[@teresa978]

@h_3_x_ Was encouraged to live free in my rental property knowing I could not do a damn thing legally right away to throw him out. He took advantage of the swatters' law in my state and stole what was left inside but never thought I would go to court to collect. I hired a private investigator to find out everything I needed, in order to have his job served so I could collect on my judgement for back rent money. Not nearly enough to cover all the damage done but back rent for two years was garnished.

[@teresa978]

@h_3_x_ because my state protects you, so he was encouraged to live in my rental for free for 2 years. It was long enough for me to spend thousands on a lawyer and PI to get the information I needed to obtain a judgment and then serve his employer to garnish his check. Not enough to repair all the damage done and family items left behind that was stolen but I got rent money for that time.

We had a family friend come visit us here in Texas from Los Angeles a few years ago and witnessed a group of individuals breaking into his home on his ring doorbell camera a couple days later. Called the police to file a breaking and entering report and the police called him back to inform him that he saw the renters coming home. That was a 1 1/2 year battle for our friend who had to pay $100,000 to the squatters just so they would leave. I love California, but that situation is just mind-boggling. Our friend had all of his electronics stolen his clothes stolen his jewelry stolen and everything of value was stolen. They trashed his house costing tens of thousands of dollars in repair and in the one and 1/2 years that it took for them to evict these people, he had to pay rent while still paying a mortgage along with all of the utilities, including Netflix for the squatters. Why the state lets this happen is beyond me.

The nice couple with kids that wanted to rent tried to do this with me suddenly switching from loving the place to a scam.

A car is private property too. Yet a car which can be valued anywhere from $200 for a beater with a heater to several thousands of dollars is a felony stop resulting in some cases lives lost. But a house worth 100k and up is a civil matter to steal, occupy and destroy. Not sure I grasp the logic here. Let's ignore the fact that in many cases a person has broken into the home. Is in a place they don't have lawful authority to be, trespassing. Gaining a value of use that they would otherwise have had to pay for. And of course the loss of value to the actual owner. Just curious but has a squatter ever done this to a cop, legislator, mayor or any other government official? Would law enforcement response be the same for those individuals?

Three months to one year, to get a response from the municipality to get your own house back from criminal squatters! The homeowner has to be put through such a nightmare. The trespassers should be removed immediately, should be a criminal matter, and the trespassers put in jail with felony. Why is California not implementing an Anti-Criminal Squatter Bill. Every working voting resident of California needs to write to their Senator and Representatives to prepare a Bill for the Governor to sign just as Florida did in March 2024.

Need to handle it literally on your own.

And renters wonder why NO ONE wants to let them rent their house or why rent is so high.

Welcome to California!!!

There's always diy. The squatters will 100% disappear overnight without a trace.

Trump won, life will be like paradise!

How in the world is that a civil matter? Around here if anyone was squatting the sheriff would have them out in a couple hours though there may be some holes that would need to be patched up. And that's if the neighbors didn't get together and handle it themselves.

The neigbors suffer too when squatters linger for a year and invite other squatters.

[@barbietingz8722]

they need to change these squatter laws, homeowners shouldn't be put in a position to lose their property they worked hard to acquire because some stranger decided to move in

[@scottmcfarland2149]

Rediculous

[@sasstewart1222]

Nice house, only $2.1 Million!

[@marilynm8812]

I am glad it is getting easier in some areas for homeowners to get help. Actually, it is "breaking and entering".

[@S.B.-rh9mf]

Be patient!!!?! In the meantime the squatters are destroying the home. And who’s going to pay for that damage? The homeowner of course while the squatters get off Scott free. Something is definitely wrong with ours laws. Squatters shouldn’t have more rights than legal home owners!!!!

[@Vasudeva108.]

Squatters issues should be a priority for lawmakers in every state of the country. Make laws to prevent this.
