Who the hell came up with "squatters rights"? These squatters are trespassing, breaking and entering...thieving. They should be arrested IMMEDIATELY. It's a world gone utterly mad.
-
How unfair that squatters have more rights than the homeowner.
-
Why can’t they be arrested for breaking and entering?🤬
-
The court system is broken..it happened to me in Florida and took months to get them out and trashed the house with absolutely no accountability on the squatters...this needs to be fixed

My uncle had this happen to him one time. He lived in Pennsylvania and was gone for a month. He came home and squatters had moved in and changed the locks. He went to the shed in the back yard that still had his padlock on it and got his chainsaw. He removed the back door from the house with that chainsaw and for some reason the house emptied out within about 20 seconds. They never came back.

They should not be evicted they should be arrested.

I've gone through this myself. On the day we went to court the people in the house never showed up in court and we got the eviction notice paperwork. Went to the house and they were GONE. And the house was trashed. Took us 2 weeks to clean it all up and re-paint and ... what a pain. The courts are upside down.

I heard of a case when squatters invaded and held a home owned by a dog trainer. He came back that night with friends and 6 dogs who were turned loose in the house. Nobody ever invaded his house after that or anyone’s on the street. The Sheriff’s Dept cannot match this result and it’s what we the law abiding citizens need. Fast justice.

People should squat in their government representatives mansions until they change the stupid laws.
-
Squatters are not tenants, and they have no "rights" related to this illegitimate activity.
-
I will never understand how somebody can break into someone else's home, move themselves in, and then have more rights than the homeowner.
-
Unbelievable that people can just move in to anyone's home And you can't have them arrested??
-
"The court system is broken, it favors the criminal". Enough said.
-
Honestly just report it as a home invasion, not a squatting situation.
-
This is sad for Colorado Springs residents. They must file eviction papers, go to court and pay legal fees so they don’t violate criminals rights. Crooked representativeness making laws to help crooks.
-
If they're squatting, nobody would probably notice if they suddenly went missing.............
-
"Renters???" It's called breaking and entering! THAT is an arrest able offense!
-
"The court system is broken and favors criminals", he is right about that!
-
I don’t understand how or why squatters have more rights than the homeowners 🤬the fact the owner has to evict people who have token into another person’s home is beyond ridiculous and that should be criminal itself 🤷🏼♀️!
-
Squatters? You mean criminals that need to be arrested.
