The woke city of New York is being overrun by rampant crime, illegal immigrants, and now squatters thanks to a law that turns them into tenants after 30 days.
New York City homeowners are being pushed to financial limits that allow squatters to live rent-free. At the same time, the owners are forced to keep paying electricity and maintenance bills for the apartments.
Under New York City law, anyone who lives in a home or apartment for at least 30 days can claim squatter’s rights, even if they broke into the property without permission from the owner.
Squatters are taking advantage of New York City laws while homeowners go broke.
Several homeowners told CBS that they would be “arrested instantly” if they were to change the locks, evict the squatters, or turn off necessities such as hot water. They are forced to pay for the upkeep of the homes while squatters, many of whom are illegal immigrants, get to live in them for free.

Some COUNTIES will let property taxes go 3+ years unpaid before seizing the property.
Squatters — like rioters, looters and arsonists — should be shot on sight.
Anyone who stays in NYC gets what they deserve.
The law says you aren’t allowed to stop paying. Take the food out of your children’s mouths to pay for squatters’ utilities, the mortgage and maintenance.
Why can’t the owner and a few husky friends also squat there?
Extra Pro Tip: Make friends with some hard pipe-hittin crackheads and pay them 100 each.
I think i saw that movie- Snakes on the Plains
So what’s to keep you and a bunch of large friends from squatting on the squatters?
Remember when the musical “Rent” was seen as somehow saving Broadway—and therefore the City?
Clearer eyes were reconsidering that over a decade ago:

But still the City itself seems not to have learned from it.
These Liberal Blue States are nothing but inspired by Evil.
I would let them arrest me.
I wonder what percentage of the victimized homeowners have voted “D” their whole lives?
Just Obama redistributing the wealth any way he can tick tock Barack.
👍
And they will keep voting democrat. You reap what you sow.
The “30 days of squatting law” and then you’re considered a tenant is insanity. Of course, if these properties were already occupied by a tenant or an owner this crap would be happening a lot less.
These squatter stories will saturate the news media for at least a decade.
Ain’t murica great?
Easy fix.
**SHOOT** the electric meters. Use a pellet gun.
Martha’s Vineyard, too. Just drop off a family at a time, with tools. . .
How hard is it to to blast open your own door and neutralize the threat? Very in NY I guess.
