Nothing. Not a damn thing.

They could change the locks in 10 minutes and you’d be out of a house......................

I live in a rural neighborhood. The Sheriff gives trespassers the bum’s rush, as it should be.

It’s worth a million because the property tax man said so.
Next year it’ll probably be worth 2 million... because property taxes are needed to feed the illegals.

Why are laws against trespass no longer enforced?

Yeah, I understand that, but it isn’t worth a quarter of that in my eyes. Besides, I don’t like the location at all. 🙂

It should be legal for a Homeowner to just walk in to their HOME and blast all intruders without question.

Disagreements about rent, it makes sense that it should go to court.

But how is this not simply trespassing if the squatters have zero evidence they were even allowed on the property.

Mail is not good evidence since anyone can change their address and have mail sent anywhere they want in days. Right now someone out for vacation for 2 weeks (or vacant for sale) can have property stolen simply by a squatter sending mail.

This is antiquated law and should not be this way.

The Squatters have the system down pat.

They produce fake leases and papers to attest to their ‘ownership’ of the property and the cops can’t do a thing. They say it’s a ‘civil’ matter for the courts to decide and not their problem.

The actual homeowner is at a disadvantage.

The courts system is slow and expensive to hire lawyers to file cases.

The squatters know this and they have all the time in the world.

File appeal after appeal after appeal and they could be there for years. Some are.

One case I read about, the squatter actually SOLD the property and it was all perfectly legal....................
