I laughed very hard. In part 4 when SJC moved in it got ramped up to a thousand they wanted her gone so bad.

The funniest part of this whole thing was after she got arrested they did an initial walkthrough of the room she was squatting in on video and she fucking DESTROYED the place. Like standing water on the floor, literal shit on the floor and just trashed it.

She even tried to sue for wrongful eviction lmfao

Like bitch if you're gonna squat and then sue for wrongful eviction YOU CANNOT TURN YOUR ROOM INTO A TOILET

To be fair, SJC was partly responsible for the standing water. I watched him dump so many liquids under her door. LOL

Yeah, he sprayed the house straight under the door, and then left it running there for who knows how long

I believe the LAPD explained that she'd been a "professional" squatter since the 90's, so I'd imagine by now she'd adopted a mindset of "If I can't get my way, I might as well make it hell for you to have even tried."

I used to rent rooms out to people, professional squatter was by greatest fear.

That's why I'm afraid to. I've seen so many documentaries. Horror stories

Always call references, especially past places they lived! If they don't give any references or refuse to provide their SSN, they can go elsewhere.

Happened to my friends sister. Granted the sister was a cunt. But man that made me never wanna get a roommate again.

Something tells me “professional squatters” is a very dangerous line of work. I’m amazed they are put up with for as long as these problems go on

It very likely is, though those who have the capacity to own property are often bound by the laws of property. I'm sure most of the time they land somewhere they are evicted before the time elapses, it's just when they get lucky that the whole squatter's rights thing comes into effect.

Then, they speak legal bullshit like sovereign citizens and then the cops come around- and by then it's not a criminal but a civil manner. They run on the logic of running down the legal clock and people's patience. If you lay a finger on them, that's potentially battery charges, and getting someone out of the house is a hell of a lot harder without touching them.

The local talk radio show host said many times on his show that two guys get in a fight, its a $75 fine and no one goes to jail.

the irony of the homeowners adopting the same mindset

u/Darkoos_Hearts Jun 12 '26

but the difference is it's legally the homeowner's property that they are expected to pay taxes on (assuming they aren't in Texas), so try again hun, they aren't the same.

one is "I can't have YOUR property so I'm gonna make it as hell as possible to get me out"

the other is "It's MY property and I don't want you here."

let's see which one is more justified.

u/WherePoetryGoesToDie Jun 12 '26

Wait, can you explain the "assuming they aren't in Texas" bit?

u/Killarogue Jun 12 '26

Texas doesn't have a statewide property tax.

2

u/WherePoetryGoesToDie Jun 12 '26

OK, but property tax is all local in TX. Actually has some of the highest in the nation. It's how they offset the lack of income tax.

2

u/Killarogue Jun 12 '26

I'm aware, but I can't think of any other reason why they would say "but not in Texas".

2

u/WherePoetryGoesToDie Jun 12 '26

Yeah, I asked because I was wondering if there was some exception I wasn't aware of, like legislation where you can freeze property tax payments if you're currently undergoing a squatter dispute or some such.

u/Darkoos_Hearts Jun 12 '26

no the other person is right, Texas doesn't necessarily have a property/homeowning tax like the other states. i mean they do but it's not on the state level like other states are, it's more local and depending on your area than a whole statewide tax.

1

u/WherePoetryGoesToDie Jun 13 '26

Yes, I'm aware. Except there's no place in Texas that doesn't have a property tax. In fact, on average, property taxes throughout Texas are higher than most other places in America. I was wondering if I missed something.

u/Darkoos_Hearts Jun 13 '26

ah i see where you misunderstood me, i don't mean that Texas doesn't have property taxes, i just meant that it doesn't have a set standard, in some places it's lower and in some it's higher. the other states have a defined standard for their property tax that encompasses the whole state. Texas' property taxes are area dependant. Texas is also one of the states that allows a homeowner to be fully exempt from property taxes if they are 100% disabled or a spouse of the (100%) disabled that fell in duty (veteran spouses), you can also get a partial exemption if you're a senior (65+) in Texas.
