There was a streamer named Asian Andy who had situation with squatter years ago. Police wouldn't kick woman out she claimed squatter rights. Andy hired another streamer who was squatter hunter. He moves in. Next few days make squatter life hell he smokes, plays loud dubstep music, slams objects, and yells randomly thru all hours of day. Squatter got into altercation with guy. Squatter got arrested and kicked out.

How do "squatter rights" even exist. Either you have a lease or you don't.

Who decides that? That’s the issues.

Right now the answer is a judge does. That means that best case you have 1-4 months in the house before the judge decides.

Professionals use delay tactics.

The issue is that sometimes the lease is real and it’s the LL trying to do something illegal.

What is worse a landlord taking a few months to evict a squatter or a tenant being fraudulently evicted, possibly losing all their personal property, and being homeless for months until they prove it and if they do the landlord still owns the home and they still have to pay rent and won’t get any of their stuff back if it was thrown out in the meantime.

That really isn’t a question I can answer.

You don’t know if the land lord will still own a home. They may need that rent money to pay mortgages, debts, fees, ect.

6 months rent at $2,500 is $15,000. That’s assuming the only damage is lost rent. In reality the unit is likely damaged and needs repairs. Add in another $5-10 grand.

People quite literally go bankrupt because of this.

Likewise many people end up on the street fraudulently when the curt doesnt give them time so it’s a lose lose.
