The problem with that is laws about this stuff don't favor who you think it should. Once it's established he lives there he has rights to live there and can draw you out for a long time.

In a lot of states it goes so far as that if you let a friend live in your house for a couple of weeks that's his established residence. He has renters rights and you can't just kick him out..think about that.

If I had the time and energy, I would do what ever I could to get him out. Party on the yard, music, find the utilities shut offs--anything. When he is out, tackle him and arrest him. Tie him up and leave him on the yard.

Where did it say the guy's worth nothing? I only watched the vid but it said the squatter was the previous owner of the home who accepted the $560,000 cash for the sale.

Article says he needed the cash in two weeks. I’d bet he doesn’t have that money anymore if he needed it that quick.

lol

i had a temporary housemate a few years ago who, when the lease was close to expiring, PUT HIS NAME ON THE MAILBOX

i told him he had to be out of the house by a certain date - two weeks before i had to be out

he really dragged his ass getting out of there - i had all my shit moved out and everything he owned was still in the spare bedroom

3-4 days before the house had to be vacant i had to lay down the law with this guy

he was pretty spineless so a couple of sessions of that told him i meant business and there would be no squatting whatsoever

i stared daggers through that mother****er after i saw his name on the mailbox

a few days later i was cleaning that nasty ****'s fecal matter off the toilet, so he got the last laugh - dirty bastard

Same here.

When I lived in Oklahoma, I had bought a house with 6 acres. The day after I closed on it, the former owner and a couple other guys showed up thinking that they were going to rip out the damn chain link fence.

Let's just say, it didn't happen and they all left pretty quickly. ****ers.

I imagine the couple is carrying the homeowners insurance on the place. I'd be scared to death of what the idiot is doing to the inside of the house.

displacedinMN · 03-21-2021, 11:31 AM

retreat....let him think he is in the clear....then all out assault on him.

Spoiler! RIVERSIDE, Calif. - When Tracie and Myles Albert purchased a beautiful four bedroom house in Riverside, California they never realized that at the end of escrow the seller would suddenly refuse to give up the keys and leave. "It’s just draining, emotionally and financially," says Tracie. On January 31, 2020, the couple purchased the home. More than a year later, they still haven’t been able get inside their property. Chris Taylor is the Real Estate Agent who sold the house to the Alberts from a man who wanted to sell immediately. "He needed $560,000 from the sale of his house in two weeks and he called me on a Sunday, so in traditional real estate there's no way of doing that unless the buyer’s a cash buyer," says Taylor. Since the house was free and clear and worth more than $560,000 the Alberts felt it was a great deal. "It took us scrambling to get everything we had, our life savings put together and a hard money loan on top of it to make that happen," Myles stated. During escrow they discovered there was a $30,000 tax lien on the house which slowed things down, but in the end, all parties signed on the dotted line and the sale was completed. "We own the house, outright. That's our house and it's all in a contract, written, legal, done. He's been paid the money in his account. How could we have no rights to go into our home," asked Myles. FOX 11 News tried to speak with the seller but when reporter Gina Silva knocked and announced herself, no one came to the door. Taylor says, "It’s genuinely unfathomable to me that we live in a state where something like this is even possible. They closed escrow on this home January 31, 2020." The Alberts and Taylor have contacted authorities and tried to get the seller evicted but because of the pandemic, they’ve gotten nowhere. "They have this case under a COVID tenant situation, of no evictions when it doesn't fall under that at all. This transaction went through in January 2020 before any of that, it isn't a renter who was getting thrown out. It's the guy who collected all of this money," stated Myles. Eviction Attorney Dennis Block says, "This year alone, we’ve handled at least 7 maybe 8 cases of this exact type of situation." He says people purchasing homes need to be extremely cautious, especially if they notice any red flags during the process. Block says what’s happening to the Alberts could happen to anyone. "This person is not a tenant, it’s a previous owner who is enjoying the benefits of the money that was transferred to his account but of course doesn’t want to move out of the premises that he no longer owns," Block stated. The Alberts filed an unlawful detainer but because of the California eviction moratorium, the case has been stalled. Time is simply passing by and the immaculate house they fell in love with is now becoming an eyesore. Tracie says, "I tried watering the lawn one time and he came out and ripped my sprinkler lines, ripped all the wires. The Palm trees are dying, everything was beautiful and everything is dying." Her frustrated husband says when he contacted law enforcement, they told him, "If you were in Arizona, if you were in Nevada, this wouldn't be a problem, you would just go take your house back. But in California, like our hands are tied, even though we're on your side, there's nothing we can do." Last edited by tyecopeland; 03-21-2021 at 09:52 AM..
