PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) -
A Washington man who recently closed on a home in Northeast Portland was shocked to find a family had recently moved in and changed the locks.
Rod Nylund said he learned about the occupants, who he assumes are squatters, last week when a contractor he sent to do work at the home called to tell him it was occupied. Nylund called police and confronted the occupants, but said the officer was unable to do anything about it.

Lock, load and retake!
One would think the squatters could be charged with trespassing.
But where do you place the “remains”? Mulch pit?
High wind, right direction, nighttime? Get rid of squatters. Collect insurance.
Tear gas, flash bangs and every friend/relative he has armed with bats.
Move in on them and make their lives miserable.
Can you imaging if they tried this on people we know? (including ourselves)
Cost of a new door far cheaper than a lawyer and the courts.
Depends on how big the yard is. :=)
Go to the utilities and demand that they shut off the service unless they can provide a valid deed or lease.
if you are the legal owner of the property you are 100% entitled to break your own doors if you want to.
And then everything inside is yours
if they claim they live there while all their stuff is on the lawn then ask them to prove it
remove the front door and the garage door? if it’s his house he an do any maintenance he wants to it.
Hit them hard and fast. Secure transport and sell them into a slavery ring.
Won’t see them around here no more.
Costly and time consuming eviction, legal process.
Fast track in California would be 60 days. Don’t know about Oregon.
I’m thinking that this kind of thing can happen more now because people don’t get traditional copperwire phones hooked up — they use mobiles, and can even watch tv over the internet — like in our neighborhood, both Starbucks and McDonald’s have free wi-fi. So all they need is electric.
“Hit them hard and fast. Secure transport and sell them into a slavery ring.”
May I helpfully suggest we contact the cartels and see if we can sell any organs first?
I couldn’t believe the cooa wouldn’t do anything but from the comments it appears that the house was a rental before this person purchased it and probably the previous renters let someone move in. The police are treating them like renters with a signed. Contract, which obviously they are not. I would break in a window and start moving their stuff onto the lawn. It wouldn’t be breaking and entering since it is my house.
Few tanks of compressed Nitrogen gas, open a crack in a window or and let them sleep in the next morning.
Your friendly local chapter of the Bandidos or Hell’s Angels can make that happen.
You only think you own your house. You don’t really. You just pay for upkeep, insurance and taxes.
If someone wants to waltz in and take what is “rightfully” theirs, well they can and will.
Of course, if they get hurt on “your” property, you will be held responsible.
