standoff with squatters by LordSaintly

I will NEVER understand the concept of "squatter's rights".

Why do these blue states allow this




It's not just Blue states. Also it's not just America. I've seen it happen in Britain as well.

On one hand, squatters will always have some sort of rights for the same reason your kids have rights to live with you. THe law recognizes that there are non-agreement people living with the mortgage/deed holder. Such as kids, grandparents, domestic help, etc...

The problem is in more liberal jurisdictions, the bleeding hearts have taken it too far as usual. Their laws recognize a view that essentially says "it is worse to kick a homeless person out of an otherwise unoccupied house that the owner doesnt' regularly check on than it is to protect that person's property rights".

The laws in those jurisdictions were probably originally written to prevent predatory lessors from preying on tenants of little means or ability to fight back. But that also happens to protect predatory squatters, too.

IN many blue jurisdictions, the presumption is against the moneyed and for the "downtrodden".

This is insane. They entered someone else's property and claimed it as their own. What good does it do to own anything surrounded by these maniacs?? This goes against the rules of a civil society.

Just more proof that NYC is a communist-led cesspool. Avoid it at all costs.

Sorry but no way would I ever allow this to happen. Get 10 or so good buddies, frozen paintballs with paintball guns, middle of the night go in hard. Done.

It does not sound like she’ll be happy owning nothing, WEFers.

They could choose not to enforce these laws just like they choose not to enforce immigration laws.

The statutes are based on common law precepts going back hundreds of years. These are not new concepts.

They call cops. You not only have to deal with them still living in your house and months and months of legal proceedings to try and get them evicted, now you also get arrested and charge with crimes that you now have to deal with even more legal proceedings for.

Not sure you thought this through if you think frozen paintballs are going to get the squatter to fear you and leave and never return.

They died, likely over 100 years ago.

This is literally happening everywhere. And as others have said, it's based on old legislation/laws that actually served a purpose at one point.

The larger issue is that legislators COULD fix these issues but choose not to do so.

geez. just shoot them and go bury the bodies. No one would know they were missing anyway.
I agree with the first part, but walk in to your property, shoot them, call 911/police, "I walked into my home and there was somebody in the house. He started screaming and coming at me with a (kitchen knife/bat/golf club..., whatever you've got available). I thought he was going to kill me."

A. an intruder in your property.
B. police don't know if the person is a squatter or intruder.
C. You're allowed to protect yourself AND your property.
D. frick 'em.
