In northern California in the 1970`s, many houses were sliding down hillsides after heavy rains.

My friend`s brother had a house-moving company. Under the law if the owner evacuated the in-danger-of-sliding house and took belongings out, it was considered abandoned property.

The brother simply jacked up the house and moved to a lot he had already bought and sold it. It`s still legal, I think.

That is a very wrong law if true.

If I move out of my house, it is considered abandoned and anyone can take it? Even though I am up-to-date on mortgage, taxes, etc? Hard to believe.

A lot of people move out of their homes prior to selling them.

Making easy money from someone else’s misery - your brother sounds like he’s an even bigger prick than my brother. I didn’t think that was possible.
