In today's episode we yet again dive into the squatter situation that seems to keep coming up, often times in California, and we look at the story of Flash Shelton who has found a very unique way to get rid of squatters. Flash had squatters at his mother's house last year, and he came up with a plan to get them out by squatting with the squatters. It's a very interesting angle and strategy, but it worked!

Squatters rights came out of a congressional compromise in the 1800s. All 50 states are required to allow squatters, including "adverse possession" titles after so many years of occupancy. The actual laws vary by state. That's where the squatter laws came from.

[@DaSmoothClutch]

@@lordchaa1598 right! I later looked it up and I wasn't too far off, but it wasn't an unreasonable law back then imo, but in 2024 if I leave my house unattended for a bit it doesn't mean that I've abandoned my house, especially if I own it outright or currently paying a mortgage

[@russellmania5349]

@@DaSmoothClutch My question is why do they need a bill to deal with squatters? Why can't the police just use decrement and discretion to figure out who is telling the truth. The home owner can provide a copy of the lease and if it's notarized thats even better. They can also provide utility bills, Title, and even proof of hone owners insurance to the cops. More than likely your next door neighbors can even vouch for you and confirm that you live there and that they never seen the squatter before. If it's out of the cops league then they could have a detective sent to your house to investigate the situation right away.

[@guestmatejek9029]

Because the police are not judges who interpret the law. Police enforce the laws. Police departments probably do not have resources to assign detectives to every alleged squatter scenario. Squatters by squatting become residents who therefore have rights under existing landlord tenant laws. New legislation would disambiguate legal tenants from squatters.

[@Rad_Brad813]

@@lordchaa1598 no. squatters rights and tenants rights are one and the same. They are there because this is a civil matter, not criminal. Cops are not judges, so if the squatter forged documents (which they almost always do)the police have no choice but to believe the documents, even if you are there and have the actual documents. Criminal charges for theft or trespassing can/will not be filed until after the civil case is done. Squatters rights don't actually exist, its just tenants rights rebranded for the situation, its slang in a sense.

Squatters can, (and do), produce rental agreements. Fake or not, cops are not judges in determining the validity of a rental agreement. This would fall under the jurisdiction of a civil court of law - which requires the homeowner to sue. The "squatter's rights" are actually tenant rights until it is determined by a civil court of law that the rental agreement is invalid. This process could take thousands of dollars and months and months as they secure lawyers, file documents, and wait for the court date.

Change what laws ? You don't even know do you ? So how could you say who all is in agreement ? But for starters , changing the laws about adverse possession would not solve problem one with these devious minded people who search out and move into what they view as easy pickens . Although it would probably be good to work on a national list of reference to then be able to prove someone is guilty of serial squatting and had the mens rea it took to do it . I've been thinking one way property owners could protect themselves would be to publish an add in a news paper , or some other public notice instrument . To say they would not rent / lease or let someone habitate in said property without such n such documentation from this date . Which would then help alleviate the courts doubt on there being an oral agreement or implied lease . But simply taking an active interest in your property while vacant and having a good report with the neighbors would be a great line of defense against the breaking and entering / trespassing moment .

Yes, but back then, they could only occupy. The new 2024 laws in NY, Oregon, Washington, etc. say that they own your home after squatting for 30 days. They can literally sell your house after proving that they have been illegally occupying it for only 30 days. And you can't do anything legal to kick them out in less than 30 days. Imagine how many more squatters that will motivate? And they won't be leaving the house to go to work, they'll just show up with 30 days worth of rations and camp out until its theirs. Then they'll sell and repeat the process. Why would anyone do anything else for a living?

I’ve heard of some people, even a few people I knew of in Tennessee, who had squatters get in their house when they went away for a business trip… Do you know how they got the squatters out after their bank and the government wouldn’t help them in even when they went to get papers they refused to allow them to evict them … They just stopped paying their mortgage and their property taxes and the utilities even though they were told they weren’t allowed to stop those …. The house closed because why pay for something you’re not allowed to be living in?! They saved the money they were paying for those things to put away to be able to buy a house outright and start all over because they were gonna have to whether they went to court and paid the money so they decided to stop going to court and just save the money from the mortgage they were already paying…. Took a couple years, but it got them out because the bank sure as hell isn’t gonna let anybody stay in there once they take possession of it… It’s odd to me that a bank would be willing to help you get back your investment because once the house is foreclosed on, usually those tenants will destroy the house …. Which makes it less valuable than it was when you were living in it.. Apparently we have a problem of people not caring about what’s best in the long run and just care about immediate catering to what looks good at the moment….

Normal people sell everything they can so they can pay their rent or mortgage plus they start looking for something smaller or less expensive that they can afford.

She’s a straight up CRIMINAL and the only reason she was being sort of nice was because he had got the upper hand and she didn’t want her furniture given away to others. She’s ok with breaking in and stealing a house from somebody else but not ok with her stuff being given away to others. If you watch the whole video of this, she never really admits that she’s did something really wrong in breaking into the house and squatting, she just plays the victim most of the time and only says “she let things get out of hand” when she’s trying to negotiate more time to get her stuff out.

@@Real.Estate.ReportMy company has done this type of work for the last 4 years as a branch of my Private Investigation Company. I'm pretty sure Flash got the idea from us as I remember talking to him a while back and he asked a lot of questions. After I told him to check his state laws but most states will not kick ANYONE out who has a legally signed lease I remember hearing about his situation. It seems as if Flash has gotten kind of "soft" since his first deal when he kicked the squatters out of his mother's house. I suppose he is a bit afraid of getting sued or hurt. We go in with 6-8 big guys. We just march right into the home and tell the squatters we have a legally signed lease and we are taking over. They can easily see that we are all armed. Then we go into the bedrooms they are using and we "claim them" for our own use and throw their stuff out into the main living area. Then we install wireless cameras (for our own safety against being accused of illegal things) and we crank up the music really loud. We also set up "party lights" aka high-wattage strobe lights in the areas the squatters have been relegated to. We tell them they need to watch out at the parties we will be hosting starting that night because they get huge and out of control. Some of the guys that come to them have been accused of SA but never convicted LOL. At that point, 90% of the squatters start gathering their stuff up and leave. We have had a couple that lasted up to 12 hours and only two who lasted longer than that. One made it 23 hours and another made it 29 hours. We keep track of our success record for advertising and pride reasons. We are 137-0 against squatters. We do NOT break any laws but we do give the idea that we might. We have been known to bend a few. We also alert law enforcement before we go to a property and they always want to see the videos of how we do it LOL. By doing it this way and with our successful track record, IF the cops have to come, they are always on our side. We also do not hesitate to call CPS if we feel there are children in danger and often we tell the squatters with kids to have them go outside to play while we get "settled in". We don't want children to be traumatized. One of my Investigators adopted 3 kids from a squatter addicted to crack a couple of years ago. She willingly gave them up to foster care and also gave up her parental rights. We will always help squatters secure housing if they ask and act reasonably, especially if they have kids. I have even "housed some of them" in a guest cabin on my property for a period of time. But I do warn them about bad things happening if they try squatting lol. Most of the squatters are just losers looking for a free pass on housing so we don't help them at all. We have only had a handful of times where things got hairy and it turned physical. We called the cops right away and with our video we were able to charge them with assault and of course, they got taken to jail which means they are gone from the home.

Just an FYI for anyone who’s ever in a situation where they have squatters: 1-When calling the cops don’t say “there are squatters in my home” that’ll 90% of the time make them hesitate to intervene as they would most likely say “this is a civil matter you have to go through the legal eviction process” 2-Call the police and state “there is a burglary in progress or an intruder in my home” 9xs outta 10 they’ll respond with urgency ready to investigate the crime as such. 3-If you go through the eviction proceedings and the squatter won’t budge remember if they have “squatters rights” so do you with that being said like Flash Shelton move in and make them as uncomfortable as possible (unless you feel it’s too dangerous of course) 4-DO NOT disconnect the electricity or water unfortunately that is illegal in spite of them being there illegally they actually still have rights (unfortunately) 5-If you have a rental property or unoccupied house always have someone check on it regularly and even if you go there sometimes to hang out just to make it appear occupied never leave it unattended for long periods of time that is a squatters dream! 6-If unfortunately you do encounter this f’d up situation DO NOT confront them alone even if you have a legal weapon always get law enforcement involved and document everything!

[@zebnemma]

Yeah I was also thinking that if you are truly that desperate and also happen to find an abandoned house that is 100% abandoned(like clear signs that nobody has been there for decades, house is half falling apart, leaves and dirt on the inside of the house etc). Then it hurts nobody if a squatter stays there. But obviously it's not a good idea to go to a house where they know has an owner and be like "ey you moved out for 1 month so it's ours now". Ehhhhhhh the fuck? What is the thinking process there??? They can clearly see the house is not ACTUALLY abandoned by just optics alone.

[@EmptyZoo393]

Part of the reason for squatters' rights was to prevent people from forming up a posse and violently evicting folks, getting things to go through the legal system. Folks get their property back, the sheriff is the guy showing up to escort the squatters off the property, nobody gets hurt. All of that depends on the legal system functioning properly. When the courts take months to get to the case and the police won't do anything, that's when it really breaks down. Unfortunately, this Squat the Squatters approach might be the best option for a while. The big issue will be when it overlaps with gang issues and you've got an armed group inside of the house, rather than just a couple of entitled bums.

Because of squatters’ rights in Spain for example, property owners who plan to be absent from their property will actually go to the extreme precaution to remove windows and doors and fill them in with mortared concrete blocks because even bars on windows won’t keep out a determined squatter. Also, there are “Flash” type guys you can hire to remove the squatters. When squatters leave to get groceries or go to work or whatever, the guard at the door and will not let them back in. One by one, they are eventually removed because the guard does not allow deliveries to cross the door and nobody gets back in. It’s much faster and less expensive in the long run than going to court to have the squatters removed.

Whatever. I don't see how that would solve the problem, what makes you think they'd pay rent either?

[@amandasmith7212]

What does him dumping his family have anything to with squatters.

[@Chris-wn9hi]

My parents used to go away for the winter months. They had an alarm system, a plow driver, automatic lights, a friend who came by and checked on the house, and then my family would come every weekend and stay. It's unbelievable what homeowners have to do to keep squatters from illegally overtaking their home, because getting them out is a legal nightmare. It shouldn't be this way.

[@theral056]

You shouldn't have to deal with such people legally in the first place. They have no regard for the law so why take the hard path. Most people will have extralegal solutions either in their direct friendship circle or via a friend's circle. No squatter will remain willingly in an unsafe environment for long. People are way too respectful and kind towards people that are neither of those things

There is 15.1 million vacant homes in America and 600,000 homeless u are being lied about the housing crisis. U are being scammed and this is black rock propaganda. Squatters have been around forever but the moment Blackrock has trillions in property value all of sudden its a problem lmao u fell for the propaganda

[@helenaroman1543]

I would like to see the Netflix story on this. Hope they make one!

It’s like getting a cat to chase out a mouse then a dog to chase out the cat 😂

[@kyles5513]

That guy is my hero. I can't belive people actually do this.

Not in all states

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

Charlie LeDuff had a segment on a local Detroit news network about a decade ago where he was doing the same thing. It was called “Squatting on the Squatter”, you can find clips of it on KZbin.

[@ncrtrooper1782]

Keep squatting legal :3

[@bakervinci163]

If I go on vacation and someone is in my home when I get back, I’m not calling the cops

[@Eye_4_An_Eye]

yup. i read u loud n clear *wink*

[@dewfall56]

The laws are creating vigilantes

[@czntrm]

If the cops would do more than come to the scene and do paperwork, I'd be more inclined to call them for help.

[@andybricks576]

I Don't blame you, 'cops don't care about anyone but themselves anyway.

[@JohnnyTromboner]

"I came home to find burglars in my home and they forced me to defend myself" really does seem to be the better option until more states follow Florida's example on this.

[@HinderGoD35]

Props to this man. Cunning and pretty damn brave lol .

[@TheeHuntress]

'Good lady; hard times??'🧐 I am quite sure that there are plenty of better options than STEALING someone's house. I am so proud of him taking up for his mother, and doing his research to do it according to the silly laws that could have possibly landed him in jail ❤

[@joesmith8701]

it use to be worse in the U.K over hear if u squated in a home for 12 or more years you would become the legal land owner as hear in london we have rich foreign investors so this has happend in multi million pound homes

[@shamrockshore6308]

​@@joesmith8701Hear, hear.

[@daddyrabbit835]

Yeah, the last is a POS. Not sure what this guy is talking about.

[@jeannes3280]

I agree willing to hit people .. hard times? How do they have so much nice stuff

[@gregsayles9253]

The so called judges & "law-makers" need to have these Squatter's Squat On Them!--That Will Change It 😅

[@latonyalee7821]

DeSantis just gave the rights back to homeowners this week here in Florida.
