      Yes, they do need to change. Anyone that thinks it's ok to leave a house abandoned should lose it. Period. You can't just leave it for a million years then come out of no where and expect it to be there. What if it caught on fire? What if it started to break down and the foundation is falling on the neighbors house? It's all kinds of dangers with just leaving your house so why make your neighbors deal with that? It's very irresponsible and they should lose the property. I used to be on the owners side until I witnessed this in my neighborhood. Mf trying to come from down South so many years later and upset that water damage destroyed the whole house. Well, you wasn't around dummy. There are other things that can happen to your house aside from a squatter. Then this lady just goes back down South And do nothing to help her neighbor. That water went on to his side as well but he was always living in his house so it didn't tear up the foundation but he still had to spend money for some kind of sealing work. She needs to lose this house. It's a danger. Tf.

Got a witness after 30 days overdue and took of the front and back doors 😂😂😂 the delinquents came home raised hell called the cops and we watched them from the surveillance. Cops say it’s a civil matter they can’t take sides. When the owner/ my friend showed up with evidence that they didn’t pay and were rude on txt about it the cops went against them saying but you owe rent you said you didn’t owe 😂😂😂 then they offered to pay on the spot and my friend said nah leave!!! They ended up moving out stat!! you have to be ballsy and put your foot down. see how shes laughing like its funny

And in the case of a HOMEOWNER, there is almost literally zero cases like this, since a HOMEOWNER would have to actually INVITE the people to live there first, in direct contrast to the completely unrelated situation of a mere owner of a property.

    Why is it the squatters have more rights than the actual homeowners. This pisses me off and the laws need to change. Also fed up where the squatters claim to be the actual victims. There was one squatter who took the home of someone who died and pulled this same stunt. After he was thrown into jail the squatter sued the family for a lot of money for things like mental anguish and so on and when the homeowners didn’t show up for their court date the squatter WON his lawsuit. When the homeowners went to a local news station they did some digging just to find out that the papers served to the homeowners for their court date was “served” at the courthouse and not to the homeowners and the man who said he served the papers was actually in jail at the time so the homeowners were NEVER notified of the lawsuit. The judge was pissed and reversed his original decision and if I remember correctly it was ruled that the squatter isn’t allowed to file any lawsuits without the courts permission. Absurd!

    If she isn't paying rent she can use that money to move.
    I always say if this ever happened to one of my rental properties I would definitely install security cameras with notifications inside and outside of the home.
    If I didn't have cameras I would stake out my own home and wait until everyone is gone, break into my own home have a lease/deed on hand. I'd quickly change the locks and have a crew there to move that mess out. If I see any documents I'm shredding them immediately especially if it's a copy of the fake lease they are using. I know this is a lot but it will work faster than what the judge will do.

    3) change locks
    4) dump items quickly. Get as many people as possible to help. They probably have minimal junk.
    5) if squatter comes back with police, you show you own property. Nobody was living in there except friends people known to you. The squatter is crazy/on drugs/delusional and attempting a break in. If they try to take you to court (they won't) it's your word against them.

    I wish I was related to the homeowner. Because I would get a REAL LEGIT lease from her, sign it, and stake out the place, wait until the squatter leaves, then back in the driveway with my uhaul or whatever, get in some how, even if I have to break in, because the squatter may have changed the locks, and start moving my things in. Put all of her things beside the street, but id it's illegal to do that, then we will all just be loving together and I PROMISE YOU, that she would be begging to move out after living with me. Because I would make it hell! I wouldn't harm the children tho, I am no monster, but this couldn't be my property. Because we would definitely take care of this ourselves. The system sucks tho, at least here in Florida, if they get mail at an address, they legally live there and you would have to legally evict them. That is B.S. Because anyone could send mail to ANY address! SMDH!

At that point u should have access to the house RECORD EVERYTHING when u evict this person and explain why….u are evicting them
      If u have to go to the neighborhood and get in contact with old neighbors explain what’s occurring and dig information through these neighbors. Going down there would make it easier for everybody to be on your side…when ur evicting this person. Whatever u do DO NOT FEEL SORRY…they didn’t respect or take u serious after ur parents passing DO NOT PLAY WITH THESE PEOPLE on behalf of your parents
      DO NOT LEAVE u might have to move in or move somebody in make sure they have a weapon and carry conceal until u move all this person stuff out on the street….what can they do at that point? ITS COLD 🥶 but you’ll have your parents house back

    But because property taxes are so high in chicago owners could miss the next installment, an eviction notice would be issued, the sherif would remove them in 30 days and the property would go up for auction. And if it didn't go back to the rightful owner they could sue the county for negligence.

    If the occupants of the home didn’t show up the owner has immediate possession. She needs to make an appointment with the sheriff to get them out.

    Whoever owns the house should just have the utilities cut off
