You’d be surprised how far squatter’s rights go, even to the point of a filing Quit claim deed making themselves the owners.
—”You’d be surprised how far squatter’s rights go,”
A guy I worked with, known at work as the ‘Land Baron’, had about half a dozen rental properties.
He had a deadbeat tenant...
The first major winter storm and he stopped by and threw a brick through the picture window and shut off the gas. Said it broke his heart to smash the window.
They were gone in a few days.
He said that in Cook County it takes forever for an eviction and costs $$$, the window was cheaper and faster.
Might be difficult in sunny California?
