Sometimes, I do not think there is anything wrong with squatters. It just depends on the circumstances. I know of a case where an older man was squatting in an abandoned house. Both the home and the land were owned by the government and had been left unused for years. One day, the older man just moved into that home and started fixing it up the best he could. Eventually, the press found out, and people got upset because he was living there for free! That is what appeared to bother everyone: that he was living somewhere for free. The government did kick him out and bulldozed the home. Now the place is just unused land. The man could have been left there, and it would not have bothered or cost anyone a cent. No, people got upset that someone was living for free (that's why they wanted him out).

Squatters can actually provide a somewhat valuable role if they are in a truly abandoned property and IF the squatters take care of it decently well (that's a big "if"). I had friends who did this for five years. When the true owner asked them to leave, they asked for a couple weeks to find a new place and then handed it over to him. The owner later thanked them for keeping it in good shape during the financial crisis!

Lawyer here. Adverse possession and "squatters rights" are not the same thing. Adverse possession actually makes a bit of sense. It's meant to encourage land development, discourage land waste, and prevent pseudo-feudalism. Back during westward expansion, you had land barons gobbling up tens of thousands of acres of land just to let it sit there, undeveloped. Most of em had never even been within a thousand miles of the land they owned. Homesteaders moving out there to stake their claim would find a piece of undeveloped land, with no way to know it was owned, and build a home, farm, and family there. Then, 15 years later, land baron sends someone to go inspect the land and sees the family, and the family gets evicted. This is the kind of thing it was meant for. It happens rarely today because most land *is* developed at this point. Still, it prevents someone from buying a plot and then letting it sit there for 80 years without maintaining it. Encourages big landowners to at least come by and do maintenance every once in a while.

It's impossible for a house to not be in anyone's name. In the US, land cannot be unowned. If she died, it's still in her name, and owned by her estate until the estate is probated, at which point the home will become the property of the heir (if no will) or the beneficiary (if a will).

If the owner of a property isn't maintaining it or paying taxes, and someone else starts maintaining it, paying the taxes, and manages to openly live there for several years without the owner noticing, it's better for everyone if the guy that's actually willing to take care of the property owns it, and I struggle to feel sympathy for whoever (or, more realistically, whatever company) owns it, considering they couldn't even be bothered to occasionally stop by and check on the property.

I came terrifyingly close to a squatter situation myself recently. I prefer to have somebody around and always rent out my spare room. A woman answered my ad and she was my age, said she's recovering from a bad divorce, trying to get custody of her kid and needs a place to get back on her feet. I met her in a coffee shop and she was well dressed and good looking (Irrelevant to my decision but she didn't look like a drunken hobo...which is foreshadowing.), seemed pretty dim witted but that's common out here. I agreed to let her stay and she cut me a check and for about two days things were good. On the first day she was drunk, said she was celebrating the new place, made me some drinks, we went out for some drinks and she got REAL drunk but we had fun even though she was saying weird low key insulting things about me occasionally (I'm good looking too but definitely don't dress or look like the average guy here in trump country texas.). So a few days in and i noticed that by about 2 or 3 pm she was PISS drunk...every day, she seemed to exist off nothing but mimosas, i never saw her actually eat. She would get drunk and i could hear her in her room having a VERY loud very angry conversation with somebody i assumed was on the phone, she said she'd just left her mothers so i assumed it was them or something to do with this supposed divorce but i realized she's DEFINITELY an alcoholic. She would be perfectly fine till she gets drunk and then she would just pick fights, insult me, just be unreasonably nasty to me for no reason. One day i sat her down and gave her a talk, told her I don't put up with ish from ANYBODY, that i've been kind to her, gave her a place to stay but this is gonna stop NOW. She apologized, says she's been told she gets like that when she's drunk and it'll stop but she also admitted she's an alcoholic. I told her that's okay but she has to control herself. I also realized she was probably working as an escort but she didn't entertain here so whatever. It wasn't till she was there almost a full month that i realized that these nightly LOUD screaming conversations she was having with somebody in her room were not on the phone....she would get drunk and babble to herself, seemingly talking to people not in the room like a lunatic as well as yelling at herself, seeming to have entire conversations with herself. I came home one day and there were live bullets on my living room floor. I knocked on her door interrupting one of these conversations with herself and asked her if she had a gun, she said yes. I asked if i could see it and showed her the bullets. She said she thought she heard something and was walking around the house with a gun. I asked her why she was ejecting live ammunition from it and she couldn't really answer me. She gets the loaded gun from her dresser to show me and shows me by *putting it to my chest with her finger on the trigger.* I'm like WHOA!! And step to the side, she laughs hysterically and apologizes. About 20 minutes later i hear a blood curdling scream from her room and she tells me she saw a bug and demanded i come get it. I look for the bug and the whole time she's FREAKING, screaming and really annoying me. I get the bug and throw it outside. About an hour later her drunken convo with herself gets SO loud i ask her to keep it down which she does for about 10 minutes only to get even LOUDER and move out into the hallway and start banging on my door and screaming about how i went into her room while she was in the shower and put a bug in it and she doesn't feel safe and she called the cops and says "If I see you remember i have a gun!". I call the police who say she NEVER called them but ask me what's going on. Soon as i mention the gun they send cops down who show up and i tell them she'd pointed a gun at my chest, probably on purpose. They talk to her and say she's on drugs, they're just not sure what. At this point she was on a new month period and hadn't paid her rent, i told her she has to leave again. She told the cops she has nowhere to go and I told them she was officially squatting. They told me i have to evict her and she's not leaving and has no plan to leave and there's nothing they can do and that eviction could take up to 9 months. I almost lost it when i heard that and came up with a plan. I deduced she had been at her parents house and moved in early because they kicked her out (She's 41.) and told the cops to ask her to call her parents. She did and the cops asked her for the phone, when she passed the phone to the cops i shouted into it "PLEASE COME PICK UP YOUR DAUGHTER! PLEASE DON'T MAKE HER MY PROBLEM TOO!". It worked. Her parents had mercy on me and came to pick her up that night and got all her stuff. Dodged a bullet, probably literally.

Don't blame America for adverse possession law. We inherited it from the English common law, and it actually made historical sense. Back in the olden days, large land owners frequently abandoned low value properties. The abandoned farm down the road could bring down property values and attract highwaymen, so laws were developed to allow someone to move into an abandoned property, and ultimately obtain ownership after living there for 21 years. And the possession had to be open, notorious and adverse (exclusive to anyone else's interest.) If you allow me to occupy your property, I can not claim adverse possession because my possession is not adverse to you. A few states, like Ohio and Pennsylvania, still use the 21 year rule. A couple have raised it to 27 or 30 years, and many have reduced it to 10 years. I read California now uses a 5 year rule, which sounds insane. But I haven't really research it. Bottom line - the squatter problem really has nothing to do with real state adverse possession laws.

7:00 It's not actually stupid if used properly. It's mainly for abandoned property. if a landlord has forgotten about it, moved away without selling it, or died without any next of kin, it's actually a really weird gray area in the law for what is to be done with that property. Eventually, the city or county will repossess it, but that can take a long time, and in the meantime the property goes unused and falls into disrepair. In this case, it's not actually very useful to anyone due to the effort and cost involved in rebuilding the property, so anyone can pretty much just claim it, and if you live there for long enough without the landlord laying claim to it and evicting you (it's some years, maybe 4) you can become the legal owner of the property. However, if the legal owner is currently trying to sell the house it doesn't really count anymore, although it seems a major oversight to knowingly have this guy living in your house and trying to sell it without evicting him first.

It's a bit unrelated, but I basically consider my ex psycho flatmate to be a legal squatter. Yes she paid her room like everyone else, but after almost physically assaulting me and yelling so loud in an argument (the flat was disgusting after I came back from travelling for 2 weeks, and she couldn't take accountability), that the apartment complex thought I was assaulting a child. The landlord couldn't kick her out because in France you can't force someone to leave from December - March. So I was stuck living with an insane person who refused to leave despite the whole flat share wanting her out. These people who abuse the law and cause suffering to others are the worst.

Good luck kicking anyone out in France anyway. Once you stay for over 24h, you need court order to be kicked out.

So they barricaded the door to the kitchen and she squatted upstairs. Then some 6 to 9 months later when the body was finally recovered, my aunt decided to do her research, and thanks to her knowledge of the system, she was able to dig up all the information she could on the owner and property and took it to the courts. Shortly after she not only gained the property of the owner, but some excess land that he had owned in another state as well. It's crazy how many loopholes are in this system.

Quick note on adverse possession: it arose as a legal concept primarily in the era of American expansionism a couple of hundred years ago. The idea behind it was that the state would prefer to have someone farming and utilizing arable land, regardless of whether or not they’re the owner. That being said, the legal standard for adpos is pretty high, and it’s unlikely someone who’s squatting will meet it.

They "aquired" it through forclosure so tbh the bank may have stole the property from someones else as well. If vacant housing is going unused for literally years then I don't see the issue allowing someone who needs it and is actually taking care and paying taxes on it to take ownership. Defending corporations over actual people is such an L take.

Back in the 70s in the UK I was part of the squatters movement. We only ever moved into comdemned council properties, NEVER private owned. Got the utilities connected, paid the bills, made it nice and moved on if the property was ever reclaimed. My brother lived quietly for 12 years in a house due for demolition and was able to claim it. When he moved he just handed over to a young family. No money changed hands. This was all a political act. What we see here is a vastly different thing and the people deserve any shit that comes their way. Different times. Different motives.

She started selling his belongings since she didn't have a job and even sold his nice truck. She changed the locks obviously too. It was a nightmare and ended up losing close to 20k over it. She even had the audacity to tell me that she was the only woman my dad had ever loved which was bs because I am his only daughter and she wasn't my mom. She had a pattern of being a mooch her whole life and leeched off my dad for years and years prior to and after his passing.

Adverse Possession is a pretty important law. Because it forces property owners to maintain their lots instead of hoarding land and letting it stagnate. It keeps housing in active circulation and helps make sure that big plots of land are at least properly monitored. Obviously it can be taken advantage of by some less than reputable people. But it keeps land and property owners active in maintaining their stakes. And it deters would-be market manipulators by making property buy-ups a very costly endeavor in the long term.

Adverse Possession isn't unique to the US, and it isn't quite the same as squatting. You have to be openly living in the home, usually for 10+ years, and make improvements on it. It depends on the state too. Some states it is 20 years. Then you have to file to have it signed over to you. During all those years, all the owner has to do is simply realize that you are staying there, and you don't belong. All they have to do is drive by their second property once every five years to make sure a family hasn't just moved in.

@notknightbean3 ай бұрын
Squating laws was always meant to only take effect after years, where someone finds seemingly unoccupied land and improves it, only to later find out some laid a claim to it 5 years ago, sometimes as far back as decades ago, and left. It was entirely to stop frivolous land grabs by claiming to have once held ownership. The fact that the laws now take effect after weeks, often longer than it would take to evict an illegal squater, is insane.

I get that there’s a massive housing crisis and I understand why homeless people would take up residence in unused places (can’t blame them really), but to take advantage of other people’s kindness so they never have to try and at least attempt finding ways to get back on their feet? Breaking into already occupied homes and deciding “ok I live here now”? Treating the owners like dirt and even stealing from neighbors? There’s no excusing that kind of behavior. It only further harms those around them and actual homeless people who don’t act like jerks. Idk really frustrating to me and it’s only going to become more common at this rate :/
@lildarling12213 ай бұрын
Absolutely. I will never be on the side of landlords, but it’s unacceptable that these crackheads are stealing homes from people who work hard, who have families and children, because they can’t be bothered to do anything but crack 😭 and they’re being protected by law. Unfortunately it’s just more proof of how this country hates the homeless. The government would rather shill the responsibility of providing for the unhoused onto its poorest citizens

My aunt had 3 acres in so cal with a main house and guest house. She moved out to help my grandma so she rented the main house out while me my mom and sister lived in the guest house. The renter stopped paying rent for 5 months before he was evicted - and left everything in the house including his meth. My family had to solely move all their stuff out by the sidewalk. the hole Time the renter was telling people how he was being evicted. Doing a really good sob act. Dude was a prick. And ruined the house.

@DamplyDoo3 ай бұрын
I thought most squatters rules require them to pay back taxes and maintain the property if it is abandoned. In the first case that seems to be the situation?
@teethgrinder833 ай бұрын
Yeah I mean the cases he's picked are obviously going to be the worst or among the worst to find but banks and companies who own loads of property and just sit on them until house prices are sky high is a huge reason why there was the 2008 financial crisis which caused millions to lose their homes and small businesses to close and many have still not recovered (naturally banks were bailed out). I'm from Scotland thankfully things aren't as bad here. We still have a bad housing issue but at the least there seems to be much more help for people compared to America (I pay quite close attention to American politics). So yeah, squatting and doing things like steal electric from neighbours, ruining the house, being violent, screwing over individuals rather than the companies that are the larger issue I obviously don't like at all but there's clearly a systematic problem in the US (and late-stage capitalism)
@taylorbug93 ай бұрын
@DamplyDoo You're right. My mom took over an abandoned house, kept the taxes paid, improved the home and property, paid utilities, and hired a lawyer to track down the deceased man's family. Went through the whole process legally, and now she owns the house outright, no mortgage. And she saved it from rotting into the ground. It sat empty for two years before she came along, and it'd probably still be empty all these years later if she hadn't done what she did. The people in these type of videos don't do any of that because they're just looking for a place to live without paying a dime. Sad there's so few like my mom and so many like the ones in the video. My mom saved a house from rotting away and these people typically damage the property more.

If a house goes unused for the amount of time it takes to actually take possession of the property, that house SHOULD go to someone who can use it.

That's a law from Britain that America adopted and tbf it made sense back in the day when people took over acres of lands that they never even visited and it started to fill up with criminals so laws were put into place so other people could actually move in to already owned property nobody even uses. It usually does take decades for the property to be legally yours though.

I genuinely dunno if this is a hot take or not but I don't just like hate squatters on principle. Obviously ALL of them in this video were too extreme but like. I'm empathetic for homeless people and i think its pretty ridiculous for people to leave there homes for years completely unattended but not lease it out or something. When I'm away from home for 8 months for university i always let someone stay at my home even just to shower or whatever free of charge
