A disabled veteran and his family are forced to live in a hotel after squatters moved into their condominium and changed the locks. Read the full story here: www.koaa.com/news/news5-inves...
@philip tooley in that case, being a criminal is relative to where he/she live in. If he lives in iraq or vietnam, then he is a bonafide criminal. But he isnt, hes living in his home country. He has the rights to call upon the law to incarcerate those squatters.
Supposedly they’re designed to protect the property owners so the squatters don’t trash the place when they leave which is stupid because that’s what usually happens anyway.
@@bobavettgerkin If you think squatting is okay, I'll bet you don't own a car or rent or own anywhere you have ever lived including now....... When you own something of value and someone else takes it. Then you will understand.
Homeowners should be able to sue city, county, or state if this happens and the criminals have more rights. Can’t even leave your house for fear someone will start living in it rent free.
That poor family. Everyone in their local government sat back and watched this happen and did nothing until it was put on the news. They didn't help them out of duty, they helped them out of embarrassment of the news exposing the atrocity.
Squatter(s) should die of lead poisoning if they don't vacate immediately. I think in some jurisdictions, all rents and leases must be in writing to protect both parties from unlawful occupancy and evictions. If not, it should be a ordinance backed up with ordnance if the squatter doesn't vacate.
That is why 4x4s exist. And baseball bats. See, no squatters anymore. Simple. Just need to be aware that if you do not protect your property, no one will.
There should NEVER be protections for squatters. They know that what they are doing is wrong. Everything that someone can do to defend it is abbedding a scam. This NEEDS TO CHANGE.
@@ertavampy4622 How they built their shelters and learned how to harvest in a land completely unlike their own? Tell me more about how no one ever fought for and won territorial land but white people, you f**king liar.
@@ktmfour1007 No. As you said, they own the land. You don't get to take something that belongs to someone else because you feel they don't use it enough
Wow, just wow. This poor family. Veteran to veteran, you got this and I'm so proud of you for staying strong. These squatters are disgusting. It's upsetting to see those little girls sleeping on the floor while those bastards live in their home for free and brazen about it too.

How is this not breaking and entering!? Anyone can just break into your house and claim they live there!? I'd be taking matters into my own hands and probably get arrested
This country is so stupid, I guarantee u they would put u in jail quicker than they would just come to the house and make them leave🤷🏾♀️ And a disabled veteran at that!?
That’s because they keep paying mortgage and taxes. No access to my home bank is not getting any money they will have the squatters removed immediately saw it in Florida during the housing crash landlords couldn’t remove squatters but when they stop paying the bank they were there the next day to remove them. Also, stop giving the government money if you do not have access to the home do not pay them have them correct the amount what are they going to do you have squatters rights after all.
Right, makes absoulty no sense. I mean if this is the case. We should all go to Hollywood and upgrade our homes with thier. Just gotta hold them off for 14 days and it's ours according to the laws they want right.
I cannot believe this is something that could even happen. The situation is simply ridiculous: a squatter breaks in and starts living in your house, it shouldn't be treated as anything other than breaking and entering, and therefore should be handled by police within minutes. I never would have guessed the housing system was based on little more than "dibs".
dibs ! exactly ! this is insane ! It should be as easy as the police calling the bank to verify who owns the mortgage, it is not that hard to figure out.
No need. I’d sneak into my house, tie myself up, and call the police saying I’ve been kidnapped. They can explain to the jury how the real homeowner was found tied up in the closet. 🙂
Great idea but now lets face reality.These squatters have nothing and are criminals. you are not going to get a penny out of them and these liberal run states don't want to prosecute these types. I say throw these POS individuals into the back of a van and dump them somewhere in the desert. On there walk back to civilization they can think about what they did.
The law that allows people to break into your home, take it over and get them kicked out and they can't do anything about it. This has always bugged the hell out of me. To take it they broke in. That's a crime itself! We must fix this. It's insane. We can't let this happen again.
It makes no sense that residency can be established when they were never authorized to live there in the first place. With all the damage they did, there should be criminal charges filed.
I had a person trying to squat. She went to work one day, came home and all her stuff was nicely packed and placed on the curb. Nothing she could do. Cops told her to pack em up and leave. They can only stay in your house as long as they are in the house. Once they leave to do whatever is when you move them out.
As a veteran myself and I have been homeless I could never ever think of taking over someone else's property these people should be crucified it is disgusting that the law doesn't stand for the just
I had a squatter in my place once, waited until he left for work...bagged up all his stuff in trash bags and set it on the porch....changed the locks, and kept the $100 I found under the couch. You have just as much power as they do, its a simple as not negotiating and taking action instead.
What's sad is thats illegal in a lot of places. But I would rather go to jail taking my property back than let some lowlife bottom feeder enjoy my property that I paid for while I'm left sleeping in a hotel.
Burglers can steal your home and the braindead cops let them. They should be arrested right away if you have the documents to prove its your home and they dont belong their
It is, for the most part, now. The practice goes back to English Common Law with the reforms of Alfred 1100 years ago. This stopped freemen from being forced from their home and land by those with more power.
@Shipwrecked Island Yeah well, since it would be my property, my first reaction would be to kick the door in, throw them out, without calling the police, that way ignorance would be my defense, because that squatter was NOT a former tenant, she was hired to organize, and she just took over, so to someone like that, should get absolutely no protection!
@Shipwrecked Island the guy did NOT abandon the house, they hired the lady to organize the stuff that was in the house and put it in storage, and she decided to take over while they went away for a few days, besides.. I would not give a damn, compared to the thousands of dollars that this guy spent in the hotel with his family, I don't care if I would have spent it on legal fees, I'll tell you one thing.. they're behinds would not be enjoying my house!
It might be cheaper to pay a few guys 2 grand to kick them out in a minute than to get a lawyer, and a hotel room for 5months. Just pay an extra $500 to $1000 actually to have the place cleaned completely and dna evidence cleared before they find their way back to their house and all personal belongings taken to the dump site.
@Dick Grayson you sound silly. Even if you don’t know every law as a police officer it shouldn’t take you several months to figure something out. If I don’t know how to do something at my job I ask someone for help or do a quick Google search.
Lisa Marie Coleman should go to jail and pay the family for pain and suffering. What a despicable thing to do to ANY ONE, especially a family. Shame on her!
this is the problem, everyone is too mean! we need to help these people! a good start is teaching responsibility. Learning to clean is a good start. get this- how about instead of fighting with them we help them!?!? poke a hole in the door and give them cleaning supplies. Pour in some bleach and ammonia, help them get the supplies they need to clean well! Its a win win, they get free cleaning supplies and motivation to clean, annnd youll get a 'clean' house! lets choose peace instead of hate guys!
@@jeoffstandley8044 Nice idea! That's a great way to reach out to these poor misguided people, and at the same time you get a nice clean home free of pests!
I disagree. Squatters rights were made so people without homes could have a place to stay, but for some reason, crazy people take advantage of these laws and break into occupied homes. I beleive they should add onto the law by making it illegal to squat on someone's home or apartment that has been paid for/rented and that those who do not comply will be facing legal charges and/or a very angry homeowner/renter with a shotgun at their doorstep.
@@aperson6863 squatters rights were created so that homeless people could steal someone else's property with no consequences? Screw that. I dare a squatter to try and live in my house or one of my rentals for free. If I have to pay, so do they.
There’s nothing okay with this. Thieves have broken in to their house & should be forcibly removed and fined the cost of what they’ve been paying in mortgage. Along with jail time to discourage squatters from doing this crap again.
If you don't wear a mask they arrest you for trespassing. I would call the police and say their not wearing a mask and you have a piece of paper with the policy on it. Lmfao
The following works for regular landlord/tenant eviction disputes AND squatters. 1: Remove the doors and windows from the property so you can, lol, "weather proof" them. 2: Load them up so you can "go to your shop and perform the necessary modifications." 3: Don't bring them back (due to equipment failure at your shop, if anybody asks). Depending on the season and the local bug population, they'll get out pretty quick. They can't file any complaints because they have ZERO legal standing for being on the property in the first place. As the property owner, you always have the right to do property upgrades, but "tenants under eviction orders" or "squatters" are NOT allowed to do any modifications, so any form of complaint will just be ignored. A friend of mine uses this method to evict nuisance tenants instead of the courts. It's a lot faster and as a bonus, the people on the property are so happy that they'll soon have new weather proofing (lol) that you'll usually get no beef while you are extracting the doors and windows from their frames. LMFAO!!!
They are squatters AND trespassers, but if the property was not being lived in by the owner, the actual owner has to go through a process to evict them. Castle doctrine does not apply if the owner does not live there.
I’ve been saying this!! Local News are the best most real and unbiased News there could be (of course some not all) rather than the huge big media that’s poisoning Idiots brains
I live in CA. A person I know had a similar problem with a house that squatters had moved into. Several rough looking guys rode their bikes over and followed the squatters in the house. They just informed them this was their house now, they could stay or leave. They left in less than a day.
These squatter laws need to be removed. This is not little house on the prairie anymore. These people shouldn't be able to take over anyone's property and utility companies shouldn't be providing service to people without proof of ownership or rent. It should be as simple as trespassing these people and having law enforcement remove them.
As someone who used to rent houses I often came across this situation and had a very unique solution. So I share it for anyone interested. The police always defer to whichever person is standing in the house. They told the person outside they have to handle the situation through the courts. So you have to be in the house. What I would do was enter the house even if I had to break a window in back (its my house) with a gas mask on and throw 6 bug bombs. At the people ran outside I quickly changed the locks. I would bring a couple of large men with me to stand outside and argue with the person I was evicting. This of course was always after they had their 30 days notice and had not gotten out. Usually they would call the police. When the police arrived I let my buddies quickly come back in & we were the ones in the house physically. Telling the police I own the house. I had papers showing the squatters had been evicted 30 days ago and other new papers, showing I had rerented the home to someone else. This is where my other two guys would come in. They would say," they" lived there now, they had moved in a week ago and they don't know why these people were coming back. They had their lease in hand proving they live there for over a week because of course the other people were supposed to be out a week ago according to the legal paperwork. Then invariably, the cops would just tell the evicted people WHO WERE OUTSIDE, that they needed to take it up in civil court. The cops aren't going to force someone out who has an active lease. Sometimes I wouldn't even stay for the police scene I would just leave that to my two operatives. Who were posing as my new tenants. The bug bombs work great to get them out. You could even just not answer the door when the police came after all they don't have a warrant. You just have to physically get them out of the building and then change the locks. It should be added that I always returned all belongings to the renters, putting them out at the curb.
Why is there no way to arrest them for trespassing or theft or for destruction of property. I just don't understand. These people need to be held legally for something, this is sickening!
I'm betting there is just more to this story. It sounds like the homeowners explicitly gave her access and allowed her to use the place in exchange for cleaning it for them. The exact timeline and their relationship to the property is also unclear. If I were to guess, they probably did do something that established a landlord / tenant relationship with the woman, even if brief. If that's the case, the answer they got from police was right: it's a civil matter and the recourse is eviction (and then if she doesn't vacate, she gets arrested). This story feels skewed, though we'd need the woman's perspective to really know anything at all. Could be a total PoS, but there's not enough information here to say and my bias sensor is going off.
@Patrick Quinn; bs. Since there were unknown men in their house its breaking and entering. An illegal, punishable CRIME. The arguing ENDS there. If they ask me, its reasonable for the owner then to shoot on sight without even asking questions.
Yep, I got word some squatters had occupied one of my vacant rental properties...lol We went in about 0400 and greeted them upon awakening about 0630. They were out by 0700.
Had the same issue and took matters into my own hands. Waited until people left my house, I broke in, changed my locks and threw all of their shit in the street, literally. They tried to sue me for damages but they lost and one of them had a warrant so they were arrested in court. Was a great day. Took only a few days.
I think at this point, we as people need to find squatters willing to take over law makers vacation homes and squat in them. It is only THEN that law makers will give a crap about amending the law.
Fight for your things. No one should be able to take it from you. It's like calling the teacher in school for someone stealing your things and them not doing anything about it. Go take care of it! Get your things back with force 💪
If a person has truly established residency (which can be very easily done), then it’s tough legally to do anything without a judge. It’s insane but it’s true.
@@dodgedaytona7435 I can’t speak for the state the story is in, but I’ve lived in places where it’s as easy as staying in the home for a certain amount of days (here is two weeks). Also if a guest has access to a cooking facility (kitchen) or if they receive mail to that address through an address change. A lot of the laws were set up to protect renters but the squatters use them as loopholes.
@@dodgedaytona7435 You are either dumb, or just ignorant of the laws. You cannot just shoot someone for trespass! All you can do is call the police. Learn the law before you preach it. Unless you are protecting life against a deadly force, you cannot just shoot someone
Agreed, this is absolutely crazy, I would go in my home and their would be a fight, were either living together or I am kicking them out. This is crazy. There need to be some more serious laws.
@@ceceroxy2227 I never understand these stories, they sound nuts, it sounds crazy to me that you can't enter your own home that you own when it is inhabited by criminal raiders. This is RE-CHARDED since I can't use the other word lol
You can thank the left for that. Thay even allowed people to not be evicted during the pointless covid lockdowns and live rent free. The left are the destroyers of the prosperous West. Keep voting for democrats if you like this backwards shit
Something similar happened to a neighbor of mine a number of years ago. His brother owned a house on my block and unfortunately died very suddenly. He didn't have any family in state so it was about a week until his brother could come and square away the house and belongings, in the meantime some local dirtbags that knew the deceased decided to move into the house. They paid as much respect to the home and the dead man's possessions as you would guess, just trashed the place. Well, the brother of the deceased was not a man to trifle with. Upon discovery of these "people" in his dead brother's home he remained extremely calm while telling them they needed to leave, they would not. He came back that night around 3 am. With a bullhorn, and a shotgun, and about eight bug bombs. He proceeded to break out windows and toss in active bug bombs. He then got on the bullhorn and informed the human roaches inside what they were being exposed to and recommended they leave the house, they did. It was one of the most bad ass things I've ever seen.
@Nick Diesal every moron on TH-cam has an opinion, yours happens to be wrong. Some of us have lived a "colorful" life, not just whacked off to internet porn and played video games.
If they had done this in Texas, they would probably be leaving the building on a stretcher and/or in a body bag. If you own the house, it’s trespassing; and therefore, using brute force is justified.
Thats how squatting works. These people drive around looking for vacant homes that people were just evicted from. They move there stuff in as quietly as possible, have some type of mail delivered to that address with their name on it and they are in.
@@scottcupp8129 yeah, I understand in certain circumstances squatter’s rights are a legitimate claim, but they really need to change the laws to cover situations of blatant theft.
@@BooBoo-pu1jh Exactly!!!! 👊🏽 No your word against mine crap or court case necessary...it would be a "burglary" that resulted in the death of the burgler. Period.
@@trickyzenmom well no one has to die. Similar thing happened to my cousins house last year. I just brought the heavy weights on my wrestling team after practice, opened the door with the key and moved them out. (It was like 3 women there was no conflict.)
3 days and they are considered residents? I have heard much of the states have these ridiculous laws. How is one supposed to go on holiday? You cannot take a months vacation without risking squatters moving in. This is obscene.
You could if you have friendly neighbors that call the cops when anyone screws around with the doors and windows when you're away without calling them about it first.
Its even worse if you are a dual home owner and are away from the property for months at a time. You need to get an alarm system so that you have live cam views and police get called in if anything happens.
@@Telltale. Most of the countries in the world enjoy 30+ days of holiday allowed by the job per year, and 21 sick days fully paid. America is not one of them.
Squatter equals trespasser - period. I’m glad I live in a state where this stupidity isn’t allowed. We’re just going to handle it. No police and no hotels required. Man up.
Hard to get blood out of a turnip. I've spent thousands on evicting low life tenants over the years. It's just not worth trying to get anything out of people who don't earn anything. I just wish they wouldn't cause thousands in damages when they finally have to go.
When Alisa Milano, the crazy woman that demanded defunding the police, called the police saying that there's a man with a gun roaming near her house, pretty much the whole police dept showed up. There were helicopters and at least 6 squad cars at her neighborhood only to find a kid hunting squirels with a BB gun. If you live in a rich neighborhood it's a whole different set of rules.
I'd do it. And take CARE of it though. And give it back of course. Only to come home to find my tiny hut squatted in. You call your insurance agent. Tell them you're locked out of your house and need a locksmith. The insurance requires ID verification, so do the people who show up. In order to get paid, they have to fill out a form issued BY the insurance. God I love State Farm!!!!
Why is a "squatter" being treated as a "tenant?" A tenant is legally binded with signed contract. A squatter is illegally taking over the property without any contract. How come the authorities cannot do anything about it ? 🤔
I imagine the origimal idea was to protect a temant from a shady landlord claiming there was no contract, and claiming the tenant's copy (assuming they could provide one) was fraudulant. And naturally, scumbags figure out how to twist something meant to protect people in a way that lets them take advantage, because nobody ever anticipates how many there are, or how low they're willing to go.
Wow why are we disrespecting our veterans like this it just isn't fair they try to keep us safe and free and ask nothing in return all who have anything to do bwith being military deserve a lot more 😊😊😊
You can imagine if this was the summer home of the chief of police, or a judge, they wouldn't have to "go through the evictions process" to get them out.
They don't, the local law enforcement are ignorant of the law. In every state a person must live in one place and receive mail at that address for 30 days before they are considered a resident. As for squatters who think they can take over abandoned properties and claim ownership of the property, Sone states have laws which say they must live at said residence for 7 years before they can claim ownership and other states have it listed as 15 years. In my state it is 15 years. They figure if the owner hasn't been around to check on a place for 15 years then they don't want it anyway. Also in that amount of time the property taxes add up and the state can auction the property long before the squatter can claim the property.
@@tammycenter8757 You are talking about residency in the state. This is squatters rights which those people have legal protections, right or wrong they do. Two completely separate issues. As far as ownership of property, I am unaware of any law that says you don't own property until you have lived there for a period of years. If you purchase property regardless if you live on it or not, you own it. What your talking about is property abandonment. If I own a piece of property and pay the taxes on it and keep it in order according to the local code requirements, I never have to set foot on that piece of land and still own it. If I am delinquent on property taxes and/or fail to keep it in compliance with local ordinances, the various governments I am obligate to pay fines to for failure to pay taxes or fines for out of compliance can seize the property as abandoned. I am a Law Enforcement officer and I am very well versed in civil and criminal law regardless if agree with them or not.
Moral of the story: Don’t let people you don’t know personally have full unsupervised access to your house and belongings, even if they are an “expert” organizer.
@Weigo178 The Squatters name is not on the deed or loan and has ZERO rights to or to be on the property other than for any business that they were hired for. After that they have no rights and if they are on the property outside of that they should be killed.
@@lindalauer1434 That is call breaking and entering. Definitely have cameras on the property so police can be called right away. Squatters are just as sly as telephone scammers.
Every squatter that does this, should be IMMEDIATELY DRAGGED out of the house and thrown in jail - they can squat in jail where ALL THIEVES BELONG !! I can't believe we actually have laws that protect people who just decide one day to take over a house (steal a house), from the owners , who , for years paid the mortgage and taxes on it . So what happens to the real home owners if they got back inside and changed the locks on the squatters ? Who would the law protect then ??? Squatters shouldn't have any rights to anything that someone else owns !!
After you serve them a 30-day eviction notice. bug bomb the house with them in it...like a half dozen and after they run out of the house, change the locks and have your owners info ready if they call the cops. These were suggestions of a realtor who posted on this page.
Blame the lawmakers that put the law in place. They were too stupid to account for squatters and people that wont leave your home when you tell the too. This is why I never allow anyone to even spend the night at my house.
@@RainCloud848 It has nothing to do with protecting landlords. It protects tenants and occupants. But in cases where no contract is in place they should be treated as trespassers.
so glad they were able to evict the squatters but it took way to long. Those kids need a proper bed and room to play and a hotel is not it. Shame on that woman for what she put that family through especially those babies
My husband has been through two wars. We live near the biggest fire in the world. I wonder if vets can get air purifiers people that are vets. I live in Oakridge Oregon
Its mind blowing to me that squatters have any rights at all. They should have ZERO rights to a home they do not own. PERIOD. GOD help ANYONE who tries that BS on me or anyone in my family. Id be their worst nightmare.
If this was considered a civil tenancy issue, you are suggesting an illegal eviction. In Maryland you have to pay out five times the value of their stuff as a penalty. He would end up paying out the ass to them.
That squatter is very very lucky! That guy was nice and hired her and she did that? She needs to go to church right away cause she is still able to move freely. Should I say move at all!!!! You cant even go out of town for a couple weeks to take care of a loved one nowadays. He should have put cameras in his home. As soon as she brought 1 item into the house he could have called the cops . Things should be going out not in.
It’s a damned shame when criminals have more rights than a US vet.
Criminals have more rights than the average citizen because they play the pitty card. "If this wasn't happening to me I wouldn't be a criminal! 🥺"

Great idea but now lets face reality.These squatters have nothing and are criminals. you are not going to get a penny out of them and these liberal run states don't want to prosecute these types. I say throw these POS individuals into the back of a van and dump them somewhere in the desert. On there walk back to civilization they can think about what they did.

The law that allows people to break into your home, take it over and get them kicked out and they can't do anything about it. This has always bugged the hell out of me. To take it they broke in. That's a crime itself! We must fix this. It's insane. We can't let this happen again.
A “friendly” visit from the Colorado Chapter of the Hells Angels to the squatters would have solved the problem on Day 1.
It makes no sense that residency can be established when they were never authorized to live there in the first place. With all the damage they did, there should be criminal charges filed.
The act of living their on its own should be considered fraud. Once a complaint is put in front of the police it should be full investigated.

I had a person trying to squat. She went to work one day, came home and all her stuff was nicely packed and placed on the curb. Nothing she could do. Cops told her to pack em up and leave. They can only stay in your house as long as they are in the house. Once they leave to do whatever is when you move them out.
As a veteran myself and I have been homeless I could never ever think of taking over someone else's property these people should be crucified it is disgusting that the law doesn't stand for the just
That's because you are a good decent person, like we ALL should be!! 💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏
I had a squatter in my place once, waited until he left for work...bagged up all his stuff in trash bags and set it on the porch....changed the locks, and kept the $100 I found under the couch. You have just as much power as they do, its a simple as not negotiating and taking action instead.

The entire "squatter's rights" thing is utterly stupid and insane.

Yes this is insane, how can you steal someone's house, I would lose my mind.
It is, for the most part, now. The practice goes back to English Common Law with the reforms of Alfred 1100 years ago. This stopped freemen from being forced from their home and land by those with more power.

Squatters are just intruders and should be treated as such. A single warning, followed by arrest.

@@markfloors6988 right would have put they’re stuff out and moved my back in and said now I’m squatting
@Shipwrecked Island the guy did NOT abandon the house, they hired the lady to organize the stuff that was in the house and put it in storage, and she decided to take over while they went away for a few days, besides.. I would not give a damn, compared to the thousands of dollars that this guy spent in the hotel with his family, I don't care if I would have spent it on legal fees, I'll tell you one thing.. they're behinds would not be enjoying my house!
It might be cheaper to pay a few guys 2 grand to kick them out in a minute than to get a lawyer, and a hotel room for 5months. Just pay an extra $500 to $1000 actually to have the place cleaned completely and dna evidence cleared before they find their way back to their house and all personal belongings taken to the dump site.
Thank you for helping these people. No one should have to go through this nonsense. The woman was unbelievably cruel and criminal for what she did.

Right!?!
This scares me so badly. I think that all states should get rid of all squatters rights. It needs to stop.
Kill them, get rid of the pests
I 100% agree
I disagree. Squatters rights were made so people without homes could have a place to stay, but for some reason, crazy people take advantage of these laws and break into occupied homes.
I beleive they should add onto the law by making it illegal to squat on someone's home or apartment that has been paid for/rented and that those who do not comply will be facing legal charges and/or a very angry homeowner/renter with a shotgun at their doorstep.
@@aperson6863 that's... Pretty good.
@@aperson6863 squatters rights were created so that homeless people could steal someone else's property with no consequences? Screw that. I dare a squatter to try and live in my house or one of my rentals for free. If I have to pay, so do they.
There’s nothing okay with this. Thieves have broken in to their house & should be forcibly removed and fined the cost of what they’ve been paying in mortgage. Along with jail time to discourage squatters from doing this crap again.
Exactly. It's no different than a burglar or thief. Police should have removed on the spot.
Yeh this was very bad. This wasn’t an abandoned home.
You will never get any money out of them. They are probably living on welfare and the soup kitchen.
Honestly law enforcement failed
If you don't wear a mask they arrest you for trespassing. I would call the police and say their not wearing a mask and you have a piece of paper with the policy on it. Lmfao
The following works for regular landlord/tenant eviction disputes AND squatters. 1: Remove the doors and windows from the property so you can, lol, "weather proof" them. 2: Load them up so you can "go to your shop and perform the necessary modifications." 3: Don't bring them back (due to equipment failure at your shop, if anybody asks). Depending on the season and the local bug population, they'll get out pretty quick. They can't file any complaints because they have ZERO legal standing for being on the property in the first place. As the property owner, you always have the right to do property upgrades, but "tenants under eviction orders" or "squatters" are NOT allowed to do any modifications, so any form of complaint will just be ignored. A friend of mine uses this method to evict nuisance tenants instead of the courts. It's a lot faster and as a bonus, the people on the property are so happy that they'll soon have new weather proofing (lol) that you'll usually get no beef while you are extracting the doors and windows from their frames. LMFAO!!!
This is unacceptable... He served his country and now he has to go through this!!.....sad!!
They're not squatters, they're trespassers and should be treated as such.
When the police say they can't help, that's when you say....... this state has castle doctrine...right? See what kind of response that gets
lol what kind of state is this haha, probably squatters doesn't have right ,thank God I'm not western ahha
Yep, it’s over much faster if you go in and removed them.
Buried alive
They are squatters AND trespassers, but if the property was not being lived in by the owner, the actual owner has to go through a process to evict them. Castle doctrine does not apply if the owner does not live there.

I live in CA. A person I know had a similar problem with a house that squatters had moved into. Several rough looking guys rode their bikes over and followed the squatters in the house. They just informed them this was their house now, they could stay or leave. They left in less than a day.
These squatter laws need to be removed. This is not little house on the prairie anymore. These people shouldn't be able to take over anyone's property and utility companies shouldn't be providing service to people without proof of ownership or rent. It should be as simple as trespassing these people and having law enforcement remove them.

That man is spineless. Give up?! Bro that is your HOME
As someone who used to rent houses I often came across this situation and had a very unique solution. So I share it for anyone interested. The police always defer to whichever person is standing in the house. They told the person outside they have to handle the situation through the courts. So you have to be in the house. What I would do was enter the house even if I had to break a window in back (its my house) with a gas mask on and throw 6 bug bombs. At the people ran outside I quickly changed the locks. I would bring a couple of large men with me to stand outside and argue with the person I was evicting. This of course was always after they had their 30 days notice and had not gotten out. Usually they would call the police. When the police arrived I let my buddies quickly come back in & we were the ones in the house physically. Telling the police I own the house. I had papers showing the squatters had been evicted 30 days ago and other new papers, showing I had rerented the home to someone else. This is where my other two guys would come in. They would say," they" lived there now, they had moved in a week ago and they don't know why these people were coming back. They had their lease in hand proving they live there for over a week because of course the other people were supposed to be out a week ago according to the legal paperwork. Then invariably, the cops would just tell the evicted people WHO WERE OUTSIDE, that they needed to take it up in civil court. The cops aren't going to force someone out who has an active lease. Sometimes I wouldn't even stay for the police scene I would just leave that to my two operatives. Who were posing as my new tenants. The bug bombs work great to get them out. You could even just not answer the door when the police came after all they don't have a warrant. You just have to physically get them out of the building and then change the locks. It should be added that I always returned all belongings to the renters, putting them out at the curb.
This is genius 👏 🙌
Outstanding, when I hear stories like what happened to these folks, the old school Bronx in me comes out.

Why is there no way to arrest them for trespassing or theft or for destruction of property. I just don't understand. These people need to be held legally for something, this is sickening!
the criminals have more rights than the tax paying citizens.
Badly written laws. Sometimes it is that simple.
I'm betting there is just more to this story. It sounds like the homeowners explicitly gave her access and allowed her to use the place in exchange for cleaning it for them. The exact timeline and their relationship to the property is also unclear. If I were to guess, they probably did do something that established a landlord / tenant relationship with the woman, even if brief. If that's the case, the answer they got from police was right: it's a civil matter and the recourse is eviction (and then if she doesn't vacate, she gets arrested). This story feels skewed, though we'd need the woman's perspective to really know anything at all. Could be a total PoS, but there's not enough information here to say and my bias sensor is going off.
They need to be executed Or they'll continue to do this as long as they are able to get away with it
@Patrick Quinn; bs. Since there were unknown men in their house its breaking and entering. An illegal, punishable CRIME. The arguing ENDS there. If they ask me, its reasonable for the owner then to shoot on sight without even asking questions.

Something similar happened to a neighbor of mine a number of years ago. His brother owned a house on my block and unfortunately died very suddenly. He didn't have any family in state so it was about a week until his brother could come and square away the house and belongings, in the meantime some local dirtbags that knew the deceased decided to move into the house. They paid as much respect to the home and the dead man's possessions as you would guess, just trashed the place. Well, the brother of the deceased was not a man to trifle with. Upon discovery of these "people" in his dead brother's home he remained extremely calm while telling them they needed to leave, they would not. He came back that night around 3 am. With a bullhorn, and a shotgun, and about eight bug bombs. He proceeded to break out windows and toss in active bug bombs. He then got on the bullhorn and informed the human roaches inside what they were being exposed to and recommended they leave the house, they did. It was one of the most bad ass things I've ever seen.

Why do squatters get rights in 3 days. That's way too short. Somebody staying in your home over a long weekend can say they are not leaving. Smh
Yes that’s bizarre. Just because you did a business deal with someone doesn’t give them a right to your property.
They don't, the local law enforcement are ignorant of the law. In every state a person must live in one place and receive mail at that address for 30 days before they are considered a resident. As for squatters who think they can take over abandoned properties and claim ownership of the property, Sone states have laws which say they must live at said residence for 7 years before they can claim ownership and other states have it listed as 15 years. In my state it is 15 years. They figure if the owner hasn't been around to check on a place for 15 years then they don't want it anyway. Also in that amount of time the property taxes add up and the state can auction the property long before the squatter can claim the property.
Yes, that's why you should be very careful who you allow to stay in your house.
That has happened
@@tammycenter8757 You are talking about residency in the state. This is squatters rights which those people have legal protections, right or wrong they do. Two completely separate issues. As far as ownership of property, I am unaware of any law that says you don't own property until you have lived there for a period of years. If you purchase property regardless if you live on it or not, you own it. What your talking about is property abandonment. If I own a piece of property and pay the taxes on it and keep it in order according to the local code requirements, I never have to set foot on that piece of land and still own it. If I am delinquent on property taxes and/or fail to keep it in compliance with local ordinances, the various governments I am obligate to pay fines to for failure to pay taxes or fines for out of compliance can seize the property as abandoned. I am a Law Enforcement officer and I am very well versed in civil and criminal law regardless if agree with them or not.
Moral of the story: Don’t let people you don’t know personally have full unsupervised access to your house and belongings, even if they are an “expert” organizer.
Exactly!
@Weigo178 The Squatters name is not on the deed or loan and has ZERO rights to or to be on the property other than for any business that they were hired for. After that they have no rights and if they are on the property outside of that they should be killed.
Or your relatives.
@Judah Jack They don't have to have keys.
@@lindalauer1434 That is call breaking and entering. Definitely have cameras on the property so police can be called right away. Squatters are just as sly as telephone scammers.
If squatters tried to do this at my house their dead bodies would be found on the side of the road the same day.
Where is this please
Every squatter that does this, should be IMMEDIATELY DRAGGED out of the house and thrown in jail - they can squat in jail where ALL THIEVES BELONG !! I can't believe we actually have laws that protect people who just decide one day to take over a house (steal a house), from the owners , who , for years paid the mortgage and taxes on it .
So what happens to the real home owners if they got back inside and changed the locks on the squatters ?
Who would the law protect then ???
Squatters shouldn't have any rights to anything that someone else owns !!
After you serve them a 30-day eviction notice. bug bomb the house with them in it...like a half dozen and after they run out of the house, change the locks and have your owners info ready if they call the cops. These were suggestions of a realtor who posted on this page.
Blame the lawmakers that put the law in place. They were too stupid to account for squatters and people that wont leave your home when you tell the too. This is why I never allow anyone to even spend the night at my house.
@@MrWizards1974 it's a state-by-state law to protect landlords!
@@RainCloud848 It has nothing to do with protecting landlords. It protects tenants and occupants. But in cases where no contract is in place they should be treated as trespassers.
how is it not breaking and entering the moment they enter the home for the first time? damage to real property for changing the locks?
so glad they were able to evict the squatters but it took way to long. Those kids need a proper bed and room to play and a hotel is not it. Shame on that woman for what she put that family through especially those babies
No, shame on the government system in the USA.
@@TuanNguyen-su4yy no shame on the woman for doing this.
@@TuanNguyen-su4yy that is not the Us. it is the state of Co and it is dem run
How can this person be considered a tenant if she hasn’t signed a lease? It is mind-boggling
My husband has been through two wars. We live near the biggest fire in the world. I wonder if vets can get air purifiers people that are vets. I live in Oakridge Oregon
Its mind blowing to me that squatters have any rights at all. They should have ZERO rights to a home they do not own. PERIOD. GOD help ANYONE who tries that BS on me or anyone in my family. Id be their worst nightmare.
It’s laws like this that proves to us all that politicians don’t give a flying F about the people who they are supposed to be representing!!
😡
Damn straight.
Thank you! My husband and I wouldn’t need any cops . Just a couple of friends and those squatters would be thrown out like the trash they are!
@@MrManfly it’s all up to the whack ass cops.
I’m surprised that a veteran doesn’t have some friends that would make the problem disappear.
My thoughts exactly 😁
Navy seals are very proficient at their jobs.
Legally, The squatters have the legal hand here. If you went there and tried to remove the people, You would end up in prison.
The can help from the VA or the state veterans organization.
If this was considered a civil tenancy issue, you are suggesting an illegal eviction. In Maryland you have to pay out five times the value of their stuff as a penalty. He would end up paying out the ass to them.
This is crazy!!!!
Squatters have more rights than the homeowners.
The fact that this is possible is bizarre
So if it's a civil matter, I will introduce them to Smith and Wesson, guaranteed results.
Hell of a comment! That's exactly what I would have done!
YEAH REALLY!!!
I was thinking Louisville Slugger
That squatter is very very lucky! That guy was nice and hired her and she did that? She needs to go to church right away cause she is still able to move freely. Should I say move at all!!!! You cant even go out of town for a couple weeks to take care of a loved one nowadays. He should have put cameras in his home. As soon as she brought 1 item into the house he could have called the cops . Things should be going out not in.
Exactly! I would have kicked that door in and threw them OUT!
Don't think my Dad would ever go through this... enough said.
This is breaking and entering. PERIOD!
