many hard working people are being punished for doing things the right way. This happened to my sister. Her family moved into a house and lived THER for years. Imagine their surprise when the owner showed up. They were scammed and even had documents. Once they found out, hey moved out. Unfortunately some people don't seem to know how to do the right thing and then take advantage of others.
None
Liberals, that's why.
qwerty asdfghjm,.]' Stop spreading lies by acting as if this only happens in liberal states. You can simply type in "squatters rights" plus a conservative state into Google and see that some form of this law is active in many states.
Squatters rights can be "adverse possession" laws. Here's a link where you can read about it if you want to: statelaws.findlaw.com/property-and-real-estate-laws/details-on-state-adverse-possession-laws.html
The link will tell you where these laws came from and why they're in place
So basically if you find a empty house and break in, decorate it and move all your stuff in its yours!!! lol you gotta love america smh
bayougrande It doesn't work that way buddy lol, especially in a good neighborhood if people find out that the house next to them was given to a unemployed homeless person they would move out, and the neighborhood would lose value
Sweet then I'm going to stop paying for my house too, because I want a free place.
I've read before that some cities actually do provide houses to homeless people and it's proven to be more cost effective than pumping millions into community programs to help the homeless. There are other issues to be considered for sure but it seems like a good idea if done right.
Shoot them for treaspassing
If your not going to live in it or rent it so Use it or lose it. HOWEVER these folks tried stealing a house that was being put up for rent.
You have to be a vigilante these days to take care of these things. The audacity of these people and the laws! Just ridiculous!!
how did they get in the first place? if things weren't locked wouldn't they have to break in?
UNBELIEVABLE!!! The audacity of people is unreal these days. And the fact that "legally" they may have gotten away with it is even MORE troubling. WE MUST CHANGE THIS SYSTEM!
Communism does not like private ownership.
Why can't the owner just break back in and change the locks again instead of going through all this nonsense. Unbelieveable how many rights thieves have
Change looks throw there things 2 curb.Have your people there and police!
exactly what I wonder!
Because you will be arrested the cops are dicks and treat the owners bad it was a nightmare
Liberals
how they are break back in after the locks got changed?
'Sometimes we can't determine if a squatter is in the home legally or not', as if the squatter had legal rights to be there in the first place.
@Vanya C Ask the squatter to produce the title to 'their house'.
@@brucegordon7248 they aren't claiming it is their house, they claim they are renters..... so frustrating.
@@ShiningSakura Freeloading renters. The police have no authority in a civil matter, and can't arrest them. The owner has to go to court to get them out.
WHY, THE OWNER PROVES IT WITH PAPERS
@@brucegordon7248 exactly
Our legal system is so effed up
Those pieces of shyte should have been arrested for b&e, trespassing, and destroying private property. Every one of them.
If they were all shot with a 12 gauge, I wouldn't feel bad for them at all.
if they were all shot with a 12 gauge, there's be a month or two of BLM marches and the cops would not be prosecuted.
the way it should be.
42 jade dont worry.. atleast they wont break into someones property and squat in it
42 jade there is no excuse to steal. So what if they are homeless? It's their problem not anyone else's
If that was my house, I'd take my property back by force.
Amen
Fking A!!!
Be like in Home Alone - "Im gonna give ya 10 seconds to get your yellow, ugly, no good keester off my properta before I pump your guts full of lead. 1, 2, 10"

I'm grateful and thankful for you that u caught them in time.🎉🎉🎉🎉
You literally can't go on a vacation and leave your house empty or some low life junkie will move in and you will be out of luck
Doesn't have to be empty as long as they like your furniture.
🤷🏽IKR fd up situation😭
Me & my family had been lucky when we went on vacation we had our neighbor keep on our house & always had came back the way it was of no one moving in into our house
Always have a neighbor you trust watch your house if you leave for more than a few days
And that would be when I'd call my insurance company and be like it was crazy man those damn squatters burned my house down with them in it wild so about my insurance
