The ridiculous phrase “squatters rights” should be applied only to people putting their mark on SF sidewalks.
This is totally out of control. If I was a neighbor I would make life miserable for these squatters.
The owner of said property must show a right to the property. I’m so glad I moved away from NY and CT 50 years ago.
I’ve thought about renting out my home while I do some traveling but because I live in NYS it’s become to risky.
When Judges and Lawyers become victims of these Thefts of Personal Property, it will end, not until.
Time for Americans to start putting the Second Amendment to work doing what it was written to do. Squatters try to grab my house they better pack a big lunch and bring caskets they’ll fit in.
Veep
It’s the goal, Ben. Everyone needs to realize that. America is bad and has to be destroyed so the “good” people can remake it into their utopia.
an owner having to PROVE ownership? how about a name on the TAX BILL! in the old day you only had to “know a guy”. a cottage industry is awaiting...”Saul’s squatter removal service” has a certain ring to it. bottom line though folks...this is what the majority of voters wanted so either get involved or deal with it. remember friends...”elections have consequences then everyone suffers the consequences”. Smokey bear says “Only YOU can prevent democrats”.

Relatives in the Midwest and Southwest see and hear about Squatters Rights on a regular basis.
Depending on the county/city Squatters Rights can happen in a week in parts of California.
I have a squatter. 10 years of no rent from that apartment... and they say rents are too expensive in NYC.
My lawyer says, after 30 days they are no longer considered squatters. I was too furious to listen to what they were called after 30 days.
Seems house sitting might be a profitable business venture there.
“America will be ‘destroyed from within’ if law-abiding citizens aren’t protected”
That’s the intent.......what do you think “build back better” means? 🤷
The absolute cornerstone of civilized society is property rights. All else stems from the ability to own solid assets. You might argue freedom of speech or gun rights, and they’re related, but not the block holding the whole wall.
Yesterday I bought five hundred feet of copper wire at Lowes. It was locked up and the clerk carried it to the cash register and waited while I paid for it. When I asked why he said that people would just walk in and walk out with it. They’re doing that all the time with almost everything. When I started working my first job in 1971 was in a store. Even though it was a bad neighborhood the amount of theft was pretty low. Right now, I think all the stores in that area have shut down due to theft. Our government is no longer protecting property rights because, it turns out that owning property is just white privilege. We know where this philosophy leads by looking at Detroit and any Democratic stronghold. Yet, here we are, allowing our entire civilization to hit the dumpster because of “racism.”
The police can’t arrest people unless there’s a law behind the arrest.
For some insane reason these squatters are being treated as if they were none paying tenants. That’s not the case. It would have made more sense to treat them as buglers.
Best thing to do is WRITE NEW LAW COVERING SQUATTERS SO THE POLICE CAN ARREST AND REMOVE THESE PEOPLE. UNTIL THEN THEY’LL BE TREATED AS NON PAYING RENTERS - WHICH IS NUTS.
I read the other day that a landlord had a renter who was way behind on the rent and he was having trouble evicting them so he just moved into the house with them. After a short while they left. I thought that was an interesting approach.
If you rent an AirBnB for 30 or more days, the guest becomes a tenant. He can stop paying rent and you need to go through the eviction process.
Or if you have a house-sitter for 30 or more days. Or even a non-paying guest.
someone told me once that if you live out of town a bit a squatters rights only extend as far as the boom on a backhoe. wasn’t sure at the time what to make of that.
