A Kentucky homeowner was forced out of his house after his 'friends' moved into his garage while they fixed their broken-down car and then they refused to leave.
'I was just trying to be kind', said homeowner Daniel Toma after he allowed a friend, Amy Davis, and her boyfriend, Tyler Sencuk, into his home in Louisville, Kentucky.
The pair were visiting him during the summer when their car broke down. He offered his garage as a place for them to stay while they worked on it.
'Working on the car for days in the driveway, I didn't want to throw them out on the street. I was trying to be kind,' he said.
But in mid-July, the couple brought a mattress into the garage, set up a Spectrum box and then changed the locks. They eventually started getting mail and refused to leave, telling Toma they had 'squatter' rights.
Toma, however, received no rent payments, the couple had no lease, and the homeowner didn't want them there.
'I asked them to go, my roommates asked them to go, they wouldn't leave.'
'We tried to tell them to leave.'
Around Labor Day, Toma put up a 30-day eviction notice which further escalated tensions among the tenants.
Sencuk and one of Toma's roommates got into a fight, resulting in Sencuk filing for an emergency protective order against Toma.
Once this was granted, Toma was forced to stay 500 feet away from them or his house, reported Fox 19.
But rather than Sencuk being thrown out, Toma was told he had to go.
The protective order claimed Toma was Sencuk's roommate. He had told the judge he did pay rent in the form of 'maintenance' and the judge took his word for it.

He and dozens of squatters could squat in the judge’s home.
I bet the judge has a much nicer house they can squat at
This judge needs a new roomie. A bit of paint and cleanup in their garage should be sufficient rent for a few months, right?
Here’s hoping he gets rid of them and has an airtight alibi.
I’d nail the doors shut and burn the house down before I’d allow this in my house..
There is a duty to rebel against tyrannical, immoral law and court rulings. Squatting is a no-brainer when it comes to its illegality. Technicalities of the legal system allow them to stay where they are, but those technicalities spit in the face of God-given, or natural, law to be safe in one’s privacy and property.
I’ll never understand why people tolerate squatters. Seriously. There are ways, always have been.
“Possession” in 9/10th of the law, so they say.
If I were him I would have tossed their stuff out on the driveway after having the police tow away the car they were working on.
We need strong “tresspass” laws to help homeowners get rid of the scourge of squatters defended by judges who ought to be impeached.
A friend once told me that if you dig the hole first, it shows premeditation.
When did Louisville get ripped out of Kentucky and plopped down in California?
The formerly sane states are afflicted with California Disease.
Should have immediately contacted the police and reported them for trespassing the moment they stayed more than a day.
We have become naïve and forgotten that evil knows good people will accept way to much before we will take appropriate action in response. Evil uses that delay to entrench itself and further such abuses and destruction.
“squatter ‘friends”
Nope
People have lost their sense of self-worth. I’d bet this person is heavily bound to social media and the opinions of others.
The word is ‘No’ - and the ugly words and reactions of people to the word ‘No’ and all it means is actually THEIR problem. Folks need to stop taking on the personal problems of others.
Even Christians can say ‘No’ - believe it or not.
This is happening all over the country, not just in Commiefornia.
Notice the mail flipped his photo because “faith” might be triggering.
The trick is to dig it extra deep, and put something non-incriminating down about six feet. That looks like all there is in the hole. Y’know, I’ve heard. ;^)
One should always know a guy who knows a guy who fixes things.
Cellphones do that.
I don’t know why................
