A serial squatter was sentenced to 20 years for fraud after she’d been evicted nearly three dozen times and racked up thousands in property damage under multiple aliases in Texas and Colorado for decades.
Heather Ruybal was slapped with the maximum sentence in Dallas on Aug. 31, after she was found guilty July 27 of felony fraud for using a false name and writing a bad check to lease a house in 2023, Denver7 reported.
“This is what she did for a living. Moved into individuals’ homes knowing that she wasn’t going to pay her rent, then exploit the eviction process,” Moore told the outlet, adding that her track record showed she had “no remorse” for her crimes.
Last month, Ruybal was convicted of using her father’s identity to rent the home in Rowlett, Texas, under the alias Heather Schwab, then never paid a dime in rent after moving into the residence, Dallas County Assistant District Attorney Amber Moore said.
Ruybal was also ordered to pay $40,000 in restitution to the victim, Jessica Davis, who rented her the Rowlett, Texas, property through a listing on Zillow.
Ruybal had rented the home under the name “Rayes Ruybal,” the name of her father, according to Davis.
When Ruybal finally moved out after months, Davis said the four-bedroom “dream” home reeked of urine and cigarette smoke and was littered with trash, food and debris throughout.
“Both of the toilets are clogged with mounds of toilet paper and other seemingly fluids,” Davis previously told Fox News.

Sometimes the local MC gives more satisfaction.
It would be nice if the story told us who Moore is.
Three dozen evictions is all it took?
One of my husband’s former coworkers bought a townhome to rent out. A student in TN rented it, paid first, last month and sec deposit and then didn’t pay a penny more. She laughed at him and said she does it all the time, knows the law and he was stuck paying the mortgage until she was evicted. I think it took almost a year as she kept having the case continued. So, he struggled paying two mortgages at once while she lived high on the hog.
I would NEVER be a landlord.
One of the ways squatters are removed quickly is to get a professional squatter working for you to move in
Perp
"Jessica Davis and her husband Colin Davis ultimately lost the home after they were unable to make mortgage payments due to the lost rental income."
My mother in law just moved to assisted living. We have cameras in her house to alert us if someone enters.
And her neighbors are like bulldogs.
I thrive in real estate but I live my life as if all tenants are on the spectrum between this Heather creature, and that maniac in Pacific Heights.
Never rent to residential. NEVER.
There’s treating something like a rented car, there’s beating someone like a rented mule...What do they have in common?
If it’s not theirs, people don’t respect property.
Furthermore the courts tend to favor the poor oppressed tenant over the exploiter landlord.
Swell, Heather’s now on the hook for $40k, don’t hold your breath. For her that’s simply more justification for her next crime.
Heather will be free within a year. Count on it.
She should have just claimed post-partum depression and that she was over-medicated.
