Squatters and the homeowners getting arrested trying to remove them from their property

I had this happen to me. Cost me nearly 60k in lost rent and damages over 2 years trying to get the squatters out. I was awarded a judgement to collect my losses from them, but they had no assets to send to auction and a long line of people waiting ahead of me to collect what was owed to them as well.

I never got a dime.
It's stories like these that make me realize there are alot of good people here, and that deep down I am not really a good person. I'd be in Canada prison right now.

Good people don't necessarily have to put up with being royally fucked with. You can still be good and not fit in with the current wussification of America. A lot of people here are like this. You just need to be more subtle now so you don't end up in prison.

I'm guessing subtlety would kind of fly out the window around the 3rd mag change.

:laughing:
 
I guess I don't understand... would not a firearm, and the phrase "get out" solve the problem? OK ok, so the bums call the cops on you after they run out the door. Cops show up, "I'm sorry officer I have no clue who these fentanyl people are. They were standing in our yard when we returned from vacation. They seem crazy."
I mean everyone has an old tiss away pistol right?
"I feared fir my life, they pointed that gun at me"
 
I had a renter try to fuck me with Montana’s tenant laws. Can’t kick someone out in the winter. Paid October rent and then crickets.
When I stopped by to collect, he showed me the law all printed out. I told him his family could stay until spring but that he would have a permanent place in my back yard if he wasn’t packing a U-Haul when I came back the next day.
Apparently he believed me because there was one in the yard when I came by. I was so mad I probably would’ve been in jail still if he hadn’t moved on.
Sucks because his wife and kids were really nice, just had a worthless pos for a husband/father.

Edit: And that’s also why I don’t have rentals anymore. I don’t have the temperament for being a landlord.
 
hey leave Yota Up out of this. :flipoff2:
You psychic prick. When I read that I thought to myself "this would have been a perfect job for me when I was in my 20s".

I 100% money-back guarantee I will annoy the shit out of someone to the point they move out or blow their brains out after hearing me analyze the perception of time a fly experiences as it flies through fan blades due to relativity. If that doesn't make them quit, I'll just slice and dice every aspect of the legal approach to preventing minors from obtaining adult goods. And if he still doesn't cave, I'll pull out my $20 harbor freight tool and go to work on the cupboards. Fucker would be running for the hills at that point and I'd be right on his ass with my busted trailer brakes. Fuck me.

You speak the truth, I wanna blow my brains out every time I read one of your posts.:flipoff2:

The only option that wouldn't have landed me in jail was to lay back and take it while following due process.

Dude was clearly a professional rental scammer who did this on the regular. He took the time to befriend me first, I went to his "current" property numerous times before he moved into mine and nothing was amiss. We ate Thanksgiving dinner together once. The house was clean and well cared for. I later found out it was an air bnb he rented to fool me with. He had trashed the place he was squatting in and the eviction process was nearing the end there.

He moved in after paying 1st month's rent and damage deposit. Never paid another dime. Changed my locks the first day. Moved in his 7 kids with 5 different women and an equal number of dogs. The kids and dogs destroyed absolutely everything 4' and under in the property inside and out. All the walls, cabinets, floors, doors and casings, windows even toilets and bath tubs had to be replaced. The dogs were kept indoors all day so they just pissed on everything inside and chewed on whatever they could reach. He left an obvious leak from a shower handle and toilet go the whole time which completely rotted the subfloor in the bathroom and saturated the belly insulation (modular) to the point that it was laying on the ground with thousands of gallons of water in it. He never cut the lawn once and never picked up the dog shit once. I literally filled 4 garbage cans full when I finally got him out. The property was in an HOA and he racked up thousands of dollars in fines, even after I explained the situation to the enforcement assholes who were thrilled to step up their ticket issuing.

When I finally got to the point where the bailiff and the cops showed up to remove them physically, all the dogs and kids and girlfriends were gone and he had found a wheelchair bound and severely handicapped kid to plant in the house (which was definitely not his) that they found, so they let him stay for another 3 months so he could find alternate arrangements. He knew what he was doing.

We are specifically not allowed to do things like turn off utilities or remove doors / windows to remove them and I knew full well he woudn't hesitate to put me in jail so he could stay longer and that he knew the rules inside and out so he could abuse them, but damn, I felt like burning that place down with all of them in there in the middle of the night on more than one occasion.

It was an awful experience. After I rebuilt the place I sold it and never did rentals again.
 
I would have "enthusiatically" burnt my own house down after a week of some fuck squatting like that. "What if there are people inside?"... well that is for their god to decide, not mine. It is my property and if I wish to destroy my property at any time I will and have to prove a point. Peoples faces turn from snarky smiles into utter disbelief pretty fucking quick when you show you have enough willpower and resolve to do just about anything. But I am probably the outlier there.
 
Ahh ok.

I guess I'm thinking that we come home from vacation, there's a strange car and lights on, I'm getting dropped off by the family who's going to a safe distance and I'm going in the house with muzzle pointed at people. And if the locks have been changed I'm going in through a window.

This kind of thing doesn't happen here, so it's not something I've had to consider.
It probably doesn't happen there because people would get dead :laughing::usa:
 
Why would anyone allow pets in their rental? That is just a problem waiting to happen, IMO.
Can you not put something in the rental agreement that says something like “after 1 missed rent payment I have the right to evict you immediately”, and/or “ I have the right to evict you at any time and for any/no reason” and/or “by signing this rental agreement you acknowledge you are giving up your “squatters rights”, etc.”? I would think a good lawyer could make up a rental agreement that would protect the landlord from instances like this.
Why are tenants allowed to change the locks? When I rented it specifically stated in the rental agreement that the landlord had the right to enter the property at any time for any reason. If I changed the locks and didn’t provide them a key that would be a violation of the rental agreement.

MN has a similar “no eviction in winter.” Very hard to evict when kids are involved.

Buddy of mine sold all of his rentals right as Covid hit…. Before the moratorium
 
I grew up in a small town in Arkansas and remember my dad was thinking about buying a rural property that had a mobile home on it with squatters. He didn't buy the property because of them. This was back in the 80's
 
This whole thread belongs in the clown world thread.


Every aspect of this is insanity! The people that do this, insane. The people that pass laws allowing it, insane. The people that enforce it, insane. If you allow it to happen to you, insane. Cant do anything about it, youll probably go insane.

If this happened to me id probably hire a fat guy wearing nothing but pee stained tighty whiteys to move in with the squatters and talk to them 19 hours a day about the ptsd he got from the battle of Nigeria he fought on his xbox in 2004.

I was actually surprised to find out that this stupidity isnt really tolerated here yet but im sure its coming.

"Who the fuck are you?"
"I live in your house now, I'm a squatter and it's my hou...."
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.
"Hello 911, someone broke into my house so I shot them, you can send the paramedics but he ain't gonna need them no more."

Here’s a different quarter story. Don’t know if this was posted.

Family hires squatter for 140k to drive the price down. Then they refute to pay him after they get the house for cheaper. Now he won’t leave.

 
Back in the 1980s this happened to a relative of someone I worked with.
Squatters moved in to a rental.

We working in the Los Angles harbor area at the time.

Several of us told the guy "The Longshoremans haul is two blocks away. I bet for $200 a couple of those guys could make the problem go away"

Not sure if you could get away with that now.

I absolutely do not allow pets. The tenants are told this at the initial showing, it is reiterated during the lease signing, etc.

stupid fucks get them anyway. I currently have two decent 3 bedroom 2 bath houses completely gutted because of tenants and their contraband dogs. One apparently kept the dogs in one of the bedrooms all day long the entire stay, it was so bad that dog piss was dripping through the floor into the basement.

I just can't wrap my head around this. I completely understand getting out of the landlord game. I think around month 4 I would have burned that place to the ground, along with the houses on either side just to be sure I got it all. And then I'd be in F pod the next 20 years.

Yeah but, 3 hots and a cot!:laughing: I would walk into prison with my fucking head held high if they caught and convicted me. Who in prison is going to fuck with the crazy guy that burned his own house down.
