Occupants will move their asses when the bulldozers show up.

Squatters. Had someone stop by when there were neighbors on the street getting foreclosed/evicted and the house was being sold out from under them.

Was told by one guy that buying the house wasn't an immediate eviction notice and that he usually used some official letterhead looking stuff as a passive aggressive way to get people out.

Was a fascinating experience to watch unfold.

Yeah, I'm not sure anyone will take the sellers up on the offer to purchase their squatter problem.

You've got to look at it more like a squatter "opportunity".

That realtor should lose their license for even taking that listing. Shameless profession

Why do we continue this façade and pretend that people shouldn't be forcibly removed from property that they do not own?

Can people who stop paying their mortgage just remain in the home, claim to be squatters and not face ramifications?

What’s crazy is that you would go to jail for it,

I have no idea why our laws have made it possible for squatters to ever exist.

I've said this before on here but there were only two times I had to "evict" someone when I had rental properties.

Both times it was when someone went two months without paying. I went about it the same way both times.

They left for work or wherever one morning, I go over there and change all the locks, and pack everything they own in that house and put it by the street and send them a text that says "Hey all your stuff is out by the street, you might want to come get it before the trash people come."

Both times they came and got their stuff and I never heard from them again.

I dare someone to tell me to let them back in my house that they stopped paying rent on.

More and more in this country, you are not only not rewarded, you actually get penalized for doing the right thing.

Sad to see.

That reads like a tv commercial by Saban on renting his house.

This reads like a scam listing.

The problem here is the seller (who likely has no rights in, or relationship to, the property) and not the presumed squatters.

You can glean enough from the public records (as well as the "expired MLS listing") to throw this out there hoping some dingbat "investor" wants a deal.

I saw a story the other day about how sophisticated some of these squatters have become. They know the law better than the cops in many cases. They will make fake lease agreements. They will fool the utility company into putting their names on utility bills. Cops basically don't know who to believe so they just chalk it up to a civil matter & tell them to settle it in court which obviously can take months or years.
