      The internet has made squatting popular. Also many states have squatters rights. Here in Oklahoma if you squat on a piece of land or home for more than 7 years with utilities paid you can claim that property. By the way it's not as easy as it sounds One must go through legal hoops. And I understand if an owner hasn't stepped foot on that property in 7 years it can be considered abandoned. You would be surprised at the number of people who die with no family and no one to claim the property and that is a squatters fantasy.

      You really need to become "hateful" about the homeless. They are not warm and fuzzy members of society. They are drug users and criminals and an industry has grown out of "helping" them. Are all of them this way? Almost. Over 90% are and the actual 10% that are not are pretty easy to sort out, if politicians are voted out and laws are changed.

    We had a rental property in Vegas, and the same thing happened to us. What we did was, waited until they went to work one day. We rented a U-Haul moved all of their shit into the U-Haul and then took it to a local storage facility. We installed ring cameras and changed the locks. They had damaged the home pretty badly already. And we knew if we were to press the issue when they were still in there it was going to get even worse. So when they got back home from work, we were standing at the front door. They told us to get out of their house. We told them where their stuff was and we told them it was paid for the month. We then told them if they came back on our private property they were going to be met with something shiny and heavy and that goes boom. Needless to say they never came back again. We weren’t about to spend thousands of dollars and go through the court system to get some son of a bitches out of our home! We then sold the property and I do Airbnb now. Only the Airbnb is on my property where I can watch it every single day.

Thus any squatter who says they have a lease (fake from online) can be immediately removed by the home owner without going through court to prove otherwise.

She did no know that I did outreach for the tribe for over a year. So we came up with a plan. My old septic system was one foot too close to the new well, a problem I knew about. So I informed her that the septic system was going to be removed and the drain field redone, which could take a few weeks, so I gave her a porta potty with plastic bags to use. Big trucks came, removed the old tank, and started creating a new septic field. They dragged this out over three weeks (they could have done it int two days) and she moved out. The tribe was great to me, giving me suggestions and even helping me to pay for the construction. I was told: she is not your problem. Raising responsible adults is the role of the tribe and we are sorry you had to deal with her immaturity.

You don't know their life or the circumstances which led them to behave that way so dehumanizing them is not going to help get to the root cause of this problem. Some squatters actually follow the law and make good use of abandoned properties that would otherwise go to waste. With the way housing markets are in America, it's understandable why some people resort to this loophole in the system.
      Should squatting laws be updated to protect property owners who still want their properties regardless of whether they actually reside there or not? Absolutely.

      @@pangmeister yes exactly. It is those city-owned (confiscated) properties that I was referring to as sometimes being better off squatted and taken over that way if done by someone who intends to take care of the property. Sometimes the previous owners of those confiscated properties are elderly who died or were put in a home, had been for years and are never coming back. They either didn't have family to leave the property to or an inheritor never claimed it for one reason or another. When attempts by the city or bank who owns the property to sell it have failed, it just sits there rotting until it gets hazardous enough to have to be demolished. This happened to a beautiful historic home that my brother used to live next to. The old lady who owned it got sick, was in a home for a while, then died. She had no family to claim it so her home, which was a good fixer-upper at first, turned into an eye sore blight over the years& city had more important things to do than worry about trying to sell it. This is the type of abandonment situation I was referring to as unfortunate waste bc if a responsible squatter took it over, they could have upkept it and eventually their residency would be legally recognized. Idk how every state squatting law is, but they should also be updated to make that squatter then responsible for the property taxes once recognized as the new owner and the only controversy would be that this person basically got a mortgage-free house.

    In some states, like CA, if someone lives in a place for 30 days or more, they are considered a "resident," and it is next to impossible to get them out. This happened to one of our former neighbors. Not even the police could remove her. They told him that, legally, their hands were tied. He moved her out when she was out of town, and the police stood guard while she moved right back in when she returned. She also had satanic symbols painted in secret places all over the apartment, two under his bed. She was a loon. So, he was the one who wound up moving out just to get some peace of mind and his life back. I couldn't believe it, but it happened. This situation is completely insane.

All their clothing, personal shit, big screen TV etc. Their car which ran and everything(nothing really wrong with it) was still their. When I stopped by and asked him where they went he just smiled shrugged his shoulders and said "IDK they just dissapeared" As we where talking a tow truck came and towed their car away.

It usually takes years to seize a property. You have plenty of time to resolve your responsibilities and if you can’t, then you should not own property. Period, full stop

The laws favor them not us, the shoplifters, burglers, drug users, etc. This is what people voted for, not having consequences for crime. And then there is a certain segment of the population that gets even more leniency.

    Wrong! I didn't shut off their services, (which they were correct about) - It was obvious that my water line was not working. They demanded that I make repairs to the line.
