Hey California, having a problem with squatters? Well, the free market has provided an answer, once again.
Introducing the "Squatter Squad."
According to the company's website, their business is going into your property where squatters may have taken up residence and do what's necessary to remove them:
We offer fast and effective squatter removal and prevention services throughout Southern California.
Our job is to save our customers from all of the wasted time, money, stress, and headaches that come from squatters overtaking your property.
"Squatter Squad" makes it clear that they're not an "eviction service." In truth, they're much faster:
Squatter Squad is a one-of-a-kind business in Southern California. We are not an eviction service. We have our own proprietary process for getting squatters out fast. Going through the eviction process can stretch into weeks and months, costing you time and money, while at the same time the squatters are most likely damaging your property, causing even more anguish and expense. Below is a list of our specific services:

YES, More Of This 👏🏻
In California squatters are taking over people’s properties so this company called Squatter Squad is coming in and REMOVING THEM 🇺🇸
If they don’t want to come out & prove they’re on the lease, they’ll rip the doors off the property and force them out

Squatters have become an increasing problem all around the nation, especially as illegal aliens storm our border and take up residence on properties. Some states have laws that protect squatters.
The "Squatter Squad" isn't the only game in town. California's squatter problem is bad enough that other businesses have opened up. According to CBS News, a man named Flash Shelton takes his own approach to driving out squatters for property owners:
Affectionately known by many as "The Squatter Hunter," Shelton gives squatters a taste of their own medicine as he looks to drive them out of the homes they've taken over without any real threat of legal consequence.
"All I'm doing is becoming a squatter and flipping this process on them," Shelton said. "I figured if they could take a house, I could take a house."
...
"I'm not going in and I'm not hurting anyone. I'm not kicking them out, I'm not throwing them out," Shelton said.
Instead, he's turning the tables, forcing those squatters to go to court in order to fight to get the property for themselves, as opposed to the homeowner having to go to court to get them out.
...
He makes his way into homes occupied by squatters, squatting along side them until he can force them to leave. He brings cameras, recording every moment as he creates as many minor nuisances as he can until they get fed up with him.
Squatters aren't just a nuisance, they can be very dangerous and they need to be evicted from private residences for the safety of both the property owner and the neighbors. With blue state laws making it difficult to do this, it's good to see that there are services that know how to work the system and see to it that squatters are removed safely and efficiently.
I’m pretty sure, Dat’s Wasis!
There’s probably good money in that, but somebody needs to check to make sure that the same people kicking the squatter’s out, haven’t been part of the fraud that put them there in the first place.
The market place always works if you let it............................
Do their services include a one way ticket to Martha’s Vineyard or Point Nemo, your choice?
In the old days you’d just go to Don Vito and say, “Hey, Godfather, I got a problem...dese guys are putting pineapple on pizza, too.”
Very good point!
Why not ask the cartels to do it for you?
I’m picturing Fat Tony from The Simpsons saying, “Pineapple, you say? I find this most disturbing.”
No but they do include a one way ticket to a lawsuit for wrongful eviction against the property owner, and maybe a one way ticket to the county jail for the squad members. I absolutely agree that the eviction process needs a major overhaul and having nothing but sympathy for the property owner but the unlawful detainer statutes in CA are an express repudiation of self help at common law. Particularly in the libs counties—- and we have tons of those here in CA- these people are playing with fire
How much you wanna bet that within a few days that company will no longer exist. And the owner will be handcuffed and frog marched straight to jail. The communist regime will not let this stand. That is part of their planned strategy agenda. Remember, y’all will own nothing and will be happy.
How do you wrongfully evict someone who never entered in to an agreement with the property owner?
I’d be tempted to contact a local outlaw motorcycle club to see if they could provide any assistance in peacefully restoring possession to me.
Of course, that Sicilian lady in New York probably didn’t have to go far to seek assistance.
That was satisfying to watch.
I understand some squatters in CA are now subletting out rooms and garages they’re not using at the moment.

Are you kidding me?! How can this be happening in the U.S.?
As is said I don’t agree with it. Even squatters you have to file an evocation action. In ca if the purpose had permission to occupy, it’s unlawful detainer. If they didn’t have permission, forcible detainer
Nah there has to be a faster easier way to eject the squatter from a house. Dragging it out in the courts through the normal eviction process takes far too long.
If it happened to me I would find a way to get my dog inside the house. They would exit the building if they still could. I mean it’s his house also and he’s just doing his job.
