Way back in the early oughts, there was a local story where some immigrants moved into an empty rental house. It took the owner over two years and $$$ to clear them out.
Looking back, that was one of the first times I knew my country was not what I thought it was, and that we were going down.
Seems quaint now.
Worked with a guy whose uncle died and willed him his house and land in rural OK. The coworker flew out to check on it. Migrants had moved in, trashed the house, garbage and cars outside. He returned with a 5 gal can of gas , walked thru the place and lit it on the way back out to his rental car. He dealt with the police and insurance company remotely and settled it.
I know a landlord that rents crappy houses. As soon as they miss a payment he goes in and evicts them himself. He throws all their stuff in a dumpster. Changes the locks.
Those type of people don’t have the resources to sue him and it is cheaper that way anyway.
