If he didn't get permits to build it, then it is illegal to occupy it, and it can't legally be used as a residence, and it can't legally have any utility service.
Youre making people angry by saying that they had it coming because it's not just Airbnb. Elderly people are having to deal with squatters in their homes when they left for 6 months to find them occupied. People who aren't doing this for a business, but just trying to live.
A guy I know removed Squatters from his rentals by paying associates to move into the rental as Squatters themselves that basically forced out the original Squatters because they made living there a living hell. Typical within a week the Squatters are gone and the associates move out having done a great job....
@nadinenc3097 I said the same thing to him, but he knows these guys personally so he trusts them... I did a follow-up with him and he said no Squatters tried to come back, so it worked...
My sister had a rental in Arizona. Squatters moved in. Pay 1 months rent. She went through the courts, 6 months. Then got the eviction notice. The cops would not serve the eviction. They claimed they were to busy. She called me. I did some quick research. Once a tenant stops paying they no longer have a right to the property, and the property owner can re rent the property. I rented the house. I pulled up in the front yard, in my F150. Turned lose my Rottweiler. I had key's. I let my self in. They were flipping out. Called the cops. The cops left. I began dissembling the home. Removed door, water heater, disabled the A/C, the morning of the third day they left and were never heard from again.
If your dog attacked one of the Occupants espeicially if it was a Child- wouldn't they have a Valid Assault case against you. The Police should be involved in this I think
@@HoldenNY22If the person the dog attacked had no legal right to be there, the dog is just protecting its territory, and is entirely off the hook But also the story is a complete fabrication, if a fun one..
A tenant has a private entrance and private utilities (kitchen, bathroom, etc). Since that ADU was no longer considered a distinct, legitimate rental unit, it reverted to being a "room" of the main property; and the renter would become a "boarder" (as in room & board). Boarders don't have as many/strong of rights in many places, but CA is different. I'll have to look but I believe they are treated most similarly in CA than most other places.
And if he didn't get permits to build it, then it is illegal to occupy it, and it can't legally be used as a residence, and it can't legally have any utility service.
I had someone try to squat in my Airbnb. As soon as I realized what he was doing I kicked the door down and told him he either leaves peacefully or we are going at it. He replied “you legally can’t kick me out”, without saying a word I grabbed him and physically threw him out the door with his belonging. The next day police came and told me they were notified that I kicked out a squatter. I replied “I have no clue what you talking about, I’ve never had anyone squat in my place”. With no evidence they left and that was it. Nice and easy, no money lost, no violence and no courts involved.
@hornetsnestmedia *I see you stand with corrupt people, corrupt Politician, etc... Violence is when you punch someone in the face or kick them, etc... Just grabbing them and removing them from your own property is not violence in anyway whatsoever.*
When someone feels completely unprotected , people tend to take justice by themselves or creating mechanisms to get a quick solution. It's frustrating , the sensation to be cornered . This country is upside down.
Since the guest house was built out of the code, the owner can be able to shut off the utilities for the safety of the premise since it was not code compliance.
Power supply can brake at any time, there are so many breakers within that system ;) . Since she forgot to pay, he can forget to fix it or schedule busy electrician for appointment next year.
If anything then the OWNER gets the fine for leasing out an uninhabitable property, regardless if they are up to date on their rent or not ( seriously) Its like getting ripped off in a drug deal you would still be arrested if authorities found out regardless if you didn't receive the money .Stupid isn't it ( in the rent situation I mean)
Godfather, I have a problem. You've always been welcome in my home. You danced with my daughter at her wedding. But now these scum... they've taken my property, they won't pay rent, I can't pay my bills... what should I do? I need your advice. Vince, Vince, you're a good man, and you've always been good to my family. Take a little vacation, and I promise, this "problem" will "move out" while you're gone...
Invite my cousin Richie to move in with your squatters. He'll move in, fart constantly, eat their food, steal their stuff, break their stuff(accidentally), play loud music, yell a lot, and take a shit on all their beds. Next step? Hire my nephew Calvin to get rid of my cousin Richie.
In Serbia, you pay a few hundred euros to a few guys and they evict, no problem. They simply take people out, take the furniture out, replace the lock, and that is that.
That's the plan. "Somebody" is purposely making people scared to own properties, while the same "somebody" purchasing all these properties slowly but surely.
The thing is, these nightmare stories often start with the renter saying, "Hey, can I just stay a few extra days? I'll pay you directly." to which the landlord agrees. The landlord then immediately loses all AirBnB protections since they're no longer under the AirBnB contract. Then getting them out depends on the laws where you live. You don't want to be a landlord with a loose contract in CA.
Here in Phoenix an owner of an apartment building that became a drug trap den and he wanted to get the dredges out. He offered to let the local fire department run drills on all the floors of the building making it unbearable. It worked. Thank you for the fantastic video!!! Keep up the great work.
My uncle in Fort Worth rented his house to a young couple, by putting up a note on the Police Station bulletin board. He gave it to Police officers at a big discount, and they always were the best tenants, and the neighborhood got a lot nicer.
She agreed to paying rent to stay in the guest house, then she stopped paying rent. I don't understand why anyone would try to defend her, even if the guest house wasn't up to code. California is the gutter of justice
Because there’s so many losers who have bought into class warfare and are so jealous of anyone successful that they justify “the little guy getting even”
We are not saying she is right.. we are saying the landlord started it all wrong, no permits for the ADU, etc. If you are in California (like me), you know that Los Angeles city doesn't give short term rental permits to ADUs. If he had permitted his ADU he wouldn't able to get the STR permit to list on Airbnb. So he cut a lot of corners to make it happen illegally.
The thing I don’t understand is if the landlord doesn’t have landlord rights and can’t charge rent how is she considered a tenant and how does she have tenant rights? Just per definitions, a tenant is someone who rents a space and pays rent.
Well, he could do what my then-bf did to get rid of an ex who wouldn't go away; he sat in the living room cleaning his bowie knife. He could have cleaned his Desert Eagle, too. That bf has been my husband for 26 years.
Does it say hot water in the agreement? No hot water then. What about quantity and quality of water? You can turn down the water pressure and or maybe add some stink or colouring to the water. Right now myself I pay low rent and the landlord doesn't like it so I am under a sonic attack, but you can't photograph sonic, and record sonic (sound). So I can't file any kind of complaint because I got no proof.
My Uncle had some real squatters move into his home and claim they rented it furnished from "Joe Smith" (Not a real name), so he asked for the best advice, then printed 10 copies of a ONE Percent purchase contract for the home, gave one copy to each of his 5 big friends, and took the other 5 to the courthouse and registered them. Then they all took their sledgehammers and sleeping bags and went to the house, broke in the barricaded back door the squatters had got in through, and when the cops got there the men had papers and the squatters had nothing. Cops arrested the squatters for threats. House was repaired and sold in a month. After it was all over, her gave a big barbeque, and 100 dollars, to each friend and burned the papers at the BBQ. (His lawyer gave him the advice.)
You may not be able to shut off utilities like Internet, but you can slow down the speeds so much that it becomes impossible to do anything online. Just ask a network engineer like me.
If you have a managed network, then you could redirect all the occupier’s traffic to a porn site. Internet is still on, they just cannot go to any other website.
Its an Airbnb, you do not need a lease. You just said they booked it for these days. Let your friend stay there for Free. Eat their foods, Fart away, play music as loud as they want.
@@patriciamitchell9365Most squatters aren't gang members. It isn't that hard to scare away anyone halfway ordinary. Move in with big, scary dogs, clean your guns in the living room, have your biker friends over every night to party. Even if they aren't Hells Angels, don't you know any big guys with motorcycles? The squatters won't know the difference.
What people keep leaving off this story is that she was booked off the Airbnb platform when her original stay ended. He let her stay on without getting the proper protections: Lease, deposit, credit references, etc. So she wasn't an Airbnb guest at the time she started squatting. she was a former Airbnb guest. He did screw up by not making sure the ADU was legal but also in not getting a lease agreement and deposit. Pretty dumb. That said though, the woman is a leech.
Finally, someone else mentions it! People keep trying to cite this story against AirBnB or California landlord protections and don't even know the facts. ALWAYS have a contract when you let someone live with you, and have a lawyer look it over, even for some friends--maybe especially.
@@superhitb or just say no, unless she rebooks through AirBnB. You'd contact AirBnB the next day if she doesn't rebook and refuses to leave. That story would be much shorter. Plus, you can always deny someone's request to stay on AirBnB. He wouldn't be obligated to justify why she couldn't stay longer
There was like a week left in the stay and she complained of moistness coming from somewhere. He went in to inspect and told her he would book her a hotel for the rest of the stay so he could fix the damage. She declined saying she was allergic to cats, then refused to move.
i really dont get that case: IF the guest house has no CoO - it is legally considered a SHED or a WAREHOUSE, right? Yes, you can not "collect rent" from it, but it also means it is NOT a livable space. It's a shed. So how in the world "you cant stop water supply, electricity, heat" etc? It's a freaking shed! I have no obligation to pay for water/sewer in my shed. The fact the CoO is not issued means even the authorities have never confirmed this space CAN be "occupied" (by a human being).
When I was renting units I always had them sign that all rooms were common areas…that way if they don’t pay rent..I can also have access to all common areas..which is everywhere. Bring my friends over and watch the tv..eat the food…and use the crapper…crawl into bed when they are in bed..lol..they leave after a few days..
My uncle once had a situation where he rented a tiny house to an old lady, and in a few months some piece of shit went to live with her and refuse to pay rent because "he knew the law". Instead of threatening them, he just went to the municipal cemetery and grabbed from the garbage dump a bunch of wreaths (those circle things with flower things people put on graves). The next day, he drove to the house, hang it all over the fence and went to work. During lunch, he drove back there to check it out, and the door was open and the house empty. Superstition is a hell of a drug.
@@indiannajames8428 My country is filled with VERY superstitious people, like, the type that make the cross sign when then need to pass a cemetery and believe in all sorts of witchcraft (generally, the poorer the country, the most "ignorant" the people are). And nothing scare them the most as death. Brazil is probably the last place on earth were spiritist and african based religions are still practiced in a significant number. The place is a golden mine for charlatans.
YES... I've been telling STR landlords this, for years! (i.e. MAX 29 day, stay!) Notice how (Rocker fella, Aspen Institute funded) ABB, etc. don't even ALLOW, for this!! They had this ALL pre- planned, years... ago, as par.
According to an article in Newsweek, There is little research about the scale of the issue in the U.S. But areas in Georgia, Florida and Texas had more squatters than other U.S. metropolitan areas, according to a survey by the National Rental Home Council (NRHC).
@@rut8851oh no, not um, the red states. Oh me oh my. But we’ve been blaming blue states and dems and libs. By the way New York is right now passing legislation to protect homeowners and disenfranchise squatters, despite blue states doing nothing but encouraging squatters so the many uninformed commentators like to post.
All these rules against a Landlord that he can't turn off electricity/water etc is against law is contradicting to what the judge just pointed out. He's not a landlord to a property that isn't permitted to be rented out. There for, he should classify it as a storage unit and turn stuff off. Two can play this game.
@@vickynoname9860 I feel that laws protect squatters far more then they do the owners themselves. Owners/landlords shouldn't have to go through hoops to remove a unpaying tenant. What's fair is fair. Pay to stay or don't and get on out. This isn't charity, owners have bills too. Imagine if you're late on your car payment, that gets immediately repo'd if you're late just a couple months.
Yes, I would think that would be acceptable. The landlord should have followed the law and done things the right way. But this person does not have the right to keep on living in a home that they have no right to be in.
This was an incident involving an empty house being occupied by crackheads. A cop told us, dont label the "incident" as a squatters, because sqautters have rights....say, "tresspassing"....then they have a better chance of getting the boot. Of which happened. The cops came in gave them the boot, threatening arrest, they left and never came back.
*Lets you and I go find a nice little mansion with a pool and tennis court and claim squatter rights before they are all taken by other lawful squatters.* 🤣
All considered, it's ridiculous that a judge( in California) is forcing a landlord to subsidise a non paying "tenant"/squatter. It's a scam but she is successfully scamming the system.
I bet if a squatter tried to break in and squat in a corporate property, when they provide their fake lease to the police the corporation will say "that's not from us, we have policies and procedures in place to produce specific leases." Then the police will arrest them for breaking and entering and forgery. A small time individual using a management company probably does not have that luxury. Also the corporate properties can easily take the financial hit from a few squatters, a small time individual cannot. People that think squatters are sticking it to rich landlords are wrong. Squatters only scare off small time individuals from competing with rich landlords.
Especially if the criminal is a huge corporation. That's why a bank or other big entity can up and declare your property to be theirs and you're the one on the hook to try to prove otherwise, if you can even get any kind of a lawyer.
I'm finding this hard to believe. Would the judge actually force a property owner to subsidize a non-paying tenant? She could skyrocket his utilities to heaven with a deal like that. Plus, if this ADU/guest cottage is illegal, why would a judge agree it is okay for her to continue to live there? The politicians need to put the brakes on tenants who scam the system!
@@garrettmgunderson Does not make it right in any way. If still thieft. Ya I get our Government been ripping us off for years now too. But all that does not make it right.
No one mentions that he let her stay with basically no contract. The AirBnB was over. Thus the landlord left himself with almost no protections under the law
The neighbor had the house tented for termites. Deadly poison and all doors and windows were opened everything removed from the rooms and cabinets to eliminate staining and health contact harm from laying on treated mattress. Nothing can survive the process, everything living that needs to continue living has to leave.
Rent the place to a friend who has a bull mastiff, or a terrarium with snakes, or with scorpions. If the woman continues to stay, remove and hide the snake/scorpion while the woman is out and inform her of the escape when she returns.
Build a kennel next to garden cabin for small yappy dogs. Feed and play with dogs at all hours of the day and night. Joking aside, I was traumatized by a false accusation by a monthly tenant. Had to hire a lawyer. Lost money on Airbnb rentals and legal fees. Tread carefully and legally on evictions.
in Mexico i am not so sure about squatter laws concerning STR's . But I do know that there is a guy for EVERYTHING down here . I would pay 4 of the biggest , meanest looking local men to go over to the house and walk right in the house and tell them they have 20 mins to gather up their belongings and get out ... or else . I assure you the problem would be solved . Things are different down here
This would be far more effective than calling the police, which sounds like a huge mistake in California. I think another good play would be to wait until the squatter is out of the house for a while, and then move all of their stuff out and change all the locks.
that would work. in mexico you can also tell the squatters that the property is owned or has just been rented to the cartel and they are arriving in about an hour. and if the place is not ready for them that the blame will be put on you (squatter)
Umm if there is no certificate to wllow residency, then why is the tenet not evicted on the grounds that it is not a livable structure legally? Seems someone got oversmart.
I know a guy that will look for rooms that are not up to code (usually a basement) and rent it. He will pay for a few months and then suddenly stop paying. He usually complains that something is wrong in the room and becomes a squatter. The owner that may live in the house or not, then is stuck knowing no one is supposed to be living in the basement to begin with. He realizes he cannot be kicked out because there are no windows or two points of egress (exits). Eventually, when the owner starts to threaten him seriously he calls the fire department and reports the apartment as illegal. He then moves and everyone else in the basement has to move within a few days. He then goes to another illegal basement and does the same thing. He barely ever pays rent and ruins the lives of many homeowners.
I have an awesome lawyer in Illinois who helps me evict bad tenants. It starts with a good rental agreement that voids the agreement on any bad conditions that could happen. Illinois law makes it easy to evict if the tenant doesn't have a valid rental contract.
If the court refuses to recognize the owner as a landlord because they didn’t do you things correctly, then they need to stop referring to the squatter as a tenant. Since the property was never deemed OK to occupy in the first place. This is clearly a judge afraid of facing a human rights issue.
IN THE OLD DAYS, you just notified the tenant that you had to do some repairs to the external doors on the place, you REMOVED THEM and disappeared Didn't take them long to figure out they would loose all their shit without doors on the place, and they left. VERY ILLEGAL NOW I assume. Could you hire a bug exterminating company to tent the place ?
I no longer own property and retired with F.U. security 9 years ago. So, regarding "squatters"...lol There were spikes in crime and home invasions that chased away those thinking they would use the law to evade responsibility. That hardest part for me as well as the investigating detective was keeping a straight face
This can only happen in a blue state. In my state I can post 15 day notice on the door, on day 16 the police dept will empty the unit of any occupants and arrest them if needed.
Renters that play landlords are criminals. I planned to use Airbnb on a cross country tour, after trying to get my first one, I gave up on the whole concept because: 1) took too long to secure one, 2) no disclosure of the neighborhood which was one if I left my car there, I wouldn't have had wheels and 3) impossible to talk to anyone with a problem. I decided to sleep in car and shower at LUV truck stops which I highly recommend - their showers are like the Taj Mahal complete with big screen TV (!)
This isn't a tenant vs owner even though it keeps getting framed that way. Most people don't support the tenant even if they are on the "other" side of this argument. The tenant is shady. However, the owner ultimately caused this by repeatedly and likely intentionally failing to do his part. Now he doesn't want to take responsibility.
He did make a mistake...he rented to someone in CA...that state is insane. There's a BIG DIFFERENCE between tenant protections for safe and clean living conditions/maintenance and legalized squatting.
It's not insane at all. The guy was incredibly careless, letting the woman stay after the AirBnB without a clear contract. History is full of people taking advantage of poorly-made agreements--doesn't matter which state or even country. Always have them rebook on AirBnB if they want to stay longer. This would not have been a problem if he'd just done that.
A friend of mine , Ah Hum, lives in a blue state and he used the old emergency clause to evict tenants all the time. It's simply amazing how heating systems or electrical systems can miraculously fail at the most opportune times.

00:00 🏠 Airbnb host lost eviction case against guest staying for 542 days without paying. 01:10 🏢 Guest house built without proper permits, no certificate of occupancy, can't collect back rent. 02:22 🚫 Landlord cannot shut off utilities, must provide internet, keep home secure. 04:13 🔒 Landlords may use illicit tactics to try to force eviction, but it's risky and not common in Texas. 05:10 🛄 Airbnb guests differ from squatters in that they bring minimal belongings; removing furniture can force them out temporarily. 07:43 ⚖️ Host's shortcuts in building ADU put him at a disadvantage in court; sophisticated actors bear more responsibility in business.
I (as a sophisticated actor) would rent it to some outlaw bikers legit for a dollar a month with the understanding that there were squatters in the house and they must be willing to coexist with the squatters until the squatters leave then the bikers must be willing to leave. I'd tell the bikers to eat, drink and be merry while they were there, co occupy the bedrooms share the towels bathrooms etc...
You don't want outlaw bikers unless you're one of them. Believe me. Don't you know any big guys with motorcycles? Or even big guys with big trucks and guns, add in a few big scary dogs. The guys can clean their guns in the living room. It's even better if they have beards and tattoos, but tattoos are just a bonus. They're easy to fake with temps. I know a couple of enormous men with beards and big dogs and guns AND motorcycles, one of whom is my son (who has a flaming skull tattoo on his head) and one is my husband's oldest friend (who's 6'5"). Both are the sweetest guys, but the squatter wouldn't know that. They're loud, they drink beer, they have big gun collections and my son has 5 huge dogs. Sounds like fun.
If he can't collect rent because there is no certificate of occupancy, he isn't a landlord. Therefore, he doesn't have to provide what a landlord would provide.
For an airbnb isn't anyone who stays less than 30 days just a trespasser if you want them gone? It's like when a hotel needs to remove a bad guest. The police will assist in that case. It's only when they secure tenant rights that a problem can occur right?
It wasn't an AirBnB when this happened. The problem arose because the rental ended, and the guy let her stay a little longer off the books, so he lost all the AirBnB landlord protections.
Although I am in favor of ALWAYS do things correct and in line with the rules and regulation, it is also VERY frustrating that tenants who "use" the system to their benefit have more rights than a person who paid for his house and guesthouse. ....even if technically its an illegal guesthouse, its still his property and the law should always be in favor of the paying property owner.
So why can't the owner just bulldoze the "guest house" if it has no CoO and they are technically not a landlord? It is a "bad structure" and not to code, so should come down, right?
If he didn't get permits to build it, then it is illegal to occupy it, and it can't legally be used as a residence, and it can't legally have any utility service.
Interesting Sean but you are not an attorney. A good attorney can find a way. One flaw that I see is that if the unit is NOT CODE approved then the permit office can require them to leave. Also AR bb is a contract and she is still liable for the balance. A good attorney will find a loophole.
@@sharonsalman2675 Where I’m from, we don’t have laws. I would force her out and deal with the legal consequences later. The police do not have jurisdiction to arrest the landlord or force a tenant back in since it’s a civil matter
I believe every action has a consequence. Personally I would find a quick loop hole and get them out immediately. If I mis-stepped it's on me. That's why I have a business Attorney and wouldn't allow this to go past 1 day. I've been in the business for 9 years and I would NEVER allow a tenant to use the system against me. I would tear the building down bf I allow that. It's unfortunate! Had the same chat with colleagues and that guest would be out no later then 4hrs past checkout. She used Covid and the amended landlord tenant laws to squat. The host was probably too busy with a full time job to nip this in a timely manner and here we are. To all the hosts out there, be careful. STR isn't welcomed so the system will most likely NOT side with you. Their are alot of moving parts to this case. I wouldn't be surprised if the court system uses this host as an example. I also will not be surprised if this case is overturned. Just Google weird laws in random states, just bc its a law doesn't mean it's not violating a constitutional right.. laws change because they don't work for the collective. Example STR laws.
Thank you so much for the tips! Multiple airbnbs on our city street are becoming a nuisance - a plague of noisy partying urchins who would never think of making their own home an airbnb! Anything to know, stifle, and discourage them besides always calling the police for disturbing the peace is much appreciated!
If this building is not supposed to be occupied, then it is not supposed to have any utilities going to it, so in this case, yes he can shut off the utilities because they were not permitted in the first place.
Well if the judge says the guest house is not a guest house because the surgeon never got permits then it's just a box in the back yard and you can turn the utilities off. It can't be treated like a rental if it has not permits.
It doesn’t matter how one chooses to start a rental. Squatters are imposing themselves in other peoples property. Plain wrong‼️ People without a home can ask people selling their house if they can stay free & they’ll take care of it till it sells, then do it again with out imposing.
Watched the first 2 mins. That's enough for me. If you don't pay, you shouldn't be able to trespass and inhabit someone's property without their consent. The laws need to be that simple.
I had a landlord in Austin that refused to fix any of the items in the house that were very worn out, such as all of the windows leaking. I stayed there for ten years and took care of the place as it was my own. When I left, he didn't give me my deposit back and said he had to use it to fix damaged items. The items he claimed were damaged were due to his own cheapness and neglect. There were holes in the sheet rock when I moved in that he said "i'll just waive the cleanup fee for you" about..... I repaired them myself even though I had nothing to do with them. He charged me for that. I wanted to sue him but i digressed. I don't know what I could have gotten out of the deal or how I could have proven that he neglected the property while I lived in it.
I just use my deposit as my last month's rent so they can't screw me like that. They're never happy about it, but what can they do? If you leave the place in Good condition, there's no reason for them to steal your deposit anyway.
@@beatrixbrennan1545 Fortunately that experience lit the fire under me to go buy a house. If I have to ever rent anything again I will definitely not make the same mistakes of letting them eat my deposit like that. His greed got him $900 extra dollars (I know .... 2010 rental prices in Austin) but it cannot buy his dignity or clean spirit.
There's that new character who went and got a signed lease from the owner and moved in with the squatters. He installed security cameras and basically made life hell for the squatters. In court his lease was recognized over the false lease of the squatters and they were evicted.
Officer I'm not sure who this man is standing outside my home with his suitcases in hand. I have a guesthouse but it is all boarded up to prevent against break-ins. Could you tell this homeless man to stop harassing me?
Good video, very informative. Quick question on that Doctor with the unpermitted AirBnB. If the structure is unpermitted why hasn't there been a notice posted as not fit for habitation by the inspection department and squatters forced to move out, hmm?
There is a guy in California who agrees to squat in a rental, when the original squatter is not at home. I believe he asks for a rental agreement, but I'm not sure If he gets the squatters out, he the collects a fee. Since he has just as equal if not greater claim to the house as a "squatters/renter" the squatter can't get the cops to kick him out. He even invites five or six of his big buddies over every night so that he's protected.
I rented out my basement apartment (I lived in the upper level) and the tenant stopped paying rent. While she was out for the day, I changed the locks and boarded up the windows. I saw her come home later that day, park her car and go around the house to her apt. and then a few minutes later, get in her car and leave. The next morning at 6 AM, cops came to my house and arrested me and I spent the day in jail waiting to get bailed out. She also sued me in civil court for $8K but I ended up settling for $2K plus attorney's fees. I learned a valuable lesson of what NOT to do! Now, I choose tenants VERY carefully!
Can someone please please explain why he can't kick a person out WHY a person with no valid contract cannot be evicted from someone's property? Because, her contract is up, no?
The basic human right to shelter is protected. You cannot waive your/others human rights. Even if a contract was signed. So existing in a dwelling for any real period affords you the human right to reside. No matter how you got there
@@AirbnbAutomated WOW. That is insane. So, in Cali, if I somehow manage to sneak into someones house, from then on, I'm entitled to stay there and the law is even in my house? Not sure if this sounds more amazing or horrendous haha.

Our landlord is the nicest landlord you could ask for. Anything goes wrong ( which happens rarely) and he is right here to fix it. He's taken him to court several times and the judge just gives him more time to pay and he still pays nothing. Even though I barely make it paycheck to paycheck, I still pay my rent. Sickening. And who does snow shoveling? Not him. He'll watch a 65 yr old woman do it! He never puts his garbage out to the curb. Just spends his money on partying and playing. Lazy is what he is! This world has gotten ridiculous! Integrity doesn't matter I guess.
Can the owner go to the city and get code enforcement to say the unit is uninhabitable? Would it then be illegal for anyone to live there until he makes the appropriate repairs and gets a certificate of occupancy? It will cost him but she will be out.
If a guest decides to stay longer and wont move out. Can you not just file a no trespassing order for the property? I would think if same day or next day past their stay this should be in your rights?
Yes, you have ways to get a problematic tenant out, but you need an enforceable contract in place between you and the renter to do that. This guy let her stay without a clear contract after the AirBnB ended.
This just goes to show you once again that the justice system is not for the victim it never was intended to even protect the victim it always protects the perpetrator always😅
I know someone who purchased skunk scent and piped in the scent through a tiny hole he drilled. The person couldn't figure out where the smell kept coming from and vacated within week.
It's good to hear this perspective on that illegal landlord/squatter situation. I had an issue with mold in my (Florida) apartment's A/C. I called and called. Maintenance came multiple times and tried to patch the problem. I found the Florida statute that said a landlord has to resolve a black mold problem. The tenant can withhold rent and the landlord would get penalties. I wrote a letter to the property manager citing the law and the problem was fixed promptly. The property manager tried to tell me that I was imagining the problem. I said, "No m'am. I've purchased a $700 air purifier and I've doubled up on my asthma prescrption." I reported her to corporate. She suddenly disappeared from the onsite management office. Hmmmm.
If it's not to code, without a certificate, he's legally not a landlord. The owner can ABSOLUTELY shut off the utilities and start disassembling it, starting with the windows and doors.

If he didn't get permits to build it, then it is illegal to occupy it, and it can't legally be used as a residence, and it can't legally have any utility service.
Youre making people angry by saying that they had it coming because it's not just Airbnb. Elderly people are having to deal with squatters in their homes when they left for 6 months to find them occupied. People who aren't doing this for a business, but just trying to live.
CCP Tik Tok not a factor in any of this...
How did such a good looking man, end up with such a annoying voice ? 😢
A guy I know removed Squatters from his rentals by paying associates to move into the rental as Squatters themselves that basically forced out the original Squatters because they made living there a living hell. Typical within a week the Squatters are gone and the associates move out having done a great job....
a bouncer of sorts
Hahahahaha brilliant! Fuckin brilliant!
I would be afraid the associates would squat.
@nadinenc3097 I said the same thing to him, but he knows these guys personally so he trusts them... I did a follow-up with him and he said no Squatters tried to come back, so it worked...
Did these secondary squatters also like to ride “noisy motorcycles” by chance….?🙄
My sister had a rental in Arizona. Squatters moved in. Pay 1 months rent. She went through the courts, 6 months. Then got the eviction notice. The cops would not serve the eviction. They claimed they were to busy. She called me. I did some quick research. Once a tenant stops paying they no longer have a right to the property, and the property owner can re rent the property. I rented the house. I pulled up in the front yard, in my F150. Turned lose my Rottweiler. I had key's. I let my self in. They were flipping out. Called the cops. The cops left. I began dissembling the home. Removed door, water heater, disabled the A/C, the morning of the third day they left and were never heard from again.
smart 😆👍

You are a great brother!
Sounds like the way you're supposed to do it.
If the judge says "tenant" owes no rent because its not a rental then hes not a landlord and landlord tenant laws don't apply.
A tenant has a private entrance and private utilities (kitchen, bathroom, etc). Since that ADU was no longer considered a distinct, legitimate rental unit, it reverted to being a "room" of the main property; and the renter would become a "boarder" (as in room & board). Boarders don't have as many/strong of rights in many places, but CA is different. I'll have to look but I believe they are treated most similarly in CA than most other places.
That kind of activist judge probably doesn’t really care about legal logic so much as enacting their marxist ideology
Then the person is a trespasser.
My pitbulls don't agree they need lunch
And if he didn't get permits to build it, then it is illegal to occupy it, and it can't legally be used as a residence, and it can't legally have any utility service.
I had someone try to squat in my Airbnb.
As soon as I realized what he was doing I kicked the door down and told
him he either leaves peacefully or we are going at it. He replied “you legally can’t kick me out”, without saying a word I grabbed him and physically threw him out the door with his belonging.
The next day police came and told me they were notified that I kicked out a squatter. I replied “I have no clue what you talking about, I’ve never had anyone squat in my place”. With no evidence they left and that was it. Nice and easy, no money lost, no violence and no courts involved.
@hornetsnestmedia I mean it would have turned into a crime scene if he thought he was brave enough to resist me throwing him out the door.
@hornetsnestmedia *I see you stand with corrupt people, corrupt Politician, etc... Violence is when you punch someone in the face or kick them, etc... Just grabbing them and removing them from your own property is not violence in anyway whatsoever.*
@hornetsnestmedia just chill man. U invite a squatter if u want.
When someone feels completely unprotected , people tend to take justice by themselves or creating mechanisms to get a quick solution. It's frustrating , the sensation to be cornered . This country is upside down.
The police are not on our side . They belong t the system. The game is rigged
Since the guest house was built out of the code, the owner can be able to shut off the utilities for the safety of the premise since it was not code compliance.

Power supply can brake at any time, there are so many breakers within that system ;) . Since she forgot to pay, he can forget to fix it or schedule busy electrician for appointment next year.
Have the city come and do an inspection and do a write up saying the building can not be occupied.
If anything then the OWNER gets the fine for leasing out an uninhabitable property, regardless if they are up to date on their rent or not ( seriously) Its like getting ripped off in a drug deal you would still be arrested if authorities found out regardless if you didn't receive the money .Stupid isn't it ( in the rent situation I mean)

That's the plan. "Somebody" is purposely making people scared to own properties, while the same "somebody" purchasing all these properties slowly but surely.
@@CA-kj4sf
That's dumb. Whoever did that would be ruining their own future business.
Corporations hate headaches and high overhead.
This happens in a lot of states, unfortunately.
The thing is, these nightmare stories often start with the renter saying, "Hey, can I just stay a few extra days? I'll pay you directly." to which the landlord agrees. The landlord then immediately loses all AirBnB protections since they're no longer under the AirBnB contract. Then getting them out depends on the laws where you live. You don't want to be a landlord with a loose contract in CA.
Or Tacoma WA!
Here in Phoenix an owner of an apartment building that became a drug trap den and he wanted to get the dredges out. He offered to let the local fire department run drills on all the floors of the building making it unbearable. It worked. Thank you for the fantastic video!!! Keep up the great work.
My uncle in Fort Worth rented his house to a young couple, by putting up a note on the Police Station bulletin board. He gave it to Police officers at a big discount, and they always were the best tenants, and the neighborhood got a lot nicer.
She agreed to paying rent to stay in the guest house, then she stopped paying rent. I don't understand why anyone would try to defend her, even if the guest house wasn't up to code. California is the gutter of justice
Truth
10000%
Because there’s so many losers who have bought into class warfare and are so jealous of anyone successful that they justify “the little guy getting even”
Gutter of gutters of gutters of gutters
We are not saying she is right.. we are saying the landlord started it all wrong, no permits for the ADU, etc. If you are in California (like me), you know that Los Angeles city doesn't give short term rental permits to ADUs. If he had permitted his ADU he wouldn't able to get the STR permit to list on Airbnb. So he cut a lot of corners to make it happen illegally.
The thing I don’t understand is if the landlord doesn’t have landlord rights and can’t charge rent how is she considered a tenant and how does she have tenant rights? Just per definitions, a tenant is someone who rents a space and pays rent.
Exactly it doesn’t make any sense
if someone reads this pls provide an answer i legit dont get it
In California, you are legally considered a tenant, whether or not you pay rent.
The judge in this case is supposed to issue a new ruling. It will be interesting to see what happens.
"Somebody" is purposely making people scared to own properties, while the same "somebody" purchasing all these properties slowly but surely.
If it is illegal to occupy then she should be removed. Anyone squatting in my property is stealing from me and my family. They will be removed!
Dam right.
I think "Somebody" is purposely making people scared to own properties, while the same "somebody" purchasing all these properties slowly but surely.
dont get caught
This is where the government is in the wrong, if a place is not legal for occupation they shouldn't be ruling that someone can continue to occupy it.
some states don't see it that way
What the landlord can do is get his buddies to come over and live there for free. Have them make as much noise as possible.
Well, he could do what my then-bf did to get rid of an ex who wouldn't go away; he sat in the living room cleaning his bowie knife. He could have cleaned his Desert Eagle, too. That bf has been my husband for 26 years.
Remove the door and windows.
Does it say hot water in the agreement? No hot water then. What about quantity and quality of water? You can turn down the water pressure and or maybe add some stink or colouring to the water. Right now myself I pay low rent and the landlord doesn't like it so I am under a sonic attack, but you can't photograph sonic, and record sonic (sound). So I can't file any kind of complaint because I got no proof.

After they are on the lease for the entire property.
My Uncle had some real squatters move into his home and claim they rented it furnished from "Joe Smith" (Not a real name), so he asked for the best advice, then printed 10 copies of a ONE Percent purchase contract for the home, gave one copy to each of his 5 big friends, and took the other 5 to the courthouse and registered them. Then they all took their sledgehammers and sleeping bags and went to the house, broke in the barricaded back door the squatters had got in through, and when the cops got there the men had papers and the squatters had nothing. Cops arrested the squatters for threats. House was repaired and sold in a month. After it was all over, her gave a big barbeque, and 100 dollars, to each friend and burned the papers at the BBQ. (His lawyer gave him the advice.)
sounds like a lot of fun
You may not be able to shut off utilities like Internet, but you can slow down the speeds so much that it becomes impossible to do anything online. Just ask a network engineer like me.
You can cut it off and claim ignorance. Change the password access.
You can shut off internet which isn't essential utilities.
If you have a managed network, then you could redirect all the occupier’s traffic to a porn site. Internet is still on, they just cannot go to any other website.

Squat on the squatter, move a friend in with a new lease
Its an Airbnb, you do not need a lease. You just said they booked it for these days. Let your friend stay there for Free. Eat their foods, Fart away, play music as loud as they want.
@prophetseven728 if you have a lease with the "new person" it strengthens your case
This is dangerous - what if the people in the house are violent//have weapons?
@@patriciamitchell9365then, while they're rotting in jail for being violent, you throw their possessions in the garbage and call it a day.
@@patriciamitchell9365Most squatters aren't gang members. It isn't that hard to scare away anyone halfway ordinary. Move in with big, scary dogs, clean your guns in the living room, have your biker friends over every night to party. Even if they aren't Hells Angels, don't you know any big guys with motorcycles? The squatters won't know the difference.
What people keep leaving off this story is that she was booked off the Airbnb platform when her original stay ended. He let her stay on without getting the proper protections: Lease, deposit, credit references, etc. So she wasn't an Airbnb guest at the time she started squatting. she was a former Airbnb guest. He did screw up by not making sure the ADU was legal but also in not getting a lease agreement and deposit. Pretty dumb. That said though, the woman is a leech.
wow, I never knew this, I watched all these videos on the story and no one mentioned. Glad to know.
Finally, someone else mentions it! People keep trying to cite this story against AirBnB or California landlord protections and don't even know the facts. ALWAYS have a contract when you let someone live with you, and have a lawyer look it over, even for some friends--maybe especially.
@@superhitb or just say no, unless she rebooks through AirBnB. You'd contact AirBnB the next day if she doesn't rebook and refuses to leave. That story would be much shorter. Plus, you can always deny someone's request to stay on AirBnB. He wouldn't be obligated to justify why she couldn't stay longer
This woman from what I saw in previous videos has done this many times before at other AirBnb sites.
There was like a week left in the stay and she complained of moistness coming from somewhere. He went in to inspect and told her he would book her a hotel for the rest of the stay so he could fix the damage. She declined saying she was allergic to cats, then refused to move.
He’s not a landlord according to the court. Therefore she is nothing more than an uninvited trespasser. So he can just kick her out.
That's what I was about to say she is just trespassing on his property at that point.
i really dont get that case: IF the guest house has no CoO - it is legally considered a SHED or a WAREHOUSE, right? Yes, you can not "collect rent" from it, but it also means it is NOT a livable space. It's a shed. So how in the world "you cant stop water supply, electricity, heat" etc? It's a freaking shed! I have no obligation to pay for water/sewer in my shed. The fact the CoO is not issued means even the authorities have never confirmed this space CAN be "occupied" (by a human being).
Hol' up ... if the building was not up to code, shouldn't the judge have ruled that the squatter can't live there either?
That's why court cases are always a crap shoot. You just never know how a judge is going to rule.
Judges should know the laws before they try a case.
Judges in the USA seem like part of the mafia
I would fear for my life if I was squatting on someone else's property.
That’s how you know you don’t have an antisocial personality disorder
When I was renting units I always had them sign that all rooms were common areas…that way if they don’t pay rent..I can also have access to all common areas..which is everywhere. Bring my friends over and watch the tv..eat the food…and use the crapper…crawl into bed when they are in bed..lol..they leave after a few days..

My uncle once had a situation where he rented a tiny house to an old lady, and in a few months some piece of shit went to live with her and refuse to pay rent because "he knew the law". Instead of threatening them, he just went to the municipal cemetery and grabbed from the garbage dump a bunch of wreaths (those circle things with flower things people put on graves). The next day, he drove to the house, hang it all over the fence and went to work. During lunch, he drove back there to check it out, and the door was open and the house empty.
Superstition is a hell of a drug.
I am curious why would wreath's scare them off?
@@indiannajames8428 My country is filled with VERY superstitious people, like, the type that make the cross sign when then need to pass a cemetery and believe in all sorts of witchcraft (generally, the poorer the country, the most "ignorant" the people are). And nothing scare them the most as death. Brazil is probably the last place on earth were spiritist and african based religions are still practiced in a significant number. The place is a golden mine for charlatans.
dont rent more than 29 days in cali and tenants won't have protections
YES... I've been telling STR landlords this, for years! (i.e. MAX 29 day, stay!) Notice how (Rocker fella, Aspen Institute funded) ABB, etc. don't even ALLOW, for this!! They had this ALL pre- planned, years... ago, as par.
Always rent by the week !
Just avoid California altogether. Or any blue state for that matter.
According to an article in Newsweek, There is little research about the scale of the issue in the U.S. But areas in Georgia, Florida and Texas had more squatters than other U.S. metropolitan areas, according to a survey by the National Rental Home Council (NRHC).
@@rut8851oh no, not um, the red states. Oh me oh my. But we’ve been blaming blue states and dems and libs.

I have an electronic door lock I change the code remotely after the stay. so as soon as they leave they can't get back in
All these rules against a Landlord that he can't turn off electricity/water etc is against law is contradicting to what the judge just pointed out. He's not a landlord to a property that isn't permitted to be rented out. There for, he should classify it as a storage unit and turn stuff off. Two can play this game.
That goes show you the US has weird laws too.
@@vickynoname9860 I feel that laws protect squatters far more then they do the owners themselves. Owners/landlords shouldn't have to go through hoops to remove a unpaying tenant. What's fair is fair. Pay to stay or don't and get on out. This isn't charity, owners have bills too. Imagine if you're late on your car payment, that gets immediately repo'd if you're late just a couple months.
If he hasn't the right to rent then they have broken into your house and the police have removed them
Yes, I would think that would be acceptable. The landlord should have followed the law and done things the right way. But this person does not have the right to keep on living in a home that they have no right to be in.
he should have leased it as a climate controlled storage unit
This was an incident involving an empty house being occupied by crackheads. A cop told us, dont label the "incident" as a squatters, because sqautters have rights....say, "tresspassing"....then they have a better chance of getting the boot. Of which happened. The cops came in gave them the boot, threatening arrest, they left and never came back.

*Lets you and I go find a nice little mansion with a pool and tennis court and claim squatter rights before they are all taken by other lawful squatters.* 🤣
All considered, it's ridiculous that a judge( in California) is forcing a landlord to subsidise a non paying "tenant"/squatter. It's a scam but she is successfully scamming the system.
Subsidize? Landlords are thieves, so.
I bet if a squatter tried to break in and squat in a corporate property, when they provide their fake lease to the police the corporation will say "that's not from us, we have policies and procedures in place to produce specific leases." Then the police will arrest them for breaking and entering and forgery. A small time individual using a management company probably does not have that luxury. Also the corporate properties can easily take the financial hit from a few squatters, a small time individual cannot. People that think squatters are sticking it to rich landlords are wrong. Squatters only scare off small time individuals from competing with rich landlords.
The law is on the side of the criminal.
Especially if the criminal is a huge corporation. That's why a bank or other big entity can up and declare your property to be theirs and you're the one on the hook to try to prove otherwise, if you can even get any kind of a lawyer.
That's true in blue states
I'm finding this hard to believe. Would the judge actually force a property owner to subsidize a non-paying tenant? She could skyrocket his utilities to heaven with a deal like that. Plus, if this ADU/guest cottage is illegal, why would a judge agree it is okay for her to continue to live there? The politicians need to put the brakes on tenants who scam the system!

@wanderingtwin1900 "The squatter left about the time I put this new concrete patio in."
The neighbor had the house tented for termites. Deadly poison and all doors and windows were opened everything removed from the rooms and cabinets to eliminate staining and health contact harm from laying on treated mattress. Nothing can survive the process, everything living that needs to continue living has to leave.
That process is a con in itself 😅 but could help with the 'pest' invasion
Rent the place to a friend who has a bull mastiff, or a terrarium with snakes, or with scorpions. If the woman continues to stay, remove and hide the snake/scorpion while the woman is out and inform her of the escape when she returns.
Lol. I was thinking of a rat or mouse, but a snake is probably better.

in Mexico i am not so sure about squatter laws concerning STR's . But I do know that there is a guy for EVERYTHING down here . I would pay 4 of the biggest , meanest looking local men to go over to the house and walk right in the house and tell them they have 20 mins to gather up their belongings and get out ... or else . I assure you the problem would be solved . Things are different down here
This would be far more effective than calling the police, which sounds like a huge mistake in California. I think another good play would be to wait until the squatter is out of the house for a while, and then move all of their stuff out and change all the locks.
That is how it should be!
that would work. in mexico you can also tell the squatters that the property is owned or has just been rented to the cartel and they are arriving in about an hour. and if the place is not ready for them that the blame will be put on you (squatter)
Umm if there is no certificate to wllow residency, then why is the tenet not evicted on the grounds that it is not a livable structure legally? Seems someone got oversmart.
I know a guy that will look for rooms that are not up to code (usually a basement) and rent it. He will pay for a few months and then suddenly stop paying. He usually complains that something is wrong in the room and becomes a squatter. The owner that may live in the house or not, then is stuck knowing no one is supposed to be living in the basement to begin with. He realizes he cannot be kicked out because there are no windows or two points of egress (exits). Eventually, when the owner starts to threaten him seriously he calls the fire department and reports the apartment as illegal. He then moves and everyone else in the basement has to move within a few days. He then goes to another illegal basement and does the same thing. He barely ever pays rent and ruins the lives of many homeowners.
I have an awesome lawyer in Illinois who helps me evict bad tenants. It starts with a good rental agreement that voids the agreement on any bad conditions that could happen. Illinois law makes it easy to evict if the tenant doesn't have a valid rental contract.
If the court refuses to recognize the owner as a landlord because they didn’t do you things correctly, then they need to stop referring to the squatter as a tenant. Since the property was never deemed OK to occupy in the first place. This is clearly a judge afraid of facing a human rights issue.
These things do not happen to the homes owned by police officers, judges and politicians. Just saying.

@@ElisaAvigayil I did , but I changed barristas
Dude that's insane. Good for you for getting the police to clear out your unit and leave them with a floor to sleep on.
IN THE OLD DAYS, you just notified the tenant that you had to do some repairs to the external doors on the place, you REMOVED THEM and disappeared
Didn't take them long to figure out they would loose all their shit without doors on the place, and they left. VERY ILLEGAL NOW I assume.
Could you hire a bug exterminating company to tent the place ?
You could decide to install a pool and bring a piece of heavy machinery to dig a hole in the backyard and just accidentally run into the ADU

Crazy to see everyone support the tenant I can’t believe it she’s in the wrong

This isn't a tenant vs owner even though it keeps getting framed that way.
Most people don't support the tenant even if they are on the "other" side of this argument. The tenant is shady. However, the owner ultimately caused this by repeatedly and likely intentionally failing to do his part. Now he doesn't want to take responsibility.

It's not insane at all. The guy was incredibly careless, letting the woman stay after the AirBnB without a clear contract. History is full of people taking advantage of poorly-made agreements--doesn't matter which state or even country. Always have them rebook on AirBnB if they want to stay longer. This would not have been a problem if he'd just done that.
A friend of mine , Ah Hum, lives in a blue state and he used the old emergency clause to evict tenants all the time. It's simply amazing how heating systems or electrical systems can miraculously fail at the most opportune times.
Oh stop lying, or just being stew peed, this is NOT just a blue state issue! This is a very old law, that even the redist states like Texas follow!
Does she ever leave the house? When she leaves change the locks.
You weren’t paying attention
If she did this to me, she would not only get out of the property, but she would quite literally DISAPEAR!!

Well done. I had some people talk to squatters once. In forceful terms. Large people. Of a certain ethnic group. The squatters left. Fast.

I (as a sophisticated actor) would rent it to some outlaw bikers legit for a dollar a month with the understanding that there were squatters in the house and they must be willing to coexist with the squatters until the squatters leave then the bikers must be willing to leave. I'd tell the bikers to eat, drink and be merry while they were there, co occupy the bedrooms share the towels bathrooms etc...
I hear bikers like beer.
Ask what is their favorite brand and keep the kegs coming.
You don't want outlaw bikers unless you're one of them. Believe me. Don't you know any big guys with motorcycles? Or even big guys with big trucks and guns, add in a few big scary dogs. The guys can clean their guns in the living room. It's even better if they have beards and tattoos, but tattoos are just a bonus. They're easy to fake with temps. I know a couple of enormous men with beards and big dogs and guns AND motorcycles, one of whom is my son (who has a flaming skull tattoo on his head) and one is my husband's oldest friend (who's 6'5"). Both are the sweetest guys, but the squatter wouldn't know that. They're loud, they drink beer, they have big gun collections and my son has 5 huge dogs. Sounds like fun.
If he can't collect rent because there is no certificate of occupancy, he isn't a landlord. Therefore, he doesn't have to provide what a landlord would provide.
For an airbnb isn't anyone who stays less than 30 days just a trespasser if you want them gone? It's like when a hotel needs to remove a bad guest. The police will assist in that case. It's only when they secure tenant rights that a problem can occur right?
Depends on state laws and what police will do.
It wasn't an AirBnB when this happened. The problem arose because the rental ended, and the guy let her stay a little longer off the books, so he lost all the AirBnB landlord protections.
In my state, it is 2 weeks (14 full days) with proof to establish. So a self-mailed letter can work. Sad times.
Although I am in favor of ALWAYS do things correct and in line with the rules and regulation, it is also VERY frustrating that tenants who "use" the system to their benefit have more rights than a person who paid for his house and guesthouse. ....even if technically its an illegal guesthouse, its still his property and the law should always be in favor of the paying property owner.
The US is no longer a business-friendly country.
So the lady that won't move out, can the landlord claim her as a dependent on his taxes?
So why can't the owner just bulldoze the "guest house" if it has no CoO and they are technically not a landlord? It is a "bad structure" and not to code, so should come down, right?
Yes very good video. Don't cut corners! Stay within protection of law.
If he didn't get permits to build it, then it is illegal to occupy it, and it can't legally be used as a residence, and it can't legally have any utility service.
Interesting Sean but you are not an attorney. A good attorney can find a way. One flaw that I see is that if the unit is NOT CODE approved then the permit office can require them to leave. Also AR bb is a contract and she is still liable for the balance. A good attorney will find a loophole.
He extended her stay off of airbnb. So that contract ended so he doesn’t have that argument sadly for him. But you’re correct.
@@AirbnbAutomated Then it became an oral contact at that point. With these examples, I can see where many owners do not like California. Thanks
Yes sweetheart! Say it! I went to lawschool. Sean is setting himself up for future problems, speaking on topics he isn't fully educated on.
@@sharonsalman2675
Where I’m from, we don’t have laws. I would force her out and deal with the legal consequences later. The police do not have jurisdiction to arrest the landlord or force a tenant back in since it’s a civil matter
I believe every action has a consequence. Personally I would find a quick loop hole and get them out immediately. If I mis-stepped it's on me. That's why I have a business Attorney and wouldn't allow this to go past 1 day. I've been in the business for 9 years and I would NEVER allow a tenant to use the system against me. I would tear the building down bf I allow that.
It's unfortunate! Had the same chat with colleagues and that guest would be out no later then 4hrs past checkout.
She used Covid and the amended landlord tenant laws to squat. The host was probably too busy with a full time job to nip this in a timely manner and here we are.
To all the hosts out there, be careful. STR isn't welcomed so the system will most likely NOT side with you.
Their are alot of moving parts to this case. I wouldn't be surprised if the court system uses this host as an example. I also will not be surprised if this case is overturned.
Just Google weird laws in random states, just bc its a law doesn't mean it's not violating a constitutional right.. laws change because they don't work for the collective. Example STR laws.
Thank you so much for the tips! Multiple airbnbs on our city street are becoming a nuisance - a plague of noisy partying urchins who would never think of making their own home an airbnb! Anything to know, stifle, and discourage them besides always calling the police for disturbing the peace is much appreciated!
If this building is not supposed to be occupied, then it is not supposed to have any utilities going to it, so in this case, yes he can shut off the utilities because they were not permitted in the first place.
Well if the judge says the guest house is not a guest house because the surgeon never got permits then it's just a box in the back yard and you can turn the utilities off. It can't be treated like a rental if it has not permits.
It doesn’t matter how one chooses to start a rental. Squatters are imposing themselves in other peoples property. Plain wrong‼️ People without a home can ask people selling their house if they can stay free & they’ll take care of it till it sells, then do it again with out imposing.
Watched the first 2 mins. That's enough for me. If you don't pay, you shouldn't be able to trespass and inhabit someone's property without their consent. The laws need to be that simple.
I had a landlord in Austin that refused to fix any of the items in the house that were very worn out, such as all of the windows leaking. I stayed there for ten years and took care of the place as it was my own. When I left, he didn't give me my deposit back and said he had to use it to fix damaged items. The items he claimed were damaged were due to his own cheapness and neglect. There were holes in the sheet rock when I moved in that he said "i'll just waive the cleanup fee for you" about..... I repaired them myself even though I had nothing to do with them. He charged me for that.
I wanted to sue him but i digressed. I don't know what I could have gotten out of the deal or how I could have proven that he neglected the property while I lived in it.
I just use my deposit as my last month's rent so they can't screw me like that. They're never happy about it, but what can they do? If you leave the place in Good condition, there's no reason for them to steal your deposit anyway.
@@beatrixbrennan1545 Fortunately that experience lit the fire under me to go buy a house. If I have to ever rent anything again I will definitely not make the same mistakes of letting them eat my deposit like that. His greed got him $900 extra dollars (I know .... 2010 rental prices in Austin) but it cannot buy his dignity or clean spirit.
@@kr4dh4x0r Amen! Threes thieves will hey what's coming to then.
Video and photo evidence along with notes with date recorded
It's really that simple and it's admissible for evidence in small claims court
@@hotsauceislethal Will definitely do that in the future..... especially since I intend to own some rental properties at some point.
There's that new character who went and got a signed lease from the owner and moved in with the squatters. He installed security cameras and basically made life hell for the squatters. In court his lease was recognized over the false lease of the squatters and they were evicted.
"Somebody" is purposely making people scared to own properties, while the same "somebody" purchasing all these properties slowly but surely.
WEF- you will own nothing and be happy-
@@ocean12 That’s exactly what I was referring to!
Oprah at it again 😂
Methinks that surgeon had better paint his own home's roof blue, & soon
This is the end of people renting, nobody's going to want to rent to anyone.
Officer I'm not sure who this man is standing outside my home with his suitcases in hand. I have a guesthouse but it is all boarded up to prevent against break-ins. Could you tell this homeless man to stop harassing me?
So if you cut corners and dont have a legal cert of occupancy, how then can someone squat legally in a place that is illegal to occupy?
Good video, very informative.
Quick question on that Doctor with the unpermitted AirBnB. If the structure is unpermitted why hasn't there been a notice posted as not fit for habitation by the inspection department and squatters forced to move out, hmm?
i think the just the shower was not permitted from what I recall
There is a guy in California who agrees to squat in a rental, when the original squatter is not at home. I believe he asks for a rental agreement, but I'm not sure
If he gets the squatters out, he the collects a fee.
Since he has just as equal if not greater claim to the house as a "squatters/renter" the squatter can't get the cops to kick him out. He even invites five or six of his big buddies over every night so that he's protected.
If he doesn't have a CFO for code violations, she is not allowed to occupy the premises.
I think you are a Hero, and hope other people with these problems follow your example and take all there stuff out.
I rented out my basement apartment (I lived in the upper level) and the tenant stopped paying rent. While she was out for the day, I changed the locks and boarded up the windows. I saw her come home later that day, park her car and go around the house to her apt. and then a few minutes later, get in her car and leave. The next morning at 6 AM, cops came to my house and arrested me and I spent the day in jail waiting to get bailed out. She also sued me in civil court for $8K but I ended up settling for $2K plus attorney's fees. I learned a valuable lesson of what NOT to do!
Now, I choose tenants VERY carefully!
Your mistake was not going through legal channels. Notice, then 30 days to reply, then forced eviction (removing her stuff, changing locks).
@@wintersbattleofbands1144 Yup, you are right, I did not go through legal channels. Lesson learned!
Shouldnhavr left the country.. for a while
Can someone please please explain why he can't kick a person out WHY a person with no valid contract cannot be evicted from someone's property? Because, her contract is up, no?
The basic human right to shelter is protected. You cannot waive your/others human rights. Even if a contract was signed. So existing in a dwelling for any real period affords you the human right to reside. No matter how you got there
@@AirbnbAutomated WOW. That is insane. So, in Cali, if I somehow manage to sneak into someones house, from then on, I'm entitled to stay there and the law is even in my house? Not sure if this sounds more amazing or horrendous haha.
Glad I'm not a landlord, especially in CA.
It is Beyond Insane that supposedly even a Dead Body cannot be removed!
Can you turn rats loose? Or can you act like a ghost during the night, like in a Scooby Doo episode?
Damn kids! *shakes fist*

"I decided to turn my land into an urban farm. Bees are great pollinators." Ummmm these are hornets. "Well, this is my first year farming, how should I know?"
I don't have an airbnb but I still found this really interesting
I was taught your roof over your head should be your most important payment. I have a young kid living above me, has a job that pays better than mine, has not paid rent in 11 months! Our landlord is the nicest landlord you could ask for. Anything goes wrong ( which happens rarely) and he is right here to fix it. He's taken him to court several times and the judge just gives him more time to pay and he still pays nothing. Even though I barely make it paycheck to paycheck, I still pay my rent. Sickening. And who does snow shoveling? Not him. He'll watch a 65 yr old woman do it! He never puts his garbage out to the curb. Just spends his money on partying and playing. Lazy is what he is! This world has gotten ridiculous! Integrity doesn't matter I guess.
Can the owner go to the city and get code enforcement to say the unit is uninhabitable? Would it then be illegal for anyone to live there until he makes the appropriate repairs and gets a certificate of occupancy? It will cost him but she will be out.
You would be asking code enforcement to commit fraud.
In Texas it’s pretty simple get the eviction which is pretty much automatic then move their sh$t to the front curb.
If a guest decides to stay longer and wont move out. Can you not just file a no trespassing order for the property? I would think if same day or next day past their stay this should be in your rights?
Yes, you have ways to get a problematic tenant out, but you need an enforceable contract in place between you and the renter to do that. This guy let her stay without a clear contract after the AirBnB ended.
I don't understand.. if the guest house is not approved for occupancy then how does the squatter have tenant's rights?
Can't remove doors or windows? Nothing says you cannot remove the roof!
This just goes to show you once again that the justice system is not for the victim it never was intended to even protect the victim it always protects the perpetrator always😅
1. Rent skunk in small cage 2. Go to door of area to impact 3. Open door 4. Rile skunk to point in that direction 5. Squatters exit within minutes....
then your place and all your stuff stinks like skunk for months
@@FractalPrism. The cleanup would still cost less than the legal battles, yes?
Nah skunk only lasts days. Ask me how I know….🙄
I know someone who purchased skunk scent and piped in the scent through a tiny hole he drilled. The person couldn't figure out where the smell kept coming from and vacated within week.
It's good to hear this perspective on that illegal landlord/squatter situation. I had an issue with mold in my (Florida) apartment's A/C. I called and called. Maintenance came multiple times and tried to patch the problem. I found the Florida statute that said a landlord has to resolve a black mold problem. The tenant can withhold rent and the landlord would get penalties. I wrote a letter to the property manager citing the law and the problem was fixed promptly. The property manager tried to tell me that I was imagining the problem. I said, "No m'am. I've purchased a $700 air purifier and I've doubled up on my asthma prescrption." I reported her to corporate. She suddenly disappeared from the onsite management office. Hmmmm.
They would be outta there so fast their head would NOT have time to spin😂😊😊
If it's not to code, without a certificate, he's legally not a landlord. The owner can ABSOLUTELY shut off the utilities and start disassembling it, starting with the windows and doors.
what part of 22 with a silencer arent you getting ?
The receiving end
I love the part where you keep saying: "YOU CANNOT DO THIS, YOU CANNOT DO THIS....BLAH BLAH BLAH" This is my home, they will be removed forcibly.
