The house next to us is empty, abandoned for years but in great shape. Yesterday people came by, checked it out, went in it and said they plan to move in. I asked about the owner and they said they don't know him or need his permission.They claim sovereign citizenship, lol.

We don't know who owns it. We don't want squatters there. I think an old lady owns it but went into a nursing home. Her stuff is still in there.We cut the grass and keep it nice looking.

What are Louisiana laws on squatting? How can we prevent this?

NB4 the obligatory 'anything gingerkittie posts or experiences is trashy'.

You can laugh all you want but it’s real. How can a group of people just claim to start a country and take away the rights of everyone who doesn’t agree?

You got a shite storm coming. I'd start chucking feral cats in there and whatever else to dissuade them from taking over. Police wont do jack either.

I’m not much help other than saying at least this is happening in Louisiana and not California or another state where they have more rights than actual tenants

Have the family call the police as soon as the squatters try to enter/live there.

Call the parish tax assessor and find the owner and contact information.

I'd make sure the family knows what's taking place.

I don't know the details in all of this, but these situations can actually end up in legal battles...

There was a big story on this in New Orleans last summer. The frickers that do this know just enough of the law to keep the police from intervening.

I would start off by calling the Sheriff's Office and the Constable's Office. They are the ones who deal with this kind of thing.

Play dirty.

When they go in, find an opening somewhere and start spraying pepper spray or mace in there and quietly walk away.

They will get out

You definitely need to play some offense. Whatever you do, keep in mind that they will have a crap bucket that will eventually need to be emptied.
