There's been an explosion of squatting cases in the U.S. Nationally prominent restaurateur Adam Fleischman was recently accused of squatting at a Hollywood Hills home. Flash Shelton is the self-proclaimed “squatter hunter.” He says he's on a mission to reclaim properties after alleged squatters move in. The owner reached out to one person she hoped could help. Fleischman denies being a squatter, claiming he had a right to live there, but moved out just a week later.

If a property is not lived in after a certain amount squatters can possibly claim rights of abandoned property because of eminent domain. Each state law is different. It's intention is to make sure the property is used to house people. Essentially stripping rich people from taking advantage of property for portfolio assets. I read that somewhere that's how the pilgrims were able to justify taking native American land.

When squatters take over a property, it becomes a landlord v tenant case, the best way to overcome that is to do what Flash (Squatter Hunter) does, you have the owner of the home lease you the building and you can then have the squatters evicted without taking them to court Lessee rights > Squatter rights > Landlord rights

The legislation needs to revise these laws to stop supporting the squatters more than the homeowners. Homeowners shouldn’t have to file for an eviction that can take 2 years to do on people who just move their stuff in, change the locks, and make the homeowners pay for everything. They don’t have the papers to the home, the homeowners do so support them instead of the criminals.

IGNORE THE LAW! The can’t and WON’T help you. I suffered 8 months with a squatter. Paid 3k to a lawyer to evict. Took MONTHS! Then the state of Az FORCED me to let her back in to get her stuff. YEP! She moved right back in. So I sold it to an investor and took a 70k loss. Squatter still there after closing. I heard from a neighbor, that the squatter was ‘removed’ by the new owner with cuffs and a bag over her head. Her stuff was trashed out in the middle of the night. This squatter has never been seen or heard from again. And a new tenant moved in the very next day. People ! SQUATTERS HAVE NO RIGHTS! Just because a State passes an UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW, does NOT mean you have to acknowledge that law. WE must hold government accountable and IGNORE THEM AND QUIETLY TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROBLEM WITHOUT THEM. This is the world we live in now. If we continue to allow our CORRUPT GOVERNMENT to impose UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAWS, we don’t have a COUNTRY.
