And home invaders!

They are only trespassers when it happens to a police officer, judge, or politician. For anyone else they are squatters, who the people in the previous sentence say cannot do anything about.

You mean burglars and theives

I've got somebody to completely moved to mobile home into my property and has no legal right to my property. What can I do? The sheriff's department here in Henderson county says they can't do anything about it.

@@buddymacdaddy It’s a risk like anything, but wait until no one is home, break into your house, change all the locks, and when the squatters comes back call the police and say they are trespassers. Make sure you bring copies of ownership to the home or even type a fake lease to yourself. Police can’t do anything to you in the same situation and squatters won’t bring you to court cause they’ll lose.

Squatter's rights are for people who care for abandoned property, not owned property and certainly not occupied property.

@@trinsit This is true. The fact people are abusing squatter rights to steal property from people like they are is going to destroy people's chances at getting a home before the city or government takes it for unpaid property tax.

Your right we need renters rights. Not landlords rights.

@@BenSmith-cm8oc These squatters are using Tenant rights and not squatter rights.

Welcome to liberal America...

squatter's are basically house thieves

State wide it needs to be changed before more of them catch on I think the government wants them to do this because nobody ever heard of that until now .

they started in 1849 the law maybe was needed then, but my goodness, this county has gone to hello in a hand basket

This literally isn't about squatter's rights at all he isn't even in the right about squatter's rights

Squatter rights isn't the problem. The people who are taking over homes through fake leases can do so without squatter rights. The fact they are being called squatters or using squatter rights at all is where the problem is.

Obviously that doesn't work

In this case they had a contract in writing that allowed the person to live on premise while completing tile work. In this case it is an eviction.

Wrong. Police won't do $h1t. Trust me I've dealt with this issue before.

That is true police didn't do anything, besides protecting the aquatter.

They shouldn't expect police to help remove squatters in San Antonio.

100%

You got that right!👏

The FL sheriff telling this to his people was right. The Fakenews were mad with him.

Yep

they also don't sue

Thank Joe Biden , that's why its allowed because Americans come last in his book!

Because of democrats passing stupid laws to hurt the law abiding citizens..welcome to Biden’s world

it isn't dumbass

Very common in blue states like Texas

@@lisa7673 Jesus Christ, you magats just blame him for everything. These laws have been around longer than he’s been president. It’s just now people are taking advantage and using the loopholes from them Go join Babbitt 🙄

The problem is people pay illegals because it's cheaper and then they pull this crap. My dad paid some guys he picked up at home depot parking lot to do a job and when he came back to the job site the took off with his tools.

He made them an offer (low price for the tile work) they couldn't refuse?

@@terebrateyou absolutely should refuse that offer! I would bet my life savings he is not licensed, bonded or insured either. Hire reputable contractors that are licensed bonded and insured to avoid these kinds of problems as a homeowner…. It’s 2024 we all should know that

@@Diesel437 I agree. I was just speculating on how that kind of arrangement comes about. The tilesetter>squatter probably gave them a price that sounded good, with the arrangement of staying there. Some homeowners would think they were also getting "security", rather than leaving the house unoccupied.

Thye hired an illegal alien to do work for them. And I am willing to bet it was not the first time

Exactly.

@@OutlawAngel75 Situations like this usually end up violently....one way or the other.

Amen

@@commandervile394exactly why we should all stop paying our taxes, property taxes and being law abiding citizens. We are getting nothing for all the money we pay. We are just pretending there’s laws to protect us.

And most politicians are lawyers...hmm

America is a country of lawyers, by lawyers, for lawyers. Civil laws are what they are primarily to embolden criminals to commit civil crimes that force law-abiding citizens to pay lawyers in an attempt to be made whole. Anyone who has been a victim in a civil matter can attest to this.

Liberal/Democrat lawyers.

Most laws are intended to benefit lawyers.

democrats

Sounds like breaking and entering and trespassing. Those are crimes and he should be in jail. That's the only way to stop this BS

They allowed him to live in the home while he did some work on the house. They even had a contract. So he's not really a squatter. More like a tenant and has to be evicted. They should have never allowed him to move into their home

​@@fauxque5057if the contract was short term as the story says and the tiler overstayed the timeframe in the contract then he is a squatter. Stop carrying water for crim1nals. This attitude is exactly why these pe0ple think they can forcibly take property.

@@dogrum1 Them making a contract and allowing him to live there is what turned this into a tenant/landlord dispute and made it a civil case. Lesson here is don't be stupid and sign contracts or let people live in your home. Now if the property owners can show he entered into the contract in bad faith then the contract could be invalidated. Either way, its now a civil matter, not criminal.

@@joshmonus how about I live in a State where our Governor sees through the farce that is "squatt3rs rights" and you live in a State where p0lice protect and serve the crimin@l class.

It is true, you have to be at a residence for years in Texas for squatters rights. These people are just trespassing. Unfortunately they live in San Antonio which is a democratic led city.

They made a contract with him to live there. Once the contract was signed he became a tenant, not a squatter.

@@belowaveragegamer95 It is still in a red state you dumb a#$#. What is law goes by the whole state moron.

It came from the Homestead Act of 1862 signed by Lincoln.

Woke progressives.

​@congjuny so it was to reward vultures who took property from people who died from the civil unrest before, during, and after the civil war. Go figure

Domestic Terrorism...

They made the mistake of being a drug store lawyer. They signed an agreement to let him stay. Now they have a tenant (not an intruder) that will not leave. first mistake is they hired an illegal alien to do work for them

Amen to that!!

You need to tell that to the property owners who have been arrested trying to do that... That will make them feel better... ;-)

@@desiv1170 One did, in NY, where you can't own a gun unless you are "special".

@@desiv1170 I never got arrested for doing that...huh, I guess this only applies to certain people.

@@commandervile394 Assuming you did remove squatters without using the accepted (and wrong) civil process, it's more likely that you didn't get in trouble because the squatters didn't know the law. I am happy for new laws taking away squatters supposed rights, but it's not good to imply someone would be legally safe doing something that isn't legally safe yet.

@@desiv1170 Worked for me. Just saying...sometimes relying on the system will get you nowhere, and when you don't have much else choice, may as well do things your own way at that point.

Exactly,. No Texas jury would convict a homeowner for protecting his home. Caste Doctrine rules!

Maybe in Austin. But you never know.

Unfortunately there are too many snowflakes living in Texas, many of them having moved from California and trying to turn Texas blue. That's why we have to be vigilant in who we elect to the state Congress and local government.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The scummy types will always see your kindness as weakness.

No good deed goes unpunished.

That guy is not a contractor. He is some "Chuck in a Truck" opportunist. If you hire someone to do any work on your house, they are responsible for their own housing.

Yep! He bit the hand that fed him. What a disgusting POS!

They hire him because he was cheap. He is an illegal alien. Just here to get what they can for nothing

HOWEVER the drug store lawyer (home owners') gave him the rights to move in. Now he is not a squatter, however a tenant that will not move out

boy talking like he has properties to even have people squat in them 😂

Okay but what about verbal contracts? If I tell my brother-in-law he can stay in my vacation home for a year over the phone and never write him a lease and then 2 months later I change my mind I still have to evict him and he still gets to have his say in court. Without a lease the state will assume he has a month-to-month lease at the bare minimum and require at least a 30 days notice to get him out.

Which should be breaking and entering. That's a criminal offense

Not to defend him but they allowed him to live in the home. Even drew up a contract. So he's a tenant and has to be evicted.

​@@fauxque5057 Their was a stipulation in the contract that gave a two day max stay.

@@Dcc333 Once in as tenant (one day or 20 years)in they have to go through the courts to get him out

Legally he is a tenant. They gave him a contract to move in. He just over stay his contract. They are getting some of what they deserve. They hired an illegal alien to do work for them, and try to play lawyer

Stopped paying? Are you talking about a squatter or a renter? Squatters generally don't pay anything, that's their purpose for doing it. If you're talking about selling a house that is occupied by renters that's you, their lease should have been transferred to the buyer or you should have given them ample notice of intent to sell.

They were potential buyers, wanted to check out the house and squatted, agreed to everything. I guess another kind of scam. I wouldn't seperate them from squatters, they knew what they were doing

So they have to evict him through the courts which the trespasser knew. That can take months. Castle doctrine is dead in Texas.

To answer your question: Fool Biden took the presidency and created Bizzaro-World. FJB

Activist judges and greedy lawyers.

😂😂😂

If he is "allowed" in the house, why is he entering through the window?

They are too nice for their own good.

Because like a lot of people and businesses they wanted to be cheap and not hire real bonded and licensed contractors, hence letting some random shmo live there while doing the job. It's on them, no sympathy here.

What about these politicians asking people to take in illegal aliens? Good luck getting them to leave.

Ironic how these laws have manifested more recently. Just in time for the arrival of a whole bunch of new unwanted illegal neighbors. Like it was almost planned.

@@rse4379 maybe Republicans shouldn’t have rejected Biden‘s proposal for the border

​@@dying2survive298You've gotta be kidding. Biden's the one who let them all in and is trying to force us to keep the border open for more. That's the Dems doing that smooth brain.

@@dying2survive298Maybe because it was attached to a bunch of other things that had nothing to do with the border. Why not just have a border proposal by itself. Almost as if the president used our national security as leverage to obtain funding for foreign countries.

I would put a fence up. She can’t cut what she can’t get to.

You should start aggressively lawn keeping the property line, and over it into hers. Build a garden and infrastructure right on the edge of the boundary, and fight fire with fire. Get the work approved and inspected officially for something like a small greenhouse right on the line, and then wield it like a weapon in the court case against her. Judge won't be able to make heads for tails, and probably will just drop it right where the line is at, or rule in your favor. Which would be even funnier when your land gets just a little bit bigger from one lady who wouldn't stop pushing. Believe me I've had to deal with neighbors like this before, especially ones trying to invade inches within, and over my line. Suffice to say I ended up inching them away even farther than they were before. I put a 6ft fence exactly where it should be on the line, and forced them to move a trailer they set down to live in literally 2 inches from the property line. Guess what? I couldn't paint both sides of my legal fence with their house sitting right in my way where it never should have been in the first place. Asshole just wanted a bigger porch, but too bad. You ain't gonna take my land away to do it buddy.

These people have no ri F hts to your home, possessions, money, social security, health care or anything else!!!°
