Try that in Texas and your liable to catch lead poisoning.
Let my Black ass try that shit and I know I’ll be kicked out, arrested and probably sued.
I don't understand,how a person or group of people can break into an owner's home and claim they're a tenants and states around the country side with them. Last time,I checked it was breaking and entering a person's house and that's illegal...
I find this shit crazy to me...
And,these people have more rights than home owners...

I live in a landlord friendly state so I never had to deal with squatters but there are definitely methods to get people out your property.
That shit would not fly with me at all.
You can pay a work "crew" to rip off all the doors, take out the outside a/c unit or cut off the power line the ground going to the property.
Here's one of the methods of a crew ripping off the doors.

That cool until you get yours
white people bs
There should be law separating from squatter and people who are having issues with landlords. This squatter thing is getting a little out of hand, especially very populated areas. And the other elephant in the room is you have people squatting on other peoples land that’s the other part to this equation that they’re going to have to tackle soon.
Glad I got niggas to handle this if it comes up. I even got a "rape bonus" built into the gig.

FLUSHING, Queens (WABC) -- A man featured in a 7 On Your Side investigation into squatters has been arrested and faced a judge in Queens County Criminal Court Thursday morning.
Prosecutors are charging Brian Rodriguez with burglary, grand larceny, and other crimes.
(Video in media player is from previous report)
"Criminal charges will be pursued when you unlawfully occupy someone else's home," said Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz.
A 7 On Your Side Investigation that aired in March caused the Queens District Attorney to launch its own investigation which led to the charges a month later.
Adele Andaloro says Rodriguez and others moved into the Flushing Queens home she inherited from her mother in the middle of the night on February 6th and refused to leave. She was in the process of selling the property.
She noticed the problem when she showed up to the house to see the front door and locks had been changed.
"I'm really fearful that these people are going to get away with stealing my home," Andaloro told Eyewitness News when the investigation first aired.
Anddaloro gained access to her home and changed the locks. Minutes later, Brian Rodriguez pushed through the door and called the cops on her while cameras were rolling.
In New York, squatters have rights after 30 days. It's against the law for homeowners to change the locks, remove their belongings or shut off the utilities. It's handled as a civil court matter in the state, so police can't remove squatters.
After a standoff between Rodriguez and Andaloro, police arrived and arrested the homeowner for changing the locks. Even though Rodriguez provided no lease or proof that he's legally allowed to be there.
"It's not fair that I, the homeowner, has to be going through this," said Andaloro.
Rodriguez told Eyewitness News he had a lease with a realtor he wouldn't name and he refused to provide a copy. Instead, he showed receipts for work he claimed he had done to the home.
"How it ends is, she pays me my money that I put in the house," said Rodriguez. "Pay me the money and I'll leave or send me to court it's that simple," he said.
When Eyewitness News arrived, multiple people were in the house. One of those men said he was renting a room from Rodriguez.
The unlawful eviction charge against Andaloro was eventually dropped and the Queens DA began investigating Rodriguez.
At least four lawmakers have filed legislation since the 7 On Your Side Investigation first aired to make it easier for police to remove squatters and to document how often it's happening. One bill was filed by a NYC council member and 3 senators have filed legislation as well.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Governor Kathy Hochul signed a portion of the New York State budget Monday morning that will change the way tenants are defined in state law.
Lawmakers say it will make it easier for police to intervene in squatting cases instead of having to take them to housing court.
The new law takes effect immediately and comes over a series of 7 On Your Side Investigations into the growing problem.
Over the weekend, both the State Assembly and the State Senate passed the new bill. It is a small change that lawmakers say will have a big impact.
They voted to change the state's property law stating, "a tenant should not include a squatter." They are hoping it makes it easier for police to intervene in cases when someone enters a home without permission or legal paperwork instead of having to take them to housing court.
7 On Your Side Investigates has reported on numerous cases of accused squatters - including one that was criminally charged last weekend in Queens. After the reports, at least four lawmakers filed anti-squatting legislation, which led to a last-minute compromise over the weekend.
"Included within our budget is language that will exclude squatters from tenancy rights and define squatters under the law which is a key component of the legislation we spoke about last time," said Senator Blumencranz.
"I think it's incredibly important that journalism runs its court in cases like this," said Blumencranz. "So many of my constituents have been suffering in silence and if we don't voice these issues like this in the news then none of this would've been elevated to the state budget just three weeks after the reporting you did here," he said.

So homeless can take a home by squatting. I am surprised no one has been killed because of this stupid shit.
A handful of people has been killed here and there, but like I said some of these homeless people are taking advantage of this situation so something had to be done. I am all for helping homeless people but at the same time they can’t just move into someone house and live there without notifying/renting from the owner.
Strange thing is that law makers should have common sense. Looks like it mostly con artist and not homeless that are taking advantage of this. If a lot of jews were faced with squatters problem the law would be changed right away. New York is a state where jews got unlimited power and control of.
That is correct and that’s the shame of this is some people been duped into renting homes that the renter don’t own the home and they just took the renter money and disappeared
They should sue the law makers for what happened to a family member because of that law mess.
Damn they lived good and made a lot of money off of that squatting.
Just look at things from their perspective ???????
That woulda set me TF off!
That woulda set me TF off!
That was so ridiculous, dumb ass Sheriff
