Squatters are creating significant problems in affordable neighborhood homes, showing a big challenge in enforcing property laws in many U.S. cities. This issue occurs when squatters unlawfully occupy empty homes, refusing to leave, and is becoming a major concern. It has grown so much that it almost feels like a movement, with some people even supporting it. Stories are emerging of legitimate homeowners who find themselves unable to enter their own homes because of squatters who claim to have fake leases. Worse, there are cases where squatters have illegally sold homes they don't own. In our discussion today, we address how these squatters are involved in illegal activities like breaking and entering, fraud, and forgery, but surprisingly, they rarely face legal consequences. The lack of action from authorities, often due to political and bureaucratic issues, only makes the situation worse, leading to long, complicated legal battles to remove squatters. This situation highlights a significant failure in protecting and enforcing homeowners' rights, making it clear that squatters are indeed ruining homes in affordable neighborhoods. It's crucial to find stronger laws and measures to stop squatters from causing such harm.

Here in Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a law that any squatters caught squatting in anyone’s home all the home owner has to do is call the Sheriffs office and they’ll throw the squatters out immediately and they go to jail for trespassing . It’s the law here.

My neighbor has a rental property just south of mine and across the street from her home. Two and a half years ago she was out in the yard and someone (NGO?) stopped and wanted to know about the "abandoned" place across the street. She informed them that it was her rental property and it was not abandoned. They were pretty adamant that if it wasn't rented it must be abandoned. She again informed them that it was her property. They went away but we kept a close eye and she's now rented it.

Get a locked mail box. Squatters try to get mail delivered to a house before they even break in. That way, they show the police that they live there because they receive their mail at the address. Also, make sure the home looks occupied by using timers on lights, hire someone to maintain the yard and make sure neighbors know that no one should be in the house.

I don’t like squatters but I cannot help to think that we live in a country where they make it difficult to get even an apartment. I live in California and here you need to have at least 600 credit score and above, make 3 times the rent (including first and last months rent and deposit to move in), and background checks too. So how in the world can someone get all of that, with Covid, inflation, and the constant Electricity issues here. No it’s not just Enron, still with PG&E now we had so many issues with electricity. How can anyone live with all these conditions?

There’s also rental scams. A scammer pretends to be the home owner, has the person sign a fake lease, pay first/last month’s rent and then move in. This person appears to be a squatter showing their lease, but could actually be a scamming victim. If police quickly remove this person, they’d be homeless - adding insult to injury. So, instead of quickly removing them, I think giving them notice to leave would be better, in case this is a scamming victim who needs some time to find a new home.

Thanks for bringing up this topic! Have you read any research on WHY there’s an uptick in squatting? And you say offhandedly that most squatters are ‘career squatters’-is that a claim backed by research, or just opinion/impression? If the former, does that mean that new squatters are also becoming ‘career’? Is there a relationship between career squatting, unemployment/underemployment, wages-relative-inflation, wages-relative-to-housing, and the housing market? Some more context and investigation of squatting itself would be helpful 😊

The original laws trace back to a time where information is hard to get. property could stay abandoned for years to even decades. And most of the country was undeveloped wildland where especially in the rush eras people would just vanish without a trace. As a traveller you may endup having to abandon your journey or your jsut move into an area and there is nowhere you can purchase except there is a old farmhouse that clearly hasnt been lived in for a decade at least. so you move it. Most people who pass by dont question it, eventually you build up the lot. Then sometime years later a surveyor comes in to audit and finds out that the property your not on is not under any documentation. You can fight that and by right and proof of what you have done clearly show that the property was unowned and you already invested years into it. So since the previous owner either is dead, left, or just forgot about it for years You are the new owner of it.

I was wondering if the squatting lately was being driven by the large investor groups. Just wait for the owner to give up and sell and swoop in. Kind of like what owners of buildings in some cities did decades ago to drive out tenants so they could then sell the units as condos. Just annoy the heck out of them until they leave. I have been watching someone like mentioned, who goes in and squats on the squatters. Reclaims the house for the owner by doing to the squatters, what they did to the owner. Love it!!

there was one thing you said that there were a number of homes that are vacant. if that is because there is no one who is actally living there such as the lady station in chicago but that was her actual home but actually empty. they have some thing over in the uk that can force a sale if the home is basically abandoned. they need to have this law so that it would make the home sellable so squatters don't have a chance to move in

About Tricon, what sort of penalties were they given? I would expect a homeowner victimized by these scams to be eligible for potentially treble damages. The damages would include ALL related costs even court fees, attorney fees and costs even money spent on transportation to a court house whether it be bus fare or cost of their own personal transportation and ALL parking fees and fines that may have been accrued during parking or driving since some cities are a huge pain to park in

I think with the growing homeless problem, we do need to make some housing available to the unemployed, those with spottier employment , poor rental history, bad credit, bankruptcy, charged off credit cards, those who Owe money to a previous landlord, those who have broken a lease, those with foreclosures or short sales, those unable to find a cosigner, those that are very poor, those who are self employed less than two years, those with criminal records, those with a prior eviction, etc I think part of the reason there are so many squatters and homeless is that many landlords exclude these populations from getting decent housing. They let all the developers build housing for the rich and upper middle class but very little the poorest people can afford nowadays. I think if society made more housing that was available to these populations excluded by most tenant screening databases, there would be less squatters.

At the very beginning I do not believe it was called squatting in years of yore, but homesteading or something like that. I think you're onto something with your theory. I don't know if they're the cause of it though I'd be surprised if they were not involved with any at all. Instead I think it's a perfect storm of circumstances (maybe they helped create or enforce) that they will take advantage of.

There are a lot of people talking about squatter's rights issues. Bear in mind that these rights can be habdy in certain circumstances, and they shouldn't be outright removed. They can protect people from sysyemic abuse coming from the asset holder's position. It is important to consider why such rights exist to begin with before allowing them to be dismantled.
