Just netsearch the term “Squatters Rights” to see how insane it has become.
One of my favorite stories of a home owner retrieving his property from a Squatter. This 50 year old’s mother passed away and left him the house. He did not live in it yet, and neighbors informed him that some squatters had moved in. They had even changed the locks!
The two squatters were a mom and her school age child. The owner noticed that they leave every weekday morning, perhaps work and school. So........ One day, he waited until they were gone, and had locksmith change the locks. He hired a few young strong men and put all of the squatters’ stuff out on the driveway. When the squatters arrived ‘home’ they were none too happy. The home owner had brought the title to the house, so the police were called. The police took a look at the title, and said to the squatters “you’re lucky he didn’t just take all your stuff to the dump.”
The home owner must be a Christian. He said that the driveway stuff could remain for a day or two.
Probably time for the squatters to find their next victim.
He told her she had to leave. She complained and said with all of this stuff it would take her a couple of days to move. So he agreed to give her two more days.
Well, she didn't leave, and the courts told the guy that he allowed her on his property. And now it becomes a tenant right's issue on the terms of how long she can stay. I think he finally got her off the property after going through all of the process after several months.
He said if he had told her to leave, she was trespassing, and I am calling the police if you don't leave immediately then she would have had to leave. But instead he wanted to be a nice guy....
