It is every homeowner’s nightmare: Leave your property unattended and come back to a squatter infestation. It’s even impacted celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey, who recently saw his London restaurant overrun by intruders.

These real estate pros fought back and won. Here’s how they got rid of squatters: Mohammed Choudhary, a 61-year-old Pakistani immigrant who works in construction, and his business partner Boysin Lorick, 76, originally from Trinidad, were chasing the American dream.

“I came back at the end of the year and there were squatters in all our houses,” Choudhary told The Post. “A man had taken them over. He lived in one, rented out the others and kept the money.”

I wonder if those services that claim to monitor and protect your ownership are useful in these cases and worth the cost. I think one is called ‘Home Title Lock.’

The city/state/fed. government should be protecting homeowners of their property, not ignoring them—them who pay taxes too (more & more & more).

Yes, especially if the squatter claims you consented to rent to them. But someone should come up with a similar service; there must be a way to do it.

Not too deep. Tomatoes need nourishment, just like worms.
