This might just be the dumbest and most infuriating law in existence.
What if I told you a city cop could pull you over for no reason, take all your shite for no reason including your cash and vehicle, not arrest you or charge you with any crime, and you'll never get your property back?

That's why you shoot the adults first and save the children for last. Kids likely aren't going to be much of a problem after the first round goes off.

He'd actually be doing society a favor, because all you do by legally evicting them is allow them to move on to the next house and do the same thing. I'd give him a standing ovation in court. As far as 99% of the population is concerned, they are forcibly taking his stuff. He's not obligated to let people rob him

So how is occupied defined?
If I'm clearly living there but go on a week long vacation, can they legally enter the home and make it their own?
Or does this only apply to vacant rental properties and vacation homes that are not currently in use?

So this is only in certain states right? Something like that happens only because the homeowner allows it to happen. I bet they leave at gunpoint.
We could just wheel you in and have you start droning off one of your inane stories. They’ll leave a cloud of dust trying to get away

I would bet there is no realistic scenario where they can get away with this in your actual home. I'm sure a law school professor could come up with a good hypo for an exam, but in real life I doubt it

Yeah, but then what do you bring in to get rid of the OweO?

I’m pretty sure that would be burglary in Louisiana. And I’m pretty sure they would not have any squatter’s rights if they’d been there less than a year.
Yea these short term squatter situations are not a problem in Louisiana.

I guarantee they wouldnt stay when I returned. I would be banging pots and pans in their ears 24/7 until the left

I believe it was happening in New Orleans for a while, but I haven't heard anything in a few years

Getting them out isn't as easy as some of you are making it out to be. Once they're in, they have rights. You can't just break in and shoot them
Posted on 8/21/19 at 3:27 pm to Hammertime
Perhaps under a forgery in deed/title, or just general apathy/incompetence on the part of the municipality’s law enforcement.
But generally speaking Louisiana property law is unique to us and does not work this way. Sleeping in someone’s house for a couple months without their consent or knowledge gets you nothing at all in the way of rights.

Not everywhere. Louisiana gives zero credence to squatters rights unless they possess the property uninterrupted for ten years (and that’s in good faith, which clearly squatters do not have). Bad faith takes 30 years
A proper owner in Louisiana may simply show title and that’s the ball game for squatters. Call the cops, they will be evicted.

Claim it was a home invasion and I was acting in self defense.
Yep. Step one: call 911. State your address and that you returned home and the door is ajar; there is someone in your home. State "I believe they are armed, oh my God they are coming right at me!"
Step two: hastily hang up phone mid-scream.
Step three: shoot every single squatter until they stop moving.
Step four: sit on front porch unarmed and with hands visible until cops show up.
Step five: in any castle doctrine state, you aren't charged. Sue the families of said squatters for PTSD, pain and suffering. Call serv-pro for clean up. Remodel with the new cash.
Step Six: Profit.

I first read that as "squirters rights."
