My Gazette: Squatters Rights

By Rich Kozlovich

This will be updated regularly to used as source articles.  I would like to point out in some jurisdictions the legitimate property owner would be put in jail for some regarding the idea presented in this next article.  You wonder at the insanity of these laws, but since the government no longer believes is the sanctity of personal property, why would you expect them to pass insane "squatter rights" laws.  If the nations various governments think this is such a good idea, let them squat on government property.  Then we'll see changes.  

Nightmare: Squatters take over home, and OWNER gets arrested! Changed locks while 'tenant' was away from residence - By Bob Unruh March 19, 2024 -In the topsy-turvy America today, where conservatives are jailed and liberals let off, where judges turn violent criminals loose and the Deep State's political enemies are behind bars, where illegal aliens have rights and property owners don't, this scenario probably shouldn't surprise: It is a case of squatters taking over a privately owned home and the owner getting arrested...............

Outsquatting the Squatters- Robyn Dolgin - Landlords are now beating squatters at their own game. They are learning how to turn the tables by squatting on the squatters. ........His amateur production of outwitting the mother-daughter grifter team offered a glimpse of what could be accomplished when the injured party (i.e. landlord) refuses to be handcuffed by an inept and morally bankrupt judicial system. He is a handyman by trade and used to getting the job done himself............

And squatters certainly know their "rights." Many of them refuse to give an inch initially because they realize if they can hang on for 30 days or longer, they enter a new tier of protection for their illegal behavior in the bluest of blue states. Who would have thought it possible that the longer you engage in violating the law the more protection you’ll receive under the law in “progressive” states? Shelton is teaching landlords an invaluable lesson as he gains more and more notoriety on YouTube and appears in a multitude of media interviews. He has pointed out that as a tenant he has more rights than a landlord............

Shelton is not above eating the squatters’ food, occupying their favorite spot for television watching, or blasting loud music. Can he do that? Apparently, he’s doing it routinely and he has yet to get arrested. After all, he’s a tenant: And just like squatters, he, too, has rights. The advice Shelton gives landlords may not match the instructions offered by high-priced law firms (no other kind), but his tactics have proven effective for a fraction of the cost.....Horror stories abound over serial squatters turning homes into strip clubs and hosting all-night parties. Those scenarios are only matched by squatters who have developed a taste for the high life and move into posh neighborhoods. Sang Kim, a case in point, made headlines as a “serial squatter” who refused to move out of a $2 million Seattle property.................

Organized Theft in the Name of Government - By March 6, 2024 - Today’s drive to eliminate free enterprise, individuality, and private property will not lead to an environmental paradise; rather, it will result in shattered American dreams Most Americans today tend to think of private property simply as a home – the place where the family resides, stores their belongings, and finds shelter and safety from the elements. It’s where you live. It’s yours because you pay the mortgage and the taxes. Most people don’t give property ownership much more thought than that.............

Police: Squatters Arrested After NYC Woman’s Body Found Stuffed in Duffel Bag - Amy Furr Two people whom authorities say are linked to the brutal killing of a woman in New York City were arrested by U.S. Marshals on Friday in York, Pennsylvania, regarding charges of receiving stolen property. The individuals in the case were identified as Halley Tejada, 19, and Kensly Alston, 18, WGAL reported. “The charges are related to the crash of a stolen vehicle in Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County, on March 13,” the outlet said............Authorities believe the squatters beat Vitels to death on March 12 upon returning from a trip to Spain, according to the New York Post.............

Good deed gone bad: Squatter sues Atlanta property owner who allowed temporary free stays  - By Mary Smith March 24, 2024 -An Atlanta property owner is frustrated after he says people have been living on his land without permission for years. David Morris, who now lives in California, says squatters have been living on his southeast Atlanta property since the pandemic, and it's been quite an ordeal getting them to leave........."It's frustrating that I'm having to spend so much money. I spent $10,000 on cleaning up garbage from vagrants," Morris told FOX 5............

Beware of Squatters - Betsy McCaughey Mar 27, 2024 - If you own a home and don't want to lose it, keep reading. Homeowners who go on vacation or a business trip, even for just a week, are returning to find their house overtaken by trespassers who fraudulently claim a right to be there. It's happening to tens of thousands of homeowners from New York City to Atlanta and Los Angeles.   When owners call the police, they're told police can't help. It's a civil matter, and they have to file an eviction lawsuit, which can drag on for months or years because housing courts are backlogged. Meanwhile owners are out on the street while squatters are living free, destroying houses and even selling off owners' belongings.  If you found a stranger sitting in your car and called the police, they would immediately ask to see the registration and decide who owns it, explains Georgetown law professor Jonathan Turley. They wouldn't let the thief drive off. But the law is stacked against homeowners.....

DeSantis Signs Property Rights Bill in Florida That Ends ‘Squatting Scam’ By Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation into law Wednesday that ends squatters’ rights in the Sunshine State, stating that “squatting” is a scam that violates private property rights. After alarming stories about squatters commandeering homes and depriving the owners of their property rights made nationwide news in recent weeks, DeSantis took action.  “We are in the state of Florida are ending this squatters scam once and for all. And momentarily I’ll be signing HB 621, which will give the homeowner the ability to quickly and legally remove a squatter from a property and which will increase criminal penalties for squatting,” DeSantis said during a press conference on the signing at the Orange County State Attorney’s Office.......

Porsche-Driving NY Squatters Request to Become ‘Heirs’ to Property, Terrorize Neighbors By Olivia Rondeau April 6, 2024 -  A couple of brazen New York squatters are asking to be declared “heirs” to the abandoned property they have been living in after being accused of tricking a judge to get the rights to the home and terrorizing their neighbors. Denton Gayle, 29, and Margaret Grover, 19, have been staying at the nearly $900,000 Long Island home with their baby boy and pitbull for several months, the New York Post reported. The family — which has a Porsche parked in the driveway — was kicked out of the home in October 2023 after a concerned citizen called 911 to report that they had their son living in squalor, with no heat, electricity, or working bathrooms. ......The judge screwed up, and now we have to deal with the consequences,” another concerned resident told the outlet. “The Town of North Hempstead has been totally useless.”............

John Fetterman Latest Remarks on Squatters Rights and Crime Won't Please Leftists - Matt Vespa April 07, 2024 - I didn’t have much hope that Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) would be a good senator; he’s a Democrat. Truth be told, it would seem miraculous if he could finish one term. The man suffered a near-fatal stroke during the 2022 election, and the impact on his cognitive abilities was profound on the stump. He was hospitalized shortly after his swearing-in, but since that stay—Mr. Fetterman has been a pleasant surprise. That’s not to say I’d ever vote for him, but he’s a Democrat who is pro-Israel, anti-woke and finds his party’s position on public safety to be a disgrace ............. “Squatters have no rights,” Fetterman said, adding that the issue was one he often dealt with when he was mayor of working-class Braddock, Pa. “How can you even pretend that this is anything other than you’re just breaking the law?” .............. 

Illegals Encouraged to Take Advantage of Squatter ‘Rights’ Laws by 36 Comments - The infringement of Americans’ property rights spins out of control.   A Venezuelan illegal immigrant named Leonel Moreno went viral on TikTok recently with a message to other illegal immigrants that squatting in owners’ homes is an easy thing to do in the United States. “I have thought about invading a house in the United States,” he said in a TikTok video. “I found out that there is a law that says that if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.” He claimed to have “African friends” who have “already taken about seven homes.” Moreno was one of millions of illegal immigrants apprehended and released on Biden’s watch. Fortunately, Moreno’s TikTok antics put a spotlight on him, leading to his arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials and his federal detention. Whether the Biden administration releases him again remains to be seen. But whatever happens to Moreno himself, his message to would-be squatters rings true. Squatters are claiming the right under permissive laws to remain in homes that do not belong to them and to keep out the rightful owners............
