Sucks to live in State of Mogadishu aka New York..but bet you this gal voted Democrat so she just needs to suck it up..
By the time she gets that house the squatters will have gutted it, sold what they can and destroyed what they can’t sell or take with them.
After that, they will move on to the next home they will invade and do the same thing again
Welcome to the Progressive Utopia on Earth.
I’d burn it down.
NYC!
Simple solution: move the squatters into the district attorney’s house. Problem solved.
Not much different in California. I’ve read on my local Next Door app of people taking their rooms for rent and ADUs off the market b/c they’re afraid of squatters.
Lots of ADUs going up in my neighborhood - but they’re not for rent, they’re being built for elderly relatives.
There’s a guy in California who specializes in removing squatters. He breaks in and squats with them (with the owners written permission). He sets up cameras and then annoys them. If they leave, he sets their property out on the front lawn. He doesn’t steal it. If they call the cops, he shows them his legal right to be there so they do nothing to him. He annoys them until they leave.
Her mistake, aside from having a news camera crew film her actions, was not handling this the way a true New Yorker would.
First, you hire a motorcycle gang...
The Free State of Florida just fixed this: at the request of the legal owner/lessee, cops can now eject almost anyone from a dwelling that can’t show written proof of ownership or valid written lease contract ...
the Florida law should be a model for legislation in the rest of the 56 states ...
> I wonder who this homeowner voted for.....
NYC. Probably the “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” party.
It’s OK, that’s the way things work in new york now. She has just had her house fined away from her.
I wonder what “crime” they will think up for her.
Typical NY BS, they always protect the criminals. Effing democrats!
Florida has put an end to this BS.....Any state Legislature that doesn’t follow the model there is complicit.
First flood the country with illegal immigrants who are economic migrants. Then have them move into to private property illegally in a communist style takeover because illegals have a right to housing. It’s what’s happening.
It doesn't matter any more in NY than it does in Chicago.
Why do squatters have more rights than tenants? Makes no sense.
And the police should have arrested the squatters for trespassing!
I’ve often thought that a friend of a friend could be contacted that knows someone who knows someone with muscle. Someone who could get those people out. For good.
But then the homeowner would probably be “in debt” to those someones.
But still... better to be tied to wise guys than allow squatters to ruin your home.
Go find a big man with some friends that wants to make $10,000. Give him $5,000 to squat on the squatters and muscle them out. $5,000 when he has moved out.
The NYPD is a force multiplier for the squatters when they do things like this.
