Where it becomes an issue is when squatters lie and say they had a verbal agreement with the owner or something. Cops won't touch that usually unless they are 100% certain the person is lying.

Or they have bogus paperwork as proof of ownership.

This POS has been remodeling the home in a half arse manner according to the owner.

This is not correct. An occupant can't stop an eviction proceeding by "claiming ownership."

Yes it will. A deed clears up ownership questions and again in LA an owner can evict simply saying he wants his house back. It's why month-to-month leases get signed when an owner thinks a tenant may be an issue. It makes it easier to evict for any reason even if the tenant has been paying rent.

No court is going to tell the legal owner he can't have his house back.


quote:

I think he may have a receipt for paying the taxes



Doesn't matter as long as the owner pays him back for the taxes paid on his behalf he has no legal claim.


quote:

Purchasers of a tax sale property get a limited title to the property that is subject to redemption. The property owner has some time to catch up on payments to get full ownership of the property. Owners of property sold as part of a tax sale can pay off their delinquent taxes. This helps them regain full ownership of the property. Redeeming a tax sale is the process of paying off a tax lien or deed that is on a property due to unpaid taxes.

If the property owner redeems the property they can get all their rights back. If they do not, the tax sale buyer can then get all the rights to the property.

The owner of the property who pays back all costs of redemption may get a Certificate of Redemption. This gives them full rights to the property again.

And what’s weird is how often you hear stories exactly like it where the criminal trespassers are treated better than the actual owners.



Those stories are mostly in CA. All of the states I have performed evictions in are fairly easy including NY.

Well yes you can legally acquire a property by paying back taxes but that’s different than someone squatting and setting up utilities. Now if there is more to the story than what is in the op and isn’t posted that’s a different story. They do not have rights to sell it with what is posted. And anyone can setup utilities, that’s no different than when someone rents and setup utilities without owning. Two different things.

Yeah we're talking a judgement of possession. Then sheriff puts you in possession of the property. I've had to do this on a couple of houses I bought at sheriff sale.

I’m sorry but if you try this BS you should get whatever comes to you. An arrest, a cracked skull, whatever.

frick that, if the real owners went in there with a gun and shoot the sons of bitches, they would just be protecting their property right?
no, if the squatters have something with their name and that address on it - then the law assumes it’s their residence

This has happened in my neighborhood twice, but luckily the crackheads weren’t smart enough to put anything in their name

Wait...are you saying the squatter has a judgment of possession from paying one year of property taxes? I have never heard of that before.

The redemption period in Louisiana is three years after the date the tax sale certificate was recorded meaning the actual owner has a right to reimburse him for the taxes paid and retain his property.

Yes the owner would still have the ability to pay the taxes if that’s the situation.

Easier said than done. They could go in there and get killed themselves or the same cops who won’t do anything arrest them. fricked up world right now where the shitheads benefit more than the good guys.



That's true, but it would be tempting. Just the idea someone can go set up shop in someone's home and do this shite is insane.

And then I am sure going through the legal process doesn't happen quick. I am going to have to educated myself more on this law because... How isn't a homeowner not protected?

Many variables with laws that protect squatters. Again I’m just going off op, I didn’t read the actual link.

Edit: read the article

Doesn’t look like a tax issue and don’t know how cops can’t do anything as they’re on parole for the same thing. Also kinda surprised with them being serial squatters the utilities are serving them.

He is talking about a writ of possession issued after a Sheriff's Sale to kick the occupants out of the house that was sold at auction.

This guy did the same thing in my subdivision back in 2019. Squatted in an empty $1m home (a bank repo if I recall). The guy wouldn’t let agents show the house claiming he owned it. EBRSO arrested him, and had all his shite taken out. The guy gets out, moves back in, and gets arrested again.

Normal homeless squatters usually leave once the police get involved in my experience.

The "sovereign citizen" assholes are the ones that create fake paperwork and make people go through all the hoops to get them out.
