That man no longer owns the house and is simply trespassing on that couple’s property. He should be evicted because he’s the one trespassing, not the couple who owns the house.

This is real estate fraud. At this point, I would declare the house sale a loss. Instead of trying to move in, I would take him and his real estate agent to court for real estate fraud to get back the amount of the down payment and the mortgage you paid for. This is ridiculous that California doesn’t give victims of squatters any rights to their own house.

This is ridiculous! How can the property owners have no rights to their own property? Why is this law allowed to continue?

The woman had more balls trying to open the door then her husband did!!

This SHOULDN’T EVEN be a legal battle. Imagine paying this expensive house off, then being forced to surrender it to a thief manipulating the law.

This is absolutely unacceptable. He needs to be evicted. I don't blame her for being so upset. Imagine paying a mortgage for a property you can't live in.

Imagine making payments to the house and having squatters there with laws to protect them. That would drive most people crazy.

The squatter should be arrested and put in jail IMHO.

"Won't leave." This country is too soft on people, who exploit others.

It’s not his house, he’s not paying rent, so he’s not being evicted. He’s trespassing. This is disgusting.

There's gonna come a time when we will have to take matters into our own hands bcuz the justice system isn't there. These people paid for their new home with their hard earned money and this is what they have to put up with. Very very unfair!!. SMH.

I actually feared this. I bought a home in Texas and the pervious owners had not communicated with me at all about their move out or wanting to do a lease back. I arrived at the home Friday night before our closing Monday. They had not packed a single box. My realtor said they legally still owned the home and they technically did have to be out of the home. The home was still packed with their stuff. I grew concerned and told my realtor I would not sign the closing documents without a final walkthrough the day of ensuring they were out. The previous owners were livid at me. They had to pack an entire home by themselves in two days. There realtor would help them pack, and I would later learn they did not have money for movers nor truck. They literally took the light bulbs out of every light. Left me trash, broken furniture and a weight set....Parts of their RV septic system. They did remove the bulk of their stuff. I signed the documents, as it was bad enough to notice but my lease was ending on my home. I fully believe they were not planning on leaving either out of a necessity or simply didn't care about my needs.

This has to be a joke. How in the world does the squatter have more rights then the home owner whom is PAYING THE MORTGAGE?!?!?!?!?! I cannot comprehend this.

As soon as they said “It’s the previous owner.” my jaw dropped.

This happened with my grandmother a long time ago in Lake Elsinore. Nothing was ever resolved out of it unfortunately and she has passed.

So why can’t they move in with him if it’s their home legally? Annoy him enough to make him move out. Can they not ever their home??

The government would evict someone living under the bridge, but won’t do anything if they live under your roof. Their priority is in their best interest.

Wtf it's not even his house this is breaking in and they aren't making him leave?? Wtf is wrong with the legal system. ITS NOT HIS HOUSE

Isn't it up to the Bank that foreclosed due to non-payment to execute eviction of previous owners? Sue the Bank and the Real Estate Co, they enabled the squatters to stay and they defrauded the new owners!

That tells you just how backward everything is in this country now and especially Cali

Yea they better get there money back and Make this man pay for all the mess he did to them this man is disgusting

The fact this is a legal issue is sad. The police should have every right to pull this guy from THEIR house.

Why is the woman the one going through the door first....cmon bro

There's another means of getting rid of trespassers.

The fact there is nothing the couple can do to get him out & they’re literally paying mortgage for a house they’re not even physically living in is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard

Squatters rights should’ve never been created and should not exist.

This needs to be met with force!

Why don't you bored up all the doors and windows then they can't get out to get food or water

Isn’t he just trespassing? He’s not a renter! They own the home. The heck? How does law work in America???? WTF???

The way she kicked down that door. Damn. She’s a keeper

Why was he letting his wife kick the door in to confront the guy who had a weapon? Put the pants on buddy. 😂😂

They bought the house 14 months ago and have been paying the mortgage every month since the purchase, but they can't move in bcuz of a squatter? WTF!!! Has the world gone mad??!!! Only in California and NY. Home owners have no rights, but the squatters do.

why is this being compared to renter living in the landlords house. the dude has no affiliation with the property after he sold it. im honestly suprised the police kicked the couple off their own lawn.

This grown man is acting like a 5 year old. How pathetic.

Just hire some friends to knock on the door and have them say there's a fire on the roof. Then when he's out the owner runs in and locks the door.

Wow why would you buy a home without checking the house out. Then what kind of person makes payments on a house if they can’t live in it how dumb.

That is literally their home. Wtf. This should not be ok and technically he’s trespassing.

The fact that the man won't leave, utterly ridiculous.

I hope this will be resolved ASAP 🙏...

Good argument for a final walk thru & hand you the keys before signing the final paper work 🤔

That is disgusting, they paid for the house and he’s not allowing them in. Go the easy way, or force him out. 😠😤 Edit: Alright, so the can’t force him out, it’s still disgusting either way

He isn't the one paying for the home so basically he's trespassing private property. Lawmakers and their laws at their lowest

The previous owner should at the very least be FORCED to give every cent back to the buyers.

My dad had this situation when I was kid and we found new apartment, he couldn't move in before squatter was chased out

The couple is literally just paying for “his house.” Please get him evicted, get a swat team if you have to.

I don't understand why they don't just bust down the door and drag his ass out. Does California really protect these people? Why would they make laws like this? This makes absolutely no sense.

YOU HIRE ME, I'LL GET THEM OUT OF YOUR HOUSE IN AN HOUR .

If he never leaves, no one would notice if he was buried in back.

The story makes no sense, covid eviction law doesn't apply, he's not being evicted he is tress passing.

No one can get kicked out of their home you say. It’s not his home. So why can he not be evicted

I’ll never understand how squatters have ANY rights at all!

How come hotels do not have a squatter problem?

Nothing a black eye won’t fix.... I delt with this exact situation a couple years ago when buying my house. I called the police and they said there was nothing they could do at the time, but after they leave if I was to force my way in and just happened to be attacked by the previous home owner I would be able to defend myself without prosecution. Guess what? I had my property within 24 hrs.

Update: squatters left last week and they’re moving in now. Good for them.

I’m not leaving “my” home. The nerve of people these days!

Evicted? That's just theft. Arrest him and throw him in prison forever.

"NoBoDy CaN bE kIcKeD Of HiS HoMe" THAT ISNT HIS HOUSE ANYMORE

I don’t understand why the court kept on pushing it back. I guarantee you, if this home belong to the judge, the case will be in court next week🙄

As this problems persists in several states the new way to deal with squatters is to deal with them yourself. Don’t call local law enforcement. Just man up and kick them out, if they get violent show them greater force. For instance having a gun on you but not brandishing it and waving it in their face. Just let them know you have it and will use it if things escalate, tell them to get out or face serious life consequences.

That stubborn old bloke would have to be miserable, & thinks he will find happiness by lusting after someone else's property. What a Loser 🤕

The couple: “Yay we bought a home” That guy: “It’s free real estate”

I don't understand how can they not throw him out, he's not paying for the house in any way and was in fact given money for the property. He doesn't fall under the no eviction, hes not being evicted from something he doesn't pay money for! I hope they sue the hell outta him.

Just hire a "crew" to get them out of there mercilessly

Oh man it's not like they could had gotten the cops to help them instead.

Before the video, I thought the squatter was a random homeless person. The squatter being the previous home owner makes this 100X worse.

Ok this isn’t an “eviction”...he sold the house!! Why aren’t the cops enforcing this?!?

THIS CANT BE TRUE' HE SOLD THE HOUSE SO HE HAS MONEY. I THOUGHT HE WAS A RENTER BUT "THEY SAID THE PREVIOUS OWNER" SOMETHINGS WRONG WITH THIS STORY !

I would fight for my rights. Literally.

As a real estate agent, this is why we insist on being sure there is a checklist. What about a final walkthrough prior to closing? That would have confirmed and verified the previous owner vacated the premises. As soon as closing papers were signed and the mortgage loan was funded, the new owners could have changed the locks immediately. Never close without a final walkthrough! It should be beyond an eviction at this point. This man should be arrested and physically removed from their home!

Turn the electricity and water off. Stop any and all deliveries. If that doesn't work bust the door down and boot them.

I think at this point, I would stop paying the mortgage, I think that eventually the bank would kick them out although they probably lose the house. What else can be done? This is terrible.

You send people he doesn't know and make it obvious he shouldn't be staying there. Emergency room obvious.

Ridiculous. They need to kick him out or give this couple their money back. This is completely unacceptable and wrong.

I like to imagine myself as a patient person, but if I bought a house a whole *14 months ago* and wasn’t able to enter it the entire time because of some moron, I think I would go mentally insane

This is so insane that this is allowed to happen.

It's like paying for your groceries & being forced to give them back to the store to resale.

I can just imagine what that house looks like on the inside now! Because he knows eventually he is going to have to leave and he’s going to trash it.

That’s messed up.. imagine paying for the mortgage and you can’t even live there?!! Wow

Stop paying the mortgage and the bank will get those people out of there real fast.

Do you think I'd pay monthly for that house to have someone ELSE stay there? Maaaaaaan. Hell no.

Her man is like 6 foot 8 or something and he's is literally standing at the corner while she was about to box the Squatter.

if they pay for the house wouldn't the guy who wont leave be trespassing

You own the house, bust out windows and doors and when cops come say “I’m remodeling my house I OWN!”

Squatter is an exceedingly undignified & appropriate term for this gentleman.

I would relocate him to the hospital, he could stay there as long as he likes.

How is he not arrested ? This is insane to me. They should sue them for all the money they spent on mortgage they got scammed !!!

I PERSONALY WOULD BE DOING JAIL TIME FOR GETTING IN MY OWN HOUSE! UNREAL SOCIETY WE HAVE!

It is the 21st Century and we still have such laws.

Wait until around 3am. Get some friends & “move” them out.

Two years ago, during the closing of my house, the real estate agent, the owner and myself found squatters in my soon to be house. It was a young man and his girlfriend. They said they rented the house from someone on Craigslist. It took the owner a month of going to court before the marshals finally came to get them out. Even though he was a scammer, squatters seem to have more rights than the home owner.

How is that possible ?

Give him a short sweet ER visit instead of whining.

If that was my house, there would b a violent “break and enter.”

The onion is really outdoing themselves with this new content... Oh wait this is the world now.

If he is still inside 3 years later. Hire me He will be out within 24 hours. Oh.... legally.....then I cannot help ya LOL

This is sad!!! By the time they get out the house, the house for sure will be a mess and completely damaged

I wouldn’t even want to live there anymore.. I’m sure he’s going to or already has damaged soo much purposely out of spite 🤦🏽‍♀️

Why didn’t they call the police to get him out tho that’s considered trespassing?

This happened to us as well. Took months to get him out due to Covid eviction laws. It was horrible.

There is NO FREAKIN WAY that I would be paying a mortgage on a home that I wasn't or couldn't live in! This is the craziest mess I've heard all year!
