Landlords are now beating squatters at their own game. They are learning how to turn the tables by squatting on the squatters.
This concept of invading the homes of the squatters was made very public by Mr. Flash Shelton: He became a national inspiration to landlords when he employed bold strategies to evict a mother-daughter grifter team from his mother’s family home.
The dramatic event was recorded by Mr. Shelton and uploaded on YouTube.
His amateur production of outwitting the mother-daughter grifter team offered a glimpse of what could be accomplished when the injured party (i.e. landlord) refuses to be handcuffed by an inept and morally bankrupt judicial system. He is a handyman by trade and used to getting the job done himself.
Landlords must have been gobsmacked by the simplicity of his strategy as evidenced by the more than two million views in less than 48 hours. The informal eviction process would prove to take approximately 24 hours.
Shelton simply staked out his mother’s home and waited for the grifters to leave: Then he proceeded to enter the premises to install security cameras, change the locks, and record the squatters’ personal property piled high in every room. The grifters appeared ready for a long and cozy stay, placing their expectations on the law-abiding landlord getting lost in the nightmare of drawn-out legal filings and costly judicial fees.
Things did not go as anticipated for the squatters.
They returned to the home to find Shelton waiting for them and waiving a lease in their face (with his mother naming him as the legal tenant) and alerting them to the changes in the house. “Ninety percent of the time,” Mr. Shelton says, “The lock-out procedure works.” That’s his strategy of choice.
One can only guess at the number of landlords watching

It is good that there is an approach that property owners can use.
Squatters? Criminal INVADERS.
...”inept and morally bankrupt judicial system.” Identify the morally bankrupt judges, America’s robed mullahs.
Very good....This is becoming an epidemic and glad some aren’t sitting still for it. I believe there was a teaser on this subject for the late news in Atlanta last night but I didn’t catch it - something about legislation. I surely hope so.
I posted on another thread yesterday about the woman who checked on her mother’s apartment in NYC and found squatters who killed her and left her body in a duffel bag and another one that happened in a Beverly Hills mansion.. They found the two monsters in the NYC case yesterday in Yorktown, PA.
What happens to the squatters when someone is successful in getting them out? Does the law prolong that also?
Someone took the movie “Pacific Heights” a little too helpful. Good movie.
HOORAY!!!!!! This is what I missed last night on the news.
Our stinking Democtrat Party has been asking people to open their homes and not a peep from anyone of them in the USG telling the American People their property and belongings are safe or off-limites to illegal government sanctioned invaders.
The Florida House and Senate passed a squatting law too. If DeSantis signs it then it will take effect on July 1.
Is this more trans rights nonsense?
As a property owner you should be able to shoot squatters. Doesn’t have to be lethal, both legs, arms and shoulders works.
Is trespassing no longer against the law? Out of all the cases I’ve read about, not once have I seen trespassing mentioned.
If the J6 protestors had claimed that they live in the US Capitol, would all of the politicians have to leave?
I find that puzzling as well.
…and waiving a lease in their face (with his mother naming him as the legal tenant
…why would showing them a lease be intimidating or necessary to show to these bums?
What squatters do is fake a lease or sales documents. They even go as far as to file deeds at the county in some cases. The cops see that and decide it is a civil problem to be resolved in the courts and leave.
As far as I would act, dead men tell no tales.
If someone has a phony deed or rental agreement it is no longer considered trespassing. Police consider it a civil matter and toss it to the courts.
Never call the police in these cases apparently.
If they had a lease agreement yes
That thought makes me smile bigly
At one time, you could shoot a horse thief. A house is only one letter off and arguably more important than a horse.
The same thing happened with hiring illegals. Back in the 80s, when I wanted to hire someone, they were required to fill out INS forms and produce 3 forms of ID...two of them with photo. That no longer happens but the laws are still on the books. ‘They’ just keep making more useless ‘laws’.
