This is some Bullshit! Squatting should be a serious crime.
Like I said in another thread, it's getting hard out here & more people are getting hip to the squatting game for a free place to stay. They're finding out loopholes & are hoping home owners/landlord don't act swiftly.
I had a tenant not pay me rent in November & by the middle of the month, I had filed the eviction after not hearing from him. The judge ruled in my favor about couple weeks ago so the key is not beating around the bush and take legal action quickly.
It's all a hustle for these courts too, they don't mind it being drawn out because of all the court fees involved. That's the fucked up part about it.
Court is all about generating cash. Judges today are nothing but modern day bankers.
Would you consider section 8?
They pay 1560 in my investment property area. I'm thinking of charging 1800 so they have to pay something.
That's probably my next move to just put it back on section 8. The previous tenant for the property was on section 8.
Yeah, there's definitely something missing. If they moved out & the owner changed the locks then how are they allowed to break in your property the next day and the cops don't do anything?
I'm guessing that instead of going through the proper eviction channels she entered the property and changed the locks while the "tenant" was away. That would explain why the locks were broken and why the homeowner was arrested for trespassing.
Sensational -- outrageous headlines but the "jailed victim" is not telling the whole story. There is a tenant-landlord relationship with "the so-called squatter" by virtue of being added to the lease with the tenant who signed the lease!
As such -- the "squatter" who is on the lease -- has to be legally evicted -- "crossing all of the legal "t-s" and dotting all of the legal i-s" -- which the "jailed victim" did not do. The cops followed the law!
