Squatter breaks in and sells most everything in the house while owner is away

The New York Post:

Squatters turned a Texas woman’s home into a “drug den” and sold her possessions at a yard sale — but police told her they couldn’t do anything about it.

Terri Boyette was in Florida caring for her sick mother when a friend called to tell her someone had squatted her Dallas-area home.

She had previously hired workers to renovate her house, but after she left a painter had broken in and wrecked the place, leaving crack pipes in her oven and needles in a drawer, Boyette told The Post.

It took six months for Boyette to get her home back and now she says her belongings have been either damaged beyond repair or sold, with her bed now situated in the backyard, a bike and scooter in her shower and trash and dirty dishes all over the home.

“All my stuff has been sold through the yard sale and online,” Boyett said, adding: “Apparently he was letting people rent from him.”

Boyette had told the workers to leave before she left for Florida, but the squatter broke in and wouldn’t leave.

Once her friend alerted her to the situation, Boyette called the police to report the break-in, but claims she was told because the squatter had been there for more than ten days she would have to evict him.

Boyette tried to evict the squatter herself with the help of an attorney she hired.

People are going to die over this nonsense.

It’s no surprise since basically every policy progressives conjure up results in the loss of human life.

The hell he wouldn't. He'd leave willingly or be carried out, his choice.

How is something like this remotely acceptable anywhere in America?

This may very well be the response concerning these criminals at some point:

We are going to start seeing vigilantes if our politicians and police offers don't get off their arse and do something soon. I'm surprised we haven't seen it already.

This is just another drop in the bucket of left-wing policy failures that are sweeping the nation, putting honest, hard-working Americans in debt and danger. It’s not surprising, really; after all, the Biden regime seems more worried about protecting criminals through their “Defund the Police” and “Bail Reform” disasters. And now, we’ve got this growing squatter mess. We’re living in an upside-down clown world where career criminals like George Floyd are hailed as heroes while thugs and illegals exploit our unjust laws and punish hardworking American citizens. And through it all, our inept and complacent government is giving them a helping hand. Sickening. This country is in a freefall.


Holy shite what a rambling and incoherent melt

These people hate capitalism and private property.

We aren’t far from killing the farmers and taking their land.

I don't think these laws are particularly new.

These situations absolutely suck, but the laws on the books aren't some new progressive policy. Yeah some states/cities like NY/NYC and CA/LA/SF have much stronger tenant protection laws, but the basics of lease, possession, eviction, etc. are pretty similar across the country, state to state.

The laws are not new. People shamelessly abusing them is new. Time for new laws like Florida.

Simple fix for this - all leases should be e-filed at a courthouse. Call police, they pull lease electronically, if person inside is not on the lease / deed, then forcibly remove that person.

If leases had to be notarized this would just be called what it actually is: a home invasion.
