The Anti-Squatter Law should be very robust and clear , similar to the one signed in Florida this past March, if it isn't then an amendment (jail the squatter immediately, minimum one year in jail, restitution to the homeowner, removal is immediate, etc.,) needs to be done.

The simple solution is one rich people would hate. To lease a space you need to apply a for a permit. That permit process requires you to be proven to be the owner record of a property. That permit lists the person authorized to sign lease contracts, or several people if it's a business that has employees. You both must present ID and sign the lease in front of a county clerk. That lease is then filed, and copies given to both parties. Someone claims to have a squatter and police are called. Police are shown paperwork by potential squatter and call the county clerk. Clerk checks to see if there is a permit and signed lease. There is a lease? Person is not a squatter and person calling is arrested. There is no lease? Police forcibly remove squatter(s) and bring them to jail. This eliminates squatters staying in properties for any period of time, or tying up the civil courts. This also eliminates people getting scammed by losers who find empty houses to "rent" to unsuspecting third parties.

The favors renters but squatters illegally took advantage of that law. Say you are legitimately renting a house and the owner decides that you need to go. The owner calls the police and claims that someone broke in and is living there. Police come, you show a lease / the owner shows a deed. Would you be OK with immediately being evicted and your stuff thrown out?

This poor woman! She shouldn’t have had to wait one day to get in her OWN home ! It’s insanity Hope she has some recourse for the damages they did to her own

Was her arrest voided? The level of ignorance and disregard for her rights is disgusting.

This is what America is supposed to be like. Fairness.... Instead of selfish people taking everything. And abusing innocent people.

Arresting the true owner on her own house is the stupid thing NYPD did. I thought nypd have more common sense but is just that in the US, squatters should have no right in other houses. NY politicians should make a law that like innFlorida. Squatters have no right

Thank you for doing a follow up

If squatters are working they need to be assessed damages and their paychecks garnished until paid for if not working and receiving any kind of check from anywhere then that needs to be garnished until damages are paid for....they need to be held responsible for the damages they do.

Reallocate them to mayors houses

Welcome to NY. The city should be responsible for all damages

This is ridiculous! Never in my life (and I am old), have I seen America going down the tubes. Why should squatters have the right to live in a person's home?????????????? Our laws protect criminal behavior!

So glad she was able to get her home back 😄...

America is weird. I can’t imagine owning a home where people can just occupy it and I cannot do anything about it!

Thank God she got her home back i felt like pullin up for her 🤣♥️♥️

I really hope the judge forces restitution by the squatters for the damage they created in her place. That's truly despicable what they did to someone else's home.

Judge, the entire legal system protects the squatters. Now they have a new law in NY, that in order to take the squatters to court, you need to know the exact name. I have been chasing, searching for their name, because if the name is wrong or misspelled, the whole case is thrown out of the court. I had 9 unknown people. Police can't help you and are not willing to help you either. The city fined me multiple times for the amount of garbage outside the house. I have to clean up the outside every 2 weeks to avoid more fines. Just 2 weeks before court day, additional people move in, and those were not listed in the court case. The court is to protect them, not the taxpayers. After more than a year, I was able to take them out. The house was destroyed.

There has to be laws protecting homeowners but instead the laws protect criminals

Why squatters have any rights whatsoever is beyond me. They have hijacked/stolen someone's home.

God Bless you and all your family 😊 Thank you for your sacrifice 🙏 ❤️ 🙌 Peace , Joy, love and Happiness. You Helped alot of others. Kudos 👏 😅

Squatters should be made to pay damages. Ridiculous that they can break into a house, damage it and leave scott free.

Sell take the money and run

The state needs to make the squatter pay for all the damages and a year worth of rent to this woman.

The first thing I would do.....change the battery in the fire detector!!!😂😂😂

I used to house sit, stay in their house, for people to protect their home while they were away either for the season or vacation. They’d pay me to do it. I kept it clean, occupied, and watched for any break downs and any yard or pets they had.

They made such a wreck of the place, it would cause emotional damage to move back in. She needs to find a new place and sell that home.

🙏🙏🙏

Invest in a security system with cameras so that you'll know immediately when someone trespasses and can have them arrested and removed the same day. $40+/mo is worth the prevention.

Isn't the owner who was arrested by police for trying to get rid of the squatter

At the end, you won 🏅 🏆

Ms Adell wasn't playing lol. So happy for her ❤❤

Well done the media!

In Florida, squatters get removed after one day

Finally…

That is fabulous! Now homeowners need a bill of rights!

We want to hear the whole story.

Squatters have more rights than owners

2 months......is a long time.....Her home is destroyed.

What a great story-homeowners should have the same right to have squatters removed as businesses do-police were able to immediately remove a woman who was living inside a sign on the roof of a business. But people break into a vet's house while he is in the hospital and he can't get them removed. Like this woman. There need to be reasonable renter's rights, but these squatters are not renters. People do need a place to live, but taking over innocent people's property is not the answer and should be dealt with immediately as the crime it is.

CHANG THE BATTERY ON YOUR SMOKE ALARM!!!!!

Should be held responsible for damaging her home , even if she could set up a lien on their accounts! The law needs to take it to the next level to hit their pockets. Like they do criminals who robbed banks , make them responsible for restitution! A lot of tax payers money including the homeowners was wasted for this so called amended law to pass, got police , district attorney, court system ect They need to pay for ALL the costs associated with unlawfully breaking into her property!

Wow

You shouldn't have to pay taxes on a home if someone is squatting in it. Bet theyd pass a useful law if ppl didnt pay the taxes because the government didn't do its job to protect the tax paying homeowner

Finally, the ridiculous law changes for the better. Still, squatters find ways around things! 💪😎✌️ Stay classy, society.

They have rights because some homeowners renting high without report income.
