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.

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.

The settlers were squatters. Maybe that is where it traces back to. We need effective laws to deal with this.

[@BlueBD]

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.

[@LGAussie]

@@BlueBD in that case, it should be fine. An abandoned property for 15 years, or the owner was elderly and passed on 20 years prior.

@@LGAussie it would be. This is understandable case of clearly the place was abandoned. But the issue is the New versions of the law were revised to mear 30 days in New York a case 30 days is not abandoned it's not even that long and could be a simple case of the owner left on vacation, was deployed by the Military, or is literally being set for sale by the previous or inherited owner.

man just when i bought my first property and was excited to be a slumlord now this mess happens.😢

[@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel]

its been a while, but I thought the city would have a record of a liease being filed, bank records and that the house was actually advertised as being for rent? also, i think that builder at the end was hoping to 'grab' the land they actually want to wait her out

Wow… I see that you did with that “tin hat” theory. I think you’re on to something. Market control is a game changer.

[@Bewefau]

they already do with the stock market was only time before they did it to the other markets. they have all the records. You all from all those "survey's"

[@antareschen4451]

That’s why you do not expect any high from those low people.

Squatters are providing a valuable service to society. The reason squatting laws exist is to prevent the ruling elite from buying up homes and then sitting on them. That is, not allowing anyone to live there. Squatters are essential in the battle against hedge fund dominace of home buying.

Some states, renters rights supersede landlord rights, so it is possible to lease the unit to your bully brother in-law who can go into the unit at anytime and clean house (check your state laws 1st)

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.

I think you are right. :)

Best solution: Share the addresses of the local government officials online. Share the local laws on "squatter rights" and then, the local laws will quickly be fixed.

People need to stop calling thr police and just take care of it.

All Real Estate housing in the U.S. should have to be Owner Occupied by law. Housing is just way too out of control to allow people to own more than 2. Sorry...................

[@VDOVault]

The idea is adverse possession in most places you need to stay for 20 continuous years & your occupancy should be 'open, notorious (obvious) & hostile aka without permission). Check your state & local laws on this.

between hyperinflation and wall street buying every house was already enough. Now we gotta worry about theifs😢
