NYC Homeowners Told They Will Be Arrested If They Turn Off Electricity, Water As Squatters Take Over

Townhall ^ | April 07, 2024 | Sarah Arnold

[Mr. Mojo]

The woke city of New York is being overrun by rampant crime, illegal immigrants, and now squatters thanks to a law that turns them into tenants after 30 days.

New York City homeowners are being pushed to financial limits that allow squatters to live rent-free. At the same time, the owners are forced to keep paying electricity and maintenance bills for the apartments.

Under New York City law, anyone who lives in a home or apartment for at least 30 days can claim squatter’s rights, even if they broke into the property without permission from the owner.

Squatters are taking advantage of New York City laws while homeowners go broke.

Several homeowners told CBS that they would be “arrested instantly” if they were to change the locks, evict the squatters, or turn off necessities such as hot water. They are forced to pay for the upkeep of the homes while squatters, many of whom are illegal immigrants, get to live in them for free.

Report home invaders with guns

[Elsie]

Folks in the sticks have GUNS!

[Elsie]

Or sit in a politicians chair...

[Elsie]

Who’s scared of huskies?

Use pit bulls instead!

[Elsie]

or hammer

[Elsie]

The problem is NOT with squatters, but with JUDGES!!

(And, there are a LOT less of them!)

[DeplorablePaul]

Ya know I think that you’re right. If a squatter took over my house and I ejected him with a shot gun, I’m quite sure my neighbors would not say a thing.

[Mark17]

Government of the people by the moochers, for the moochers.

Don’t forget the professional racists too.

[Eleutheria5]

Sub-species of moochers.

[KingofZion]

They just need to hire this guy:

Sign a lease with a specialist, he moves in with his team, squatters are generally gone within a day.

Sad that it has come to this.

[TheGunny]

DO IT!

[moovova]

That's a great thought. But then, I could see the squatters running a garden hose to the neighbor's water spigot to get water, tapping into the neighbor's electrical, maybe even their cablevision. Lookout 3rd world...here we come...

[Elsie]

Mine are too far away to SEE a thing!

[Salgak]

You can shoot the power meter from a distance, and under concealment. With the law stacked for squatters, you need all the deniability you can get 😜

[LibsRJerks]

I don’t think we’ve ever seen this in history, or have we? It appears our civilization is undoubtedly unraveling.

[Elsie]

I don’t think we’ve ever seen this in history, or have we?

Sure we have!

But the folks who lived here believed the Great White Father would honor his treaties.

[Sam Gamgee]

OMG. This is not an onion article? Squatter rights? How nice. Maybe we can send someone to stay at the Obama’s house.

[Sam Gamgee]

And the homeless class is being coddled by our governments.
