Squatters are a huge problem. My Uncle (may he RIP) inherited my grandparent's home when they both passed. He lived 60 miles away so could not monitor the property daily. Squatters not only moved in, but would bully him when he came anywhere near *his* property. The police or law was not on his side. Long story short, he got some gangsta guys he knew to go over there to remove the squatters. It's unfortunate that it took violence and a beat-down, but they would never have left otherwise.

It's up to adults to methodically put leading an exhaustively prepared life first as I do.

So ofcourse the home owner can kick them out but the issue is that the owner must kick then out as a tenant which is long and expensive .so the owner just happens to lose out.

No most of these kinds of squatters aren't actually protected by the law. Some very specific conditions have to be met for somebody to be protected from eviction. The cops are just too lazy to do anything about it. Cops hate being forced to do real work which is what dealing with squatters is. It's messy, unpleasant, difficult, time-consuming, and potentially dangerous. That ticks off pretty much every check box on the list of crimes cops will avoid dealing with at all costs. You wouldn't believe some of the things I've personally seen cops do to avoid having to do their jobs up to and including making threats to the VICTIMS of the crime. The first incident where the cops threatened the victims with retaliation involved a friend of mine, an old German man, whose house was broken into and robbed by some neighbors living a few houses down the street. He saw them with some of the stolen items and when he insisted that the cops should go and at least talk to the thieves they outright threatened him by insinuating that he should think twice about what he was saying or "maybe we will report this as you perpetrating a suspected insurance scam." The second incident was when my sister's upper-middle-class neighborhood had a 3am drive-by shooting and she and a load of neighbors reported it to 911 and the cops never even bothered to show up at all. In the end, my sister contacted the local news about it and it was like she kicked over a hornet's nest after that. She got a load of weird thinly veiled threats from various police contacts after that. There were two more incidents where the cops simply flat-out refused to do anything but they at least didn't stoop to making threats to the victims for suggesting otherwise. One involved a violently mentally ill man pounding on an old lady's apartment door while screaming death threats at her for over an hour straight. Multiple people reported the ongoing incident including a buddy of mine who was the old lady's neighbor. His kids were terrified. The cops finally decided to grace everyone with their presence two hours later only after learning the guy had finally given up and wandered off. They spent ten minutes filling out their police report, and then it was case closed, job well done. No follow-up despite the old lady knowing who the guy having the violent psychotic episode was and where he lived. The second incident involved a murder which I won't go into since it will get this comment erased by youtube. It was by far the worst of the incidents and it resulted in the death of an innocent woman.

*From what I can gather,* the key is not to initially go through the courts where squatters can claim rights. The successful counters seem to be to stop all utilities and block their restarting, monitor the home, wait until they leave, quickly move everything to the curb, change the locks, and install a battery security system and cameras. The owner's claim is that the property was empty with no utilities, the items moved to the curb were abandoned by the previous tenant or dumped garbage. This puts it on the squatter to prove the owner is lying and they have some rights to occupancy, even though there was no utilities and nobody home at the time their items were removed, while law enforcement adheres to the current status of the property - vacant.

He tried that. His mother called the utilities and demanded the utilities be shut off as she was no longer occupying the house and was told by all the utilities that they couldn't do that as long as people were occupying the house. She and her son, who became the squatter buster, explained that the people didn't have a lease or rental agreement and they were squatting and living there for free and that his mother was still getting the bill and was being forced to pay for thieves. They said, not our problem

Something bizarre… I think after several neighbors calling the cops, the police finally found drugs one visit and were able to kick them out. But man, it took forever for something to happen.
