I once was looking for a rental. I saw an advertised property in craigslist for a pretty good price. I saw the property from the outside. The “landlord” claimed he lived in another state and that he could not show it to me. He wanted me to rent it without seeing the inside. It was clearly a scam.

Unfortunately, you cannot display if you have a house for rent or for sale, and you MUST make the house look like it is occupied at all times until the house is rented or sold. This goes for other residential properties as well When a thief knows no one is around or is keeping an eye on the property, this is what can happen. Then the owner(s) are left with evicting the scammers and incurring unnecessary and huge out of pocket expenses. California is one of the worse places when it comes to protecting the rights of property owners, and New York is too!

I honestly don’t know how my parents did it, owning real estate and dealing with tenants. It gives me a headache.

@@TruckTaxiMoveIt No one can watch your property 24/7 if it is vacant and you are advertising that it is. It does not matter if you are local or long distance, scammers only need a small window of time to gain access to your property. They will already have all of the fraudulent documents on hand to say they are a "resident" of the property. The key is to make sure they never get access to the property because the police will automatically say it is a civil matter and therefore, you would have to legally evict them. The only saving grace would be is to have them on video, with very clear footage, showing them breaking in, damaging the property to gain access, and etc. (where they can't use the excuse of saying they locked themselves out), in order to have the police to charge them criminally and to hopefully get them out of your property. Other than that, the owner will be spending thousands in lawyer/court fees, damages to the property, and on other miscellaneous expenses.

Actually, the cops understand quite well & would gladly help if the people in power to change the laws would actually change the laws so they COULD do something to help the owners! But especially in CA, lawmakers are much more concerned with the rights of the criminals & don't seem to care about the rights of law abiding citizens.

Happened to me in Hawaii. The cops are useless and will actually support the tenant more than the owner. Had two of my businesses robbed and broken in to and the cops didn’t do anything. I got into a argument with the person saying they were my tenant and they came and arrested me and threw me in jail for two days. Meanwhile they had more people come over and take advantage. Took me months and thousands of dollars to get them out. Not to mention the stress. At what point can you blame the cops? They need to be held accountable at some point. Meanwhile we go to work and pay taxes on top of taxes on tops of taxes.

I couldn't believe it when the Feds basically said that people couldn't be evicted & they didn't have to pay rent. I think the beltway Princes & Princesses thought that only huge corporations rent properties! If you ever watch a vid of the C-19 rules about evictions/not paying rent & see my moniker, you'll notice that I have always sided with the home owner. Have you ever watched the vid where a home owner in Detroit had a trans female squatting in her house? She claimed to have a lease (of course she did!). So the owner called the news. Their solution? The reporter showed back up in a bathrobe & said that if she could squat, so could he! When the shock wore off, the squatter left for good! Again, I'm sorry if I offended you. You came off as being incredibly hostile. I really am on your side in your situation. Thank you for your service. I hope you came home safely. Keep fighting the good fight Jerry!

With technology and all those smart liberals in power you think they could take all those Ivy League degree training they got and come up with a solution. Like how having an online registry where the tenant and the lease are uploaded to a central database and if the cops show up they simply access your account and check the pictures and names on the lease. If they don’t match then you gotta go. How’s that for a start. When did we get away from thinking our way out of problems?

But, hey, looks like it could have been worse, they could have just moved right in.

That's a foot in the door tactic. This case was resolved quickly because the squatters entered the house without the owner's consent. But if the owner initially invites them (paid or unpaid), they're legally a tenant, and that changes everything. Even if you find a renter or change your mind, if they refuse to leave the only way to get them out is with an eviction. It's supposed to take about a month for a court to order an eviction. But the courts (in California at least) are so backlogged it usually takes about 3 months. And there are various legal delaying tactics they can use to push this to a year or longer. All without paying any rent. In states with strong tenant rights like California, I'd think twice about letting even a homeless friend crash at my house for a while. I'd rather pre-pay for their stay at a hotel, than risk them refusing to leave and being stuck with them for months or more than a year. And there's no way I'd let a stranger live there (for free or for rent) unless I was prepared to fight them in court for over a year if they refused to leave.

The friend picked up a little "peach bum" at the park and both were in the empty house and started trashing the bathroom, living room. We put a stop to it. this is on a quiet, hard to notice cul-de-sac in El Monte (north)). Apparently in 2022 I just got a call from mom's caregiver who lives in a (somewhat) worse area of the city. This is now going on all the time: ANY house empty for a DAY and the squatters/druggies/homeless are IN and getting them out isn't the cops job until there's paperwork. Ouch.

This is a very sad and mess up situation, I remember reading about house squatting many years ago and yet nothing has been done about it. This is a very serious crime but there are still no law created to prevent this. The worst part was whoever that stole your house can remain their and if you bring up a court case it can take forever to solve. There's also a chance you might not even win. I guess calling your local news station was the right move to end this issue, look at how quick they got the house back. One thing is they went back to check on where those thef last live, but wouldn't go back to track down the last owner for confirmation.

To *ASTRATRUSTHQ* I love the work you and so many others members of your team do to shut these people off. I wonder what more we can do to protect our vulnerable citizens from these people? I'm older but have been well trained to be suspicious and know what to do to avoid scamming. But I am appalled at how many people try, and how many forms it comes in. I think we don't do enough to educate the public. Thank you for being a constant source of positivity in my life. Your presence brings joy and light to every moment. 😊

I had a family member have a somewhat similar situation where they had tenants living in their house renting for several months and after a certain point the tenants stopped paying rent. The cops claimed they couldn't do anything and eventually the people moved out after like 4 months, but of course when they left they also left a bunch of holes in the walls where it looked like they were possibly hiding drugs and two pitbulls in the master bedroom that shit all over the carpet and tried to attack my family member when she entered the room. Absolutely zero was done by authorities. Pretty awesome stuff. I wonder if this is a California thing? California seems to favor criminals.

In America, lazy people get rewarded with freebies but hardworking tax payers aren’t recognized by law and have to rely on local media. The law/govt will make sure honest hardworking people pay taxes and enforce penalties on them but the lazy ones are free to do whatever even squat in someone’s home. If the homeowner cuts off their utilities or changes locks, he can get arrested for protecting his own home that he’s paying mortgage on. Crazy country!

Don't be in any hurry, take your time. 2. Work some where for couple of months and quit Unemployment until social security kicks in.

There should be laws that if the owner or an authorized property management company didn't validate the lease, then they are squatters. Whoever is issuing the lease should be required to put a legible printed name as well as the signature. A random scrawl signature can be anybodys kid as far as that goes. Start requiring a driver's license or ID card number from the lease creator or a notary on these "privately issued" leases, where the notary has to keep records of every ID they see for the docs they witness.
