I’ve had a friend that dealt with tenants that stopped paying. Got a witness after 30 days overdue and took of the front and back doors 😂😂😂 the delinquents came home raised hell called the cops and we watched them from the surveillance. Cops say it’s a civil matter they can’t take sides. When the owner/ my friend showed up with evidence that they didn’t pay and were rude on txt about it the cops went against them saying but you owe rent you said you didn’t owe 😂😂😂 then they offered to pay on the spot and my friend said nah leave!!! They ended up moving out stat!! you have to be ballsy and put your foot down. see how shes laughing like its funny

Yes, they do need to change. Anyone that thinks it's ok to leave a house abandoned should lose it. Period. You can't just leave it for a million years then come out of no where and expect it to be there. What if it caught on fire? What if it started to break down and the foundation is falling on the neighbors house? It's all kinds of dangers with just leaving your house so why make your neighbors deal with that? It's very irresponsible and they should lose the property. I used to be on the owners side until I witnessed this in my neighborhood. Mf trying to come from down South so many years later and upset that water damage destroyed the whole house. Well, you wasn't around dummy. There are other things that can happen to your house aside from a squatter. Then this lady just goes back down South And do nothing to help her neighbor. That water went on to his side as well but he was always living in his house so it didn't tear up the foundation but he still had to spend money for some kind of sealing work. She needs to lose this house. It's a danger. Tf.

....Of course they have. In fact, EVERY single owner of EVERY single property CAN AND ALWAYS HAS been able to simply file eviction. And in the case of a HOMEOWNER, there is almost literally zero cases like this, since a HOMEOWNER would have to actually INVITE the people to live there first, in direct contrast to the completely unrelated situation of a mere owner of a property.

[@maryparks5740]

There should be laws to stop this from happening. Squatters know how to get around the legal system. That girl is playing the victim. She's no victim. Bottom line is if you don't own the property and you're not paying rent you are a squatter. She admitted when you don't pay rent she's a squatter.I have that same problem going on right now.

[@debrakleid5752]

Why is it the squatters have more rights than the actual homeowners. This pisses me off and the laws need to change. Also fed up where the squatters claim to be the actual victims. There was one squatter who took the home of someone who died and pulled this same stunt. After he was thrown into jail the squatter sued the family for a lot of money for things like mental anguish and so on and when the homeowners didn’t show up for their court date the squatter WON his lawsuit. When the homeowners went to a local news station they did some digging just to find out that the papers served to the homeowners for their court date was “served” at the courthouse and not to the homeowners and the man who said he served the papers was actually in jail at the time so the homeowners were NEVER notified of the lawsuit. The judge was pissed and reversed his original decision and if I remember correctly it was ruled that the squatter isn’t allowed to file any lawsuits without the courts permission. Absurd!

If she isn't paying rent she can use that money to move. I always say if this ever happened to one of my rental properties I would definitely install security cameras with notifications inside and outside of the home. If I didn't have cameras I would stake out my own home and wait until everyone is gone, break into my own home have a lease/deed on hand. I'd quickly change the locks and have a crew there to move that mess out. If I see any documents I'm shredding them immediately especially if it's a copy of the fake lease they are using. I know this is a lot but it will work faster than what the judge will do. In this lady's case I would say oh I didn't know it was hers I thought it was items that was abandoned when my mother passed away. I'm grieving, goodbye.

Get as many people as possible to help. They probably have minimal junk. 5) if squatter comes back with police, you show you own property. Nobody was living in there except friends people known to you. The squatter is crazy/on drugs/delusional and attempting a break in. If they try to take you to court (they won't) it's your word against them. 6) protect property with house sitter cameras so more squatters don't move back in. in.

Ben - a realtor needs keys to show the home. She’s in another state, she did everything right. Have a realtor who also has a background in property management (like me) to help her so this doesn’t happen.

Right before I saw this I was reading about Kim Foxx and 12 indictments..says it all about chicago..

[@mskiara18]

I know many American citizens are struggling with housing or homelessness, but you don't occupy a home that is not yours. Squatting is illegal.

[@001Catey]

I read in these comments that owners should deal with them on their own, which is a good idea. But because property taxes are so high in chicago owners could miss the next installment, an eviction notice would be issued, the sherif would remove them in 30 days and the property would go up for auction. And if it didn't go back to the rightful owner they could sue the county for negligence. Owners should be sueing the city and county for that now anyway.

[@ronque23]

What I don’t understand is how do they have utilities while squatting in a home that the owner is fighting to reclaim??? There needs to be a special squatters court that can adjudicate these matters on their own docket, outside of regular evictions.

[@62new]

Yes ma'am that's called the "homeboy hookup"...

[@happycook6737]

They just call up utility companies and start service in squatter's name.

[@donnajohnson6062]

They pay those

[@shirleyross6037]

Unbelievable, legal homeowners are not protected by any laws but squatters are protected and not prosecuted. They are responsible for the maintenance, taxes and insurance but none of the benefits of being property owners. Laws need to change for property owners, squatters should never allowed to break into private property and face no consequences.

[@paulawade1446]

why not require all leases to be notarized?

She needs somewhere to go with them chaps (children) lmao . bihhh just ran in a random house with them .instead of not having them if she couldn't afford to house them.

[@SadeWithTheReceipts]

I wish I was related to the homeowner. Because I would get a REAL LEGIT lease from her, sign it, and stake out the place, wait until the squatter leaves, then back in the driveway with my uhaul or whatever, get in some how, even if I have to break in, because the squatter may have changed the locks, and start moving my things in. Put all of her things beside the street, but id it's illegal to do that, then we will all just be loving together and I PROMISE YOU, that she would be begging to move out after living with me. Because I would make it hell! I wouldn't harm the children tho, I am no monster, but this couldn't be my property. Because we would definitely take care of this ourselves. The system sucks tho, at least here in Florida, if they get mail at an address, they legally live there and you would have to legally evict them. That is B.S. Because anyone could send mail to ANY address! SMDH!

[@hotwheel6663]

What about utilities and water isn't it shut off?

[@martymcyourflysdown6872]

A castle doctrine, also known as a castle law or a defense of habitation law, is a legal doctrine that designates a person's abode or any legally occupied place (for example, a vehicle or home) as a place in which that person has protections and immunities permitting one, in certain circumstances, to use force (up to and including deadly force) to defend oneself against an intruder, free from legal prosecution for the consequences of the force used. Justifiable homicide[2] in self-defense which happens to occur inside one's home is distinct, as a matter of law, from castle doctrine because the mere occurrence of trespassing-and occasionally a subjective requirement of fear-is sufficient to invoke the castle doctrine. So basically, “I shot them because I was scared they would kill me in my sleep”

[@Kamala_b]

If the owners are paying property taxes, isn't that enough proof they own the property?

[@sanchezhandymen3444]

My parents have a home that is about 250 miles from me, they live with me now, so we have to go often to go check on the property. I finally let my nephew move in and pays a low rent just to make sure no one messes with the property. The house is less than a mile from the border and we see lots of illegally aliens in the area. I recently came t the conclusion we probably need to put cameras up for sure! the Dali Lama said the more your own the more things you have to dedicate your time to.

[@jessicabailey6792]

It's a shame that squatters can take over a home and occupy it, rent-free, for up to 18 months in some states, at the expense of the actual owners of the property. How or why leasing laws are written to protect THEM is a true mystery to all of us. But, this is happening WAY too often around the country. Don't be surprised if some owner or squatter decides to bring a gun to the party.

[@googleuser2426]

Why do owners play nice to kick out people who dont belong there? But those windows down and throw in mace bombs untill they leave. Victim for the tenent or not, you know its not legal and you wanna stay free anyways!!!! Seriously !

[@susanhurst3292]

This is so shameless, and then she had the nerve to say the owner should have cameras around the house. People just can have nothing now a days without someone wanting it for free!

Have an empty home - immediately lease it to a trust worthy person. Laws need to change. No show at court should lead to immediate removal. Why have people not changed the law? We live in a time where criminals sometimes have more rights than the law abiding citizens. Turn it around.

[@DontDooTooMuch]

Most squatters make up their own fake lease. That's disgusting to do this to hard working people.

[@mayharvey5403]

I think the Law should make it mandatory that the owner should be able to show the intended Tenant a will or the Title Deed showing they are the owner of the house and the Intended Tenant should ve able to check it out before moving into and giving any false document they should be arrested and charge
