I think that the bank that had contract to that property last should be held accountable to force those who are their out. After all it was that bank that lost it so should be the one to deal with it when found out.
Originally, at least in Canada, Adverse Possession would protect those that lived on a plot of land for 10 years. Basically, if you maintained a plot of land for that long and maintained the land while the owners simply didn't pay attention (ie a rich guy who buys alot of land as an investment but doesn't actually maintain it), then they can't just rob you of everything you've built over the years there by evicting you. In some cases individuals have won themselves plots of land, or expanded their property by building a fence a bit too far to the left and it going unoticed for years.
This is crazy. So basically the news reporters managed to inadvertently get him out of the house with the assault charge and probation violation while the banks sat in their hands. Meanwhile, had he been a mortgage holder who lost his job, they would have had law enforcement at the door in 60 days or less. 🤦🏻♀️
That's because the mortgage holder owes the bank money, and it's the money the bank wants. As messed up as it is the squatter does not owe the bank money, so the bank isn't as motivated to rid themselves of a squatter. The home is only an asset on the bank's books.
it's the same here for bums and hoboes in Hamilton Ontario...they have more rights in their "encampments" than working tax paying citizens....even murders in these camps seem to go unpunished (2 shootings)
@@peachfuzz1204 Jesus H. Christ calm down. Fucking troglodyte stumbling through life, google-reliant and needing thought confirmation. Absolutely sub-human.
Ironically, if the squatter had taken care of the property and kept a low profile he could have lived there indefinitely and no one would have been the wiser.
R.O.T.C SEEM Absoultely true, but to be fair things which you take advantage of but don't have the deed to you probably have little incentive to upkeep, because deep down you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop and lose it all.
That might not work as well if the previous owners were evicted unless the previous owners were liked by the neighbors. Otherwise, the neighbors will call the bank who can just call the police who will act on the previous eviction order since the previous owners' names are on the previous eviction order. But with a new squatter, their is no existing eviction order and the bank would have to get the name of the new squatters and start an eviction process.
The bank should let the original homeowner stay in it until they’re ready to do something with it. It’s pathetic to know someone probably worked their butts off for years trying to own a home, then to lose it and some freeloading hoodlums move in free of charge. That’s disgusting.
To answer your question you have to first understand how banks and lending works. Technically they never owned the property. They lend out imaginary money, and are backed by the government.
They are able to force him out, most states you have to go through the eviction process which normally requires notice, then a court eviction. Only the entity that owns the land can start this process, a nosy neighbor can't. This is all civil, not criminal and there is no need to "press charges".
The title does not match the story. He was arrested later that night. The threatening the camera crew with the axe violated his probation on a previous aggravated assault. He is in jail, and will have his accomodations arranged for him. The title is "clickbait" as usual.
I didn't notice that addendum at the end of the video at first. It didn't specifically say that it was stemming from this incident that he was charged with aggravated assault, although that is implied. A guy with a temper like his probably gets charged for violent acts quite a bit. Sounds like Mr. Get-A-Luxury-Home-For-Free knew that his time was about up. It's a shame these things take so long, even when the neighbors complained about it right away. Needs to change.
People care because a criminal like him could move into the temporarily empty house adjacent to their own next. Trust me: there are others just like him watching this case to see if he gets away with it. They'll be in yours or your neighbors house next time either of you go on vacation if they see others pulling this scam off. Then that community will go downhill, too. THAT'S why we care.
I remember many-many years ago I saw this kind of stuff happening in the Netherlands (Holland), and just shook my head wondering how is this happening? But now, here we are years later, and we in the US are now letting this same thing happen. What a crazy world.
Oh you should see New York . I own a 6 unit building here , we got them all out except one guy. That one guy got free rent for 2 years , it fucking sucks
if he hadn't have cluttered that nice lawn up with shit; they might not have noticed. He was too trashy to move into a nice neighborhood and 'fit in'; he had to bring the trailer park with him.
hill billy and lazy immigrants don't match. He's a squatter that should be removed, and the previous owner should have a chance to re-own the property if the bank forgot about it.
I love how they were willing, able and in a hurry- I'm sure- to evict the people who paid on the house for years, probably. But, let a squatter get in there and it's yoo much trouble to evict a criminal who will definitely damage the house.
Banks should be accountable for at lease a yearly check on all foreclosed property. If they fail this responsibility then the property should go to an auction for private citizens.
And what's even worse is the poor owners who were foreclosed on could've been living in their home this whole time...instead the bank would rather kick out the homeowners who need help getting back on track financially and leave it vacant....then this happens.
My younger brother lived in his house and made no payments for over 3 years, the bank was OK with it as they tried to sell the place. At least he took care of it and was keeping the place looking good.
You are so on point ! Now the house and yard will be trashed and the bank will have to get rid of it at a loss because the cost of repairs will be enormous.
When my son was several hours from my home during cancer treatment, I had some assholes break in to my house steal, a bunch of stuff, do a ton of damage to the place. After losing your youngest kid then going home to see all of that. Oh my. That is the reason I carry everyday now. People just don't give a shit what they steal or damage anymore. Protect what you own folks, and defend your Rights.
I remember a family that squatted in a vacant home. They turned on the water and electricity without meters. They also had telephone service all without paying. After over a year the bank that owned the property began eviction. Two years after they moved in they moved out and used all of the money that they saved to actually purchase a house, not the one they had been squatting in though.
First the fact that there is a thing called squatters rights proves how much I legal system is messed up. Second, that guy should have been arrested for threatening people with a weapon.
There is also a law like this in Mexico. But you have to live 7 years in the house and pay your yearly taxes before you tried to get it on your name (after that there is a big tax for that 6-8% of the house markey price so you can get papers on your name) Also in Mexico you cant make the contract of any utilities without a prove of ownership so it can be tricky to achieve.
He was forced out of the property fairly quickly after the bank got on the case. However, this is another instance in which it is clear that the last thing a bank wants to do is seize the collateral on a loan. Bottom line, they don't know what to do with it. When I worked in Washington, I had a lot to do with keeping banks in order. I learned quickly that they are not equipped to deal with collateral. Later I had an interesting personal experience when I made an offer on a foreclosed property and, to sweeten the deal, offered more than what the bank was asking. The bank refused the offer, saying they had to have the full asking price. ??? Okay with me. I bought the property and picked up the extra money the bank left on the table. But that's typical. They just aren't in the business of managing and selling real estate and are usually at sea when they have to do it. Some day I can tell you about the bank that made the mistake of making a loan to a circus and taking the circus' hard assets, including the animals, as collateral. When the loan went bad, there was nothing but panic at the bank. None of the vice presidents had any idea what elephants feed on, or where to find out, or where to obtain whatever it is they do eat. In turn, the bank went under.
The reporter would have been totally within his rights to blow that squatter's shit away the second he came after him with a pickaxe. And these guys just aren't thinking clearly: Wait till he leaves for the day, then send in a towing company to remove all the vehicles from the property and a moving company to remove everything of his inside the house. Since he isn't supposed to be in there, that shit's abandoned. It can be auctioned off, and should be.
So what the hell are empty houses good for? Apparently, you think that the banker's rights are more important than lives or people's need for shelter. But I think it's amusing that a bunch of white folks whining about "squatters" when your entire nation was built by illegal squatters who went violent against the people who already lived there.
+bohemianwriter1 really? Whites were here 10k years before Indians migrated here from Asia . They are called "moon people " by northern tribes ....btw .....Indians aren't the true indigenous people here. Love how you turds keep bringing up the past to justify your bullshit today.....smh....
Lightning Tornado Ehhh.... No.... Those cave people went over the ice by mistake some 25k years ago... The died off and never colonized.. The REAL owners of the land, you squatters are the ones you caged in at Standing Rock because your white sugar daddy thought that native American burial grounds belongs to white oil company once came over the Behring Straight some 35000 years ago. Besides, there were no meeting between the lost gang and the ones who had lived there for 10k years. So nice try sparky. Trying to claim property rights and moral right to commit genocide because of a handful of people wandered off tracks and landed somewhere in America. I have one last suggestion to you before I tell you to fuck yourself with loaded a gun: GTFU or start paying RENT!
Yeah bank screws up when they kick out the legal residents who were at least maintaining the property and probably paying something towards the mortgage. Now they leave it empty for squatters and transients to create an eyesore.
I totally believe the man's comment about banks losing track of how many vacant properties they have. It's a direct result of telling people that it's there "right" to own a home, and then financing anyone with a pulse. They knew people would default or have to sell. That's how predatory lending works. You usually hear more about it in the auto lending industry, but it's commonplace in the mortgage industry too. It was a contributing factor to the housing bubble.
These people should have no rights in any state period. If you didn’t originally buy the house and you don’t have permission from from anyone to be in that house you should be arrested not just evicted.
Taking stuff titled to the squatters is a felony!! You will get more time than him. Why is everyone so pissed off half the houses in Florida are squatters. No employment that pays shit I day take those vacant houses over and fix them up. Stay mellow for 7 years...its yours. Go for it.
You sound like a socialist the world doesn’t owe you a free place to stay !!!!!!while everyone else is making mortgage payments and rent payments ….nobody should be living for free….. everyone needs to carry their own weight in this world if you don’t like it go to a socialist country and you can live for free
Bought a bank foreclosure property that the previous owner kicked down the door and moved back on without water and gas for heating. I had to go to court and request a hearing wait a month and the judge told him he had two weeks to get out. Took almost two months to take possession of a home that I paid in full for.
We need to demand our state law makers pass very strict laws about squatting. It usually happens to the middle class family who owns a few rentals. After evicting one tenant, another idiot moves in before we get it rented.
After my grandmother died the bank refused to take any payments on the house from me or my brother. We lived there at the time as well helping her through her cancer battle. Well, the bank figured they could keep the 70k she'd already paid on the home and then take the entire house back and resell. So they told me and my brother we'd have to leave, and we did. Four years later it was still sitting there empty because they had forgotten all about it. They were in such a rush to screw us all over, but apparently have a really bad memory. It took a call from the adjacent landowner for them to come retake the house.
@@steveturner2763 exactly. By law lenders can transfer those loans/payments over to family members due to death, illness, etc its Garn-st Germain act, of 1982. You can switch from death to a relative, from a borrower to a spouse/child, and some other things.
You got scammed they waited till the taxes came up and paid it they where supposed to sell the house and cash out you whatever the house was worth at the time it’s sold pay off the loan and the rest goes to probate
Charge them with burglary like we do in Georgia. Had some dirt bag in a wheelchair try to take over a home while the family was out of town on vacation. When they returned he had changed the locks. He has a place to stay now as a ward of the state.
That's the second home he squatted on. When he squatted on the first one he was not using that wheelchair. (the first homeowner was not putting up with bullshit).
@@thefreshprincessofeverywai4302, really?! Burglary is a crime, a felony. Unauthorized entry of a home, business is a crime. You must be real young or improperly educated.
Once these squatters loose their court case(s) they should be prosecuted, if charged, sentence them to prison for minimum of 6 to 10 yrs., require them to reimburse court costs & victim's financial losses.
For living in a vacant house? Chill out, it’s a jail & civil matter. Prisons are already filled to the brim with actual killers being freed because of your small minded mentality. “Death row for the squatter! Let the murder& pedophiles roam free!”
Squatters laws vary from state-to-state in the US. Where I live, a squatter can't just take over a property registered to another owner, lessee, or renter. Adverse possession doesn't apply in Massachusetts, so squatters would be immediately arrested for breaking and entering and trespassing. Regarding abandoned property, it would belong to the bank if it was foreclosed on, and the bank would have squatters ejected. The law should be the same nationwide, in my opinion... but each state has its own guidelines, and operates differently.
2014 Tennessee Code Title 13 - Public Planning And Housing Chapter 30 - Tennessee Local Land Bank Program § 13-30-117 - Action to quiet title. Universal Citation: TN Code § 13-30-117 (2014) (a) A corporation shall be authorized to file an action to quiet title as to any real property in which the corporation has an interest. For purposes of any and all such actions, the corporation shall be deemed to be the holder of sufficient legal and equitable interests, and possessory rights, so as to qualify the corporation as adequate complainant in such action.(b) Prior to the filing of an action to quiet title, the corporation shall conduct an examination of title to determine the identity of any and all persons and entities possessing a claim or interest in or to the real property. Service of the complaint to quiet title shall be provided to all such interested parties by the following methods: (1) Registered or certified mail to such identity and address as reasonably ascertainable by an inspection of public records; (2) In the case of occupied real property by registered or certified mail, addressed to "occupant"; (3) By posting a copy of the notice on the real property; (4) By publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality in which the property is located; (5) By electronically publishing notices with addresses and descriptions via the municipality's web site; and (6) Such other methods as the court may order.(c) As part of the complaint to quiet title, the corporation shall file an affidavit identifying all parties potentially having an interest in the real property, and the form of notice provided.(d) The court shall schedule a hearing on the complaint within ninety (90) days following filing of the complaint, and as to all matters upon which an answer was not filed by an interested party, the court shall issue its final judgment within one hundred twenty (120) days of the filing of the complaint.(e) A corporation shall be authorized to join in a single complaint to quiet title one (1) or more parcels of real property.
The real problem with these issues isn't just the squatters, but everyone passing the buck on who should handle the issue and how. Some states, it's an eviction process. By that time, the home is ransacked and stripped, and there's nothing you can do. I honestly don't know why any state would have "squatter's rights" when it comes to dwellings, especially in the modern real estate world.
It is basically the bank takes over a home in a foreclosed then don’t actually maintain the house or sent and one around to actually check on the property. Once it is plain to anyone that no one is living there or checking up on the property you immediately attract squatters and they will break in change the locks the move it. It takes a very long time for them to actually gain full legal possession but it is a long legal process to actually get them out.
it should take five min, here paper work saying this is not your house, you are under arrest for breaking and entering, and gave him one year in prison. problem solve.
yes, but I mean say the bank has a guy that once a week goes around to check on all the house they own, see the guy, call the cop, here paper work that we the bank own it, and the guy Is under arrest. I don't really me five min, but it should be easy.
To be precise he was holding a Pulaski Tool, Small axe on front and a mattock on back. Used in wildfire suppression. I hope his $250 + an hour mouthpiece used this in his defense.
So if he’d been a clean, quiet neighbour, and kept vehicles out of sight, probably would have been left alone longer. Good for Tennessee with no squatters rights.
Once I had squatters in my property. In the begging I tried by law and politely ways to let them know they have to leave. For two days they answered me yelling insluts, talking trash about my race, three punches in the face and a bite from them pit bull. No one helped me, and I was begging for it. The government didn't care, the police didn't come, the neighbourhood never gave a hand. In my third day living in my car I couldn't handle this anymore. I went back to my house, cold and sick, with the intention to reclaim what it's mine. I'm not regret about what I did to the two guys, to the girl and to the dog. The only thing I'm sure is every time they see my house they'll feel a freeze breeze behind them.
It's simple. There are two different ways to go about this. #1- The obvious: you break in while he's in jail and remove every thing he's keeping in the building, and pack it into all of those vehicles. Then, you have the vehicles towed to the nearest field and light them on fire. (I've been to TN. Don't lie. Y'all do that every week anyways.) #2- You and all of your buddies show up in the middle of the night, and while one guy causes a distraction in the front and dude is digging for a lawn implement in his truck, the others enter the building from the rear. "Distraction guy" acts scared, running away a bit before turning and producing a .410 JUDGE, thereby causing this POS to lose control of his bowels. The guy that just locked him out of the house then runs out and "gently" presses the business end of a gas powered semi automatic rifle to the back of his skull and tells him he better wipe up and get the fuck outta there before the banjos start playing and "we go hunting piggies". Either way, he's outta there in less than an hour. Problem solved.
incompetent banks should be held liable for not securing their property, thus allowing people to move in and disrupt whole neighborhoods. Notify the bank "property owner" and Sue them for the disturbances. it's like$5000. per lawsuit and it can keep doubling from there if nothing gets done.
“Squatters’ rights” exist in many states to prevent banks or other owners from just letting property sit around unused. Squatting in a home that a family owns is one thing, but squatting in a home that a bank has forgotten about and is completely empty is another entirely.
Way I see it, once the owner becomes aware, they should be able to remove them without a fuss. I get why these laws are in place, but for anybody that catches them before their 7 years are up, they shouldn't need an act of congress to remove those people.
Regardless of whether or not a family-owned occupies a house or a bank owns it and it is unoccupied the owner has the right to remove a squatter. And as far as I'm concerned by any means necessary
So trasspasing, breaking an entering, threats with a weapon, illegally tapping utilities, destruction of property, they could throw in some others for #%$@ and giggles ...man this guy is going away for a long time if they are smart and charge him to the fullest extent.
Dude threatened deadly force on people NOT trespassing on “his” property. Could / should be charged with assault. Next time he does that he might get shot.
A friend of mine has a rental house, when his renters quit paying rent he moved in. One day were they were gone he showed up and brought his suitcase. They moved out.
Used to have a customer hopefully did the same shit, of course he kept up the house but all he did was pay the HOA fees and he was there for two years till last time I heard from him
Banks and States should NOT give a Squatter any rights; their actions should be considered theft and not only removed from property but also prosecuted.
Probably the most interesting thing I learned about in law school is squatter's rights. The funny thing is they don't really exist anywhere. Rather, the squatter gets the property if they hold it out as their own for a number of years. If they manage to hold the property on their own continuously beyond the statute of limitations for the writ of ejectment (the legal means by which a property owner can remove a squatter), the squatter ends up with the property because there exists no way to legally expel them and they get the property by default.
I guess the bank is now feeling what regular people go through, and are powerless to do so. The banks do some shady things to regular people, so this is karma. Maybe everyone who has their home foreclosed on should do this to the bank.
I've said this before and I'll keep saying it. Here is the simple solution to this Anytime a property is rented you have to have a document signed dated and notarized at the city clerk's office. Without this notarized copy signed by the city clerk, your occupancy of the house is illegal. Therefore this would always err on the side of the building owner. "I want this person out they have no contract!" City clerk "Let me check my records.....Ok, i have no record. Officers follow this person to their house and immediately remove the sqatter" Squatter "Here's my signed agreement with the home owner!" Police "That's not valid. Only notarized copy signed at the city's clerk are legal. You must leave immediately!"
"eviction process" He's a squatter, no rent paid. Nada. No eviction process there. Just Forced Removal Of A Criminal. How'd he get into the home when he "Moved" there? I bet the locks were on it. So he must have broken and entered.
Anyone ever stop to think maybe the banks shouldn't own properties? Maybe we need some laws forcing them to sell off foreclosures faster rather than leaving them sit vacant when people were made homeless by their stupidity and cruelty!
Can you please guide me. We served a 60 days notice to vacate through lawyer to a tenant whose lease was expired and was on over due rents already. The tenant refused and also brought squatters to reside. It's been a year now without any rent while we pay the utilities. The tenant is not seen for few weeks now but squatters are present. The courts are closed by shameless govt. Me and my family living in constant fear. Any solution please.
There are people like this man, that think 🤔 they have the right or a law that will protect him... Shame on people like him, banks should be smarter with their properties
You tell me. How much does McDonalds make a year in profits? Folks like you keep throwing that argument out, but who replaces those folks in those poor paying jobs? Or do you just think we don't need those jobs done.. despite many such jobs being done for the largest employers in the nation? PS.. those kinds of jobs used to pay a living wage. There was widespread prosperity then.
All they would need to do is temporarily have one of the bank employees "buy" the house from the bank. Then that new "owner" can evict the guy with the help of police or Smith & Wesson if he chooses to do so. Then when the idiot is gone, transfer the ownership back to the bank. That's the only way unless the bank is willing to hire an armed security company to take the house back.
Ralph Bernhard good point except that's the problem with America. we all care about ourselves and we dont fight the banks etc because of high legal fees and liability. The banks like it that way. we r so broke and tired in the middle class that we turn each other in for a nights sleep and never cause waves in case we get sued. I will never care if a bank has to fight squatters. They offer savings a.c. interest rates of 1-2% for $100k plus and they now control all property valuations due to the fact there r no longer many independent appraisers. Don't forget their credit card interest rates and various feesm If u r poor they charge u more for bounced checks and missed credit card payments and higher monthkynfees when u can't maintain a certain balance. They r merciless and i know that is the corporate structure but fuck em. I'll risk a squatter near me to not becine a selfish apathetic citizen.
@@martindryan finally someone who understands.

Why do they have to go through channels and processes to get him out, when he didn't go through channels and process to get in? This is trespassing on private property, trespassing is a crime, and him going inside with no permission is breaking an entry. This should be treated as crime and such.
Banks do a better job checking up on these properties that are in their possession there's nothing worse then having a squatter living next door to you. But I'm glad that Tennessee does not give rights to squatters
i hope all his shit is in the junk yard and dump. then is is just a vagrant breaking into homes and can be shot and the world will be better off and not have to spend more of your tax money
My cousin who lives in Maryland inherited a property in Hancock Co., TN. He always paid his property tax but rarely visited the property. The owner of a neighboring property used my cousin's driveway to build a house and he also built a septic system on my cousin's property. Going to court, the decision was made to allow the septic system and a joint use of the driveway to the neighbor thru "Adverse Possession".
