Squatters Are Ruining Affordable Neighborhood Homes

Squatters are creating significant problems in affordable neighborhood homes, showing a big challenge in enforcing property laws in many U.S. cities. This issue occurs when squatters unlawfully occupy empty homes, refusing to leave, and is becoming a major concern. It has grown so much that it almost feels like a movement, with some people even supporting it. Stories are emerging of legitimate homeowners who find themselves unable to enter their own homes because of squatters who claim to have fake leases. Worse, there are cases where squatters have illegally sold homes they don't own. In our discussion today, we address how these squatters are involved in illegal activities like breaking and entering, fraud, and forgery, but surprisingly, they rarely face legal consequences. The lack of action from authorities, often due to political and bureaucratic issues, only makes the situation worse, leading to long, complicated legal battles to remove squatters. This situation highlights a significant failure in protecting and enforcing homeowners' rights, making it clear that squatters are indeed ruining homes in affordable neighborhoods. It's crucial to find stronger laws and measures to stop squatters from causing such harm.

Here in Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a law that any squatters caught squatting in anyone’s home all the home owner has to do is call the Sheriffs office and they’ll throw the squatters out immediately and they go to jail for trespassing . It’s the law here.

My neighbor has a rental property just south of mine and across the street from her home. Two and a half years ago she was out in the yard and someone (NGO?) stopped and wanted to know about the "abandoned" place across the street. She informed them that it was her rental property and it was not abandoned. They were pretty adamant that if it wasn't rented it must be abandoned. She again informed them that it was her property. They went away but we kept a close eye and she's now rented it.

Get a locked mail box. Squatters try to get mail delivered to a house before they even break in. That way, they show the police that they live there because they receive their mail at the address. Also, make sure the home looks occupied by using timers on lights, hire someone to maintain the yard and make sure neighbors know that no one should be in the house.

There’s also rental scams. A scammer pretends to be the home owner, has the person sign a fake lease, pay first/last month’s rent and then move in. This person appears to be a squatter showing their lease, but could actually be a scamming victim. If police quickly remove this person, they’d be homeless - adding insult to injury. So, instead of quickly removing them, I think giving them notice to leave would be better, in case this is a scamming victim who needs some time to find a new home.

@BlueBD Месяц назад

The original laws trace back to a time where information is hard to get. property could stay abandoned for years to even decades. And most of the country was undeveloped wildland where especially in the rush eras people would just vanish without a trace. As a traveller you may endup having to abandon your journey or your jsut move into an area and there is nowhere you can purchase except there is a old farmhouse that clearly hasnt been lived in for a decade at least. so you move it. Most people who pass by dont question it, eventually you build up the lot. Then sometime years later a surveyor comes in to audit and finds out that the property your not on is not under any documentation. You can fight that and by right and proof of what you have done clearly show that the property was unowned and you already invested years into it. So since the previous owner either is dead, left, or just forgot about it for years You are the new owner of it.

0:56 yeah that literally doesn't exist today. That's the problem. There are so many vacant buildings but people will effectively pay to keep them empty unless they can make enough off of it.

If the rest of the country had a decent Governor like we do here in Florida, squatting would NOT be a problem! He nipped it on the bud and all you have to do is call the sheriff and they are immediately gone.

All Real Estate housing in the U.S. should have to be Owner Occupied by law. Housing is just way too out of control to allow people to own more than 2. Sorry...................

Thank you, as ignorant as the first thumbnail was…I think it wasn’t intentional given that you changed it.

I think there should be a database where names of homeowners, tenants and leases are uploaded so the sheriff can do an easy peasy check. Nothing on file, then not a tenant. Legit lease on file, then shady landlord.

I've been so scared about this I literally have my ex husband come over when I go on vacation and watch my cats and the house. He doesn't care he likes watching the cats.

If I got squatters, I would immediately hire a band of guys to infiltrate and conquer. I'd have them come in like a friend and then pull out a lease while letting in their 12 friends. It'd cost me thousands. But how much does that house damage cost? Tens of thousands.

My tinfoil hat theory- The lack of home affordability in the USA is by design and our government is letting it happen. By “black thing” driving up prices they are driving up taxes and this company has unlimited money to pay as much as they want for these homes meaning they can outbid every buyer. Then the homes get an appraisal and the value is double or triple in some cases causing all taxes for everyone in that area to go up and people who once could afford to pay the taxes for these properties then must sell because they cannot afford the taxes etc and then “black” buys up the rest of the properties and can charge as much as they want for rent. But I do not believe they want the rent money and are buying them for just the money. This corporation is evil and does not want anyone to have a place to live. The next thing they will do as soon as they have more homes is they will buy all of the cars etc so no one can afford to buy a car. It is bad…. Remember from the world E forum - by 2030 you will own nothing and you will be happy. How will you be happy if you don’t own anything- because you will be a mind controlled zombie if you took the stuff that came out recently. They will control your mind.

Have you seen the prices of homes. We should direct squatters to all the vacant homes. Let them live there. Worst case scenario. The house goes on the market cheap from the squatters destroying the property!!!!

@CLSB-ECHO Месяц назад

There are a lot of people talking about squatter's rights issues. Bear in mind that these rights can be habdy in certain circumstances, and they shouldn't be outright removed. They can protect people from sysyemic abuse coming from the asset holder's position. It is important to consider why such rights exist to begin with before allowing them to be dismantled.

@Myself-yh9rr Месяц назад

About Tricon, what sort of penalties were they given? I would expect a homeowner victimized by these scams to be eligible for potentially treble damages. The damages would include ALL related costs even court fees, attorney fees and costs even money spent on transportation to a court house whether it be bus fare or cost of their own personal transportation and ALL parking fees and fines that may have been accrued during parking or driving since some cities are a huge pain to park in

@NCTrevor3D Месяц назад

Some states, renters rights supersede landlord rights, so it is possible to lease the unit to your bully brother in-law who can go into the unit at anytime and clean house (check your state laws 1st)

Squatters are providing a valuable service to society. The reason squatting laws exist is to prevent the ruling elite from buying up homes and then sitting on them. That is, not allowing anyone to live there. Squatters are essential in the battle against hedge fund dominace of home buying.

@mucholangs Месяц назад

There was a time when a squatter would be scared of what happens to his hands and legs. Were more civilized now, but can we call it progress when someone can just move into your house and stay.
