Why not? That's exactly what illegals are doing to our country on a mass scale, and we don't seem to be able to do much about that either. Makes me sick.
an unforged document. forgery is still illegal.
So just because illegals are doing it, it’s OK for everyone else to also?
It’s designed for truly abandoned properties where there might even be a question of some type. What we are seeing today is willful refusal to enforce obvious breaking and entering cases where the slightest investigation would uncover the facts.
Lazy cops just say “it’s civil” rather than make the slightest effort.
The proof? If you moved into that cop’s house with a fake lease while he was at work. You would be instantly arrested by him and his buddies.
It’s clear that the wrong thing to do in this situation is to alert the police about it. After you do that you can’t do anything else, without risking jail.
They not only claimed her apartment but destroyed all the family photos and other items.
What does it say when the legal system favors scumbugs over legal property owners? This has been going on for years and no one has done anything about an obvious travesty of justice. You would think that someone in govt would eventually pay a price.
Reporting them is the issue, exterminating them solves the problem.
This. Never contact the authorities about squatters. Kill them and claim self defense.
If you don't live is a "Stand Your Ground" state, move.
“Pull the electric meter late at night.”
In many States you will go to jail for that.
Shoot the people who are in your home.
I think a big problem is that even the police and courts assume all a person needs to do is move into a vacant dwelling stay a certain time and BINGO squatter’s rights. They may be thinking this behavior equals adverse possession. It does not. In fact if I remember the law on adverse possession if the owner reoccupies (I think reentering counts) the person cannot claim to have been in continuous possession for the required number of years.
Then he should have no problem with you renting out his room and making room for a new tenant.
Yeah, that’s always such a shame.

What you posted is true. In California, the period is 10 years of open, continuous, hostile possession and the adverse possessor must have paid all property taxes on the property as well for that 10 years.
No. You could not recognize sarcasm without a /s tag?
I’m kinda dense myself sometimes.
Rent out his bedroom.
I don’t like it. But it’s been part of U.S. law since the beginning, and I guess inherited from British law.
It is foolish these days to let anyone stay in your home for more than a weekend visit. You no longer have rights.
