NYC Homeowners Told They Will Be Arrested If They Turn Off Electricity, Water As Squatters Take Over

The woke city of New York is being overrun by rampant crime, illegal immigrants, and now squatters thanks to a law that turns them into tenants after 30 days.

New York City homeowners are being pushed to financial limits that allow squatters to live rent-free. At the same time, the owners are forced to keep paying electricity and maintenance bills for the apartments.

Under New York City law, anyone who lives in a home or apartment for at least 30 days can claim squatter’s rights, even if they broke into the property without permission from the owner.

Squatters are taking advantage of New York City laws while homeowners go broke.

Several homeowners told CBS that they would be “arrested instantly” if they were to change the locks, evict the squatters, or turn off necessities such as hot water. They are forced to pay for the upkeep of the homes while squatters, many of whom are illegal immigrants, get to live in them for free.

NYC can fall into the sea for all I care. Voting for authoritarian Marxists is on them and they allowed themselves to mostly be unarmed and without legal recourse because they have Marxist judges in place.

TS, New York.

.....recalling how much I paid attention in High School, I would altar your idea a little, to wit: 1. Watch Dr. Z and then take a 100 question test the last week of the 8th grade. If you pass, you may go on to the 9th grade. If you don’t, repeat the 8th grade.

# 2, Rinse and repeat every year until the 12th grade. If you make a 90 on the 12th grade test, you may obtain your diploma and show up at graduation. If you fail the test in all 5 grades, report to a road gang picking up trash along side the road for ONE YEAR! At night, compulsory night classes studying for the test. After 1 year on the road gang is up, you can take the test again.

In Blue/Democrat Run cities, people live in fear and danger of home robberies, car jackings, shootings, home invasions and crossfire in drug wars. It’s like living in Mogadishu

Reminds of Zimbabwe where the evicted white farmers were forced to pay for improvements to the farms they were forced to abandon by their “genius” president, farm grabbin Bob Mugerbe.

Homeowners also required to bring three nutritious meals a day meeting government standards, fresh, fluffy bath towels,
soft toilet paper and toothpaste or face jail time and fines.

Not if they are inside the home when it burns down: )

[vivenne]

Exactly. All by design. Expect to have more illegal aliens taking over and judges siding with them.

Government of the people by the moochers, for the moochers.

[zeugma]

If this happens to you, the worst thing possible for you to do would be to notify ANY agent of the government at any level. Merely enter your dwelling, kill the bastards and claim you were “in fear for your life” from home invaders. If you say anything to the government at all before hand, they will destroy you. There is no level of government AT ALL that is on your side. They are at best, an occupying army of leaches, murderers and thieves.

[Eleutheria5]

If you have a backyard, bury the body there. If you don’t, take it to the dump in the middle of the night. “Fear for your life,” shmear for your life. You can’t get away with murder, because you’re not a homeless bum. They will persecute you like Captain Ahab did Moby Dick, or like Fanni Willis et al. are doing to DJT.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

And the thing is....they will STILL vote DEMOCRAP!!!!!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Close. Last November they voted 89% Democrap

[RasterMaster]

So are they going to follow the same stance of going after utility companies when they shut off after a homeowner or renter misses a "due date"???

[SisterK]

If you have a backyard, bury the body there

exactly
Arizona rancher George Kelly found the body

In 1962, John F. Kennedy famously said, "Those, who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

[RasterMaster]

They need to stay there....they allowed these scumbags to take over their state government, they should reap what they sow. They don't need come south and turn our states into the same communist shitholes they created because they were too afraid to offend the criminals instead of giving them what they deserve. Chalk outlines make for great deterrents to others who may also choose to FAFO.

I am surprised that by now New York landfills are not full of NYC bureaucRATs.

This time the Demonrats have gone too far but they will cheat like we have never seen before.

[CottonBall]

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking of also. Dr Zhivago should be required watching in all schools
