The laws squatters are trying to say they can have rights under is the old homesteaders rights, which allow a person to claim private land in public trust after having lived on it for a predetermined time period, usually years which would grandfather them into the ownership status, especially if they have done anything to make the land useful. Problem is, homesteading laws require years and public lands, not private lands and existing domiciles. The eviction laws also only cover legal documents that have been through a notary public's signatory. A falsified document, including lease agreements which have to be legally signed and notorized, is a felony offense. Plain and simple, it's breaking and entering. And it should be treated as such.

There are reasons for squatter’s rights laws. “They prevent the abandonment of properties and enable the productive usage of land. By permitting squatters to ascertain a claim, what the law states is designed to discourage homeowners from leaving their land or buildings unused for longer durations. This will in addition help alleviate problems with the deterioration of properties and advertise community development.” They also prevent landlords from forcing people out of homes before it can be determined if they have a right to stay or not. Sometimes landlords attempt to remove tenants who have a legal right to be there because they have a proper lease. They need to be reworked to prevent the abuses we’ve been seeing, but without throwing the baby out with the bath water.

@SL-es5kb

There is no such thing as squatters rights they don’t have legal rights but get away with this because of difficulty enforcing the owners legal rights. Historically at common law, several years of open use and maintainenance of a property could ground a claim to title. Of an owner asserted title at any point the clock would stop. It never has and does not apply to people breaking into a property and staying there for a few months. You are seeing more of this now because legal system failing. The legal system moves slow and lots of people lie or forge a lease and this prevents the sheriff from evicting people until it moves through the courts.

@staciecarrel4492

18 күн бұрын

Squatter’s rights are intended to help people in one specific circumstance: There’s a vacant property abandoned for years and it’s been that way long enough that no one knows who the owner is. Everyone has assumed the owner has died with no heirs. So people move in and repair the property. Suddenly some years later, a person arrives that claims it is their property. And now that the residents have fixed it up, they want to make use of it and kick out the people that have repaired it and lived in it with no challenge for a few years now. The law allows those people to stay put while the court works through its processes to determine whether this long-lost owner really is the owner, and whether the owner has the rights to kick the people out.

15 күн бұрын

None of this makes any dang sense and obviously the laws need to be cleaned up to protect the average home-owner. Period. Not the one in a zillion abandoned property apparently being remodeled for years by some big hearted hard working squatter who doesn’t expect anyone to come and claim it..? Clearly that’s stupid and not what the law is meant for now if it ever was before. We’ve all heard of states with obscure laws from like 1890 still on the books but not enforced, like walk your horse down Main Street on a Sunday and you’re arrested. Telling a home or business owner they have to spend thousands+ dollars and countless hours when someone breaks in and lives in their property is clearly stupid, outdated, and needs to go. Laws should protect law abiding citizens.

A while back, liberal politicians were able to convince enough people that an unoccupied building housing someone who would otherwise be homeless is only a loss of some time. Time that isn't as valuable as the human life in the building or the potential trauma that potentially homeless person will face. Secondly, law enforcement won't treat them that way because of liberal settlements that cost the department millions. If the US wasn't so litigious, they might be willing to treat them as burglars from the get go.

Believe it or not, simply posting "no trespassing" signs on a property is usually enough, in most states, to override any squatter's rights. The main thing that the law relies on is that the squatters are *notified* that they are on somebody else's property. If they are notified that they are on somebody else's property and made aware they are trespassing, then poof, "squatter's rights" are gone in most states. Squatter's rights only really kicks in when somebody has been occupying property for a certain amount of the time, and the owner of that property has not protested their occupation. This usually occurs in fairly innocuous ways, such as somebody builds a fence a few feet over their property line and into a neighbor's property, and the neighbor doesn't care, or doesn't notice, until say four or five years later - at that point it's too late to simply say "hey your fence is on my land". That's when squatter's rights actually kicks in. It's the lack of protest by the actual owner that gives the squatter rights to the property after a long enough time has passed (in most states this means several years have passed without the owner raising the issue).

Well done, Flash. You did what you needed to do, and the deputies did their job correctly. You went there in person with proof that you were the legal resident - a signed, notarized lease. Thankfully the squatters cooperated and no one was hurt. They did not destroy the property, which they might have during a long court fight. The Officers cannot enter a residence without a)a search warrant, or b)permission from a proven legal resident, or c)just cause cause like someone screaming for help, a fire, etc. Anyone can call on the phone and say that the house is illegally occupied. The written permission for sherriff is an excellent idea - the real estate agents need to call them each time before entering.

You are absolutely an earth angel! You were so kind in the midst of such a horrific situation. People need to have hearts like yours! If you lived near me in Florida, I’d hire you in a heartbeat! Is that Steeler gear in the background? Steeler girl here forever!

I had someone trying to squat in one of my houses while I had legal tenants living there. The squatter occupied one room. So I consulted an attorney and a hearing for an eviction was set. Unfortunately eviction was an all or nothing event. I would have had to evict everyone or no one. So before the court date, my legal tenants arranged to stay with friends on the court day so I wouldn't have to put an eviction against their names because people who have an eviction in my state get their names on a public list and no one will rent to them for 20 years. It was a Friday and court was set for Monday. The squatter had a disabled baby that was not being cared for properly, and apparently CPS was scheduled to make a home visit before the court date. As soon as the squatters found out about the CPS visit, they packed up everything they had and left the state. So the court date was cancelled and all my tenants moved back in, and everyone was happy except the would be squatters.

Laziness is a Sin, when you are working a Job Fulltime 40-50 hours a week and you don't have enough money to live from, then the employer is a Sinner as he is greedy and paying you not enough. Greed is a Sin as the result is poverty and exploit of the week. Thats what Jesus said.

Good for you buddy,I’m really glad you got them out and without any drama

You did that all in such a calm manner! Great job!

This happened at my grandma's house after she passed away, the house was vacant and was literally on the market to be sold, this young couple and their friends tried to come in and make it their own making it unable to sell due to them living there.. we got wind of the situation and the police acted like they couldn't do anything because they were living there even though my mom was the house owner now... Welp we went and confronted them, they told us basically to F off and they had rights... Since no one wanted to help we took action into our own hands, we changed all the locks so they couldn't get back in, placed their items in the driveway, and moved some of our belongings in there and took over, they weren't happy at all! Even called the law... But the police took our side, said we owned the house and since our stuff was now inside an we are living there, there was nothing they could do... We also went to court because they were using the electricity and water for their time occupying the place which they tried to throw a pity party about, but the judge made them pay for it. 😂😂

@@FavoriteMusicSongs what we did? Their lucky we didn't break their stuff for what they tried to pull, instead we sat it outside packed up in boxes. Their not allowed back on the property, we have a restraining order against each of them to stay 100 ft from the house and tons of security cameras now. People have to learn that you can't come in and try to claim something that's not yours, it's not how the way the world works and they definitely learned that day. I personally don't think squatters should have any rights, especially when it comes to someone else's property, it doesn't matter is the house has been vacant for 100 years, it's not theirs and I think the government should due away with that whole law all together

same situation with my mom. the lady was so brazen about it too lol like what the actual fuck... my mom inherited the house when my grandparents passed tho and my cousin was living in it. He let them stay for a weekend before he moved out, and they never got out. She had to pay 500 just to get them out, after waiting on court since it was during covid ugh. It should never even be allowed to happen...

What a guy! He beat the system, and got justice for his Mom, without any threats, anger, or physical violence! Brilliant! ❤️

I did basically the same thing 30 years ago. My mom had a problem with a renter that just quit paying rent and no matter what they would not move out. What I did was had my mom issue me a rental receipt for the house. I walked up and explained that I had rented the house and I was going to call the police because they were in my legally rented home. The next day they were gone. 😊

Nicely done. The house next to me had Craigs List "renters" in it that got evicted out escorted by sheriffs when the house went into foreclosure after the owner stopped making payments.

I had a family member went to get squatters out with the police in Chicago couldn't do anything, my cousin basically begged the woman and her husband to leave and giving them time to move, one day she was fed up and it was in the winter, she broke just about every window out and drove off. The cold made them move faster than anybody could.

The guy should have moved in with a made up lease as well, one predating the sqwatters lease. Then made moves on the wife 24/7. Hope in bed with the woman, regardless what she looked like and then filed restaining orders against these people.

Back in the late 90s, my girlfriend and I were living in Portland TX, were neighbors with one of my Marine buddies and his wife. They had a furnished vacation beach house in Florida that they were looking to sell. They had previously rented it out over the winters, but hadn't done so in over a year. There was a lock box with the keys mounted on the exterior of the house. They called a realtor to look at the house. The realtor told them that the lock box was missing, and people appear to be occupying the house. So my friend called the police there and reported that people were trespassing in his house. The police called back, said that there were no signs of breaking and entering, and that the people in the house claimed that they were the tenants renting the house. My friend then faxed the deed to the house and property to the police, showing that he owned it, and told them that he was not renting it. When the police went out again, the people in the house showed them a copy of a lease they had for the property. So the police said that there was nothing that they could do, and my friends would need to go through the courts to resolve the issue. They knew that this would take at least a year, possibly up to several years to resolve. So my friend and I, along with 5 more of our Corp buddies decided to take a trip to Florida and force the squatters out. After we arrived there we did some recon on the house for about a week. There were 3 couples staying there, and they all worked during the day mornings and afternoons. The lock box had been torn from the exterior wall of the house and the spot covered with a decorative sign. My friend used his own keys to get us in, and we waited for the squatters to get back. The entire house was immaculate and very clean, lingering smell of Fabuloso in the kitchen, bleach in the bathrooms. My friend noticed that some repairs and light renovations had been done. So the three couples that were occupying the place all returned, and things were tense for a bit. At first we told them that they had the weekend to move out. They argued back that they had a lease and were the legal tenants. My friend countered that he was the legal owner of the property and never had a lease with them. One of the young ladies staying there went to use the restroom and called the cops. The police came out, and things got heated again. Here we were, 7 Marines, 6 hippie looking young people, and 4 cops arguing in circles. We said that we were not leaving until we removed the people from the property. The people occupying the house said they were not leaving. The cops said that we all need to take the matter up in court. Then one of our friends took our friend who owned the house to another room, they talked for about 10 minutes. Then they had one of the young couples staying in the house to join them, they talked some more, and 2 of the cops got in on the conversation as well. When they came back, the cops told us good luck, and left. So since the place was very well taken care of during the approximate year's time that these people were in the house, my friend offered them a rent to own deal on the house, which they accepted. So everything worked out well. The people in the house took legal action against the couple who falsely rented them the house. They won that case, were awarded the amount they spent in rent, and other damages. The couple scamming them were found to be doing the same thing with more than 20 other properties, they were arrested for it. I'm glad that this issue was able to be resolved in this way. Our original plan was to ask them to leave willingly. If they refused, we were going to remove all of their personal property from the house and put it at the curb the next time they were all at work, and then change the locks and secure the house. But things worked out for the better for everyone.

That's good if in case there is no one occupying,and u get someone who will keep the house in good shape then it's better u negotiate for proper lease documents then that's all. Rather than pushing them out. All we ve to know is that all fingers are not the same.
