Alternative way to remove squatters from your home | Morning in America

When you can show that it's your house, your property and you pay the bills and the police still can't take any action, you know its time for some law reform.

As a third-worlder, it absolutely baffles me how this is even an issue. If that happened here, those squatters would be dragged out to the streets and beaten by me and all the neighbors.

“Sit on their face??!” That there is GOLD

It’s absolutely criminal that squatters are even protected to their choice to live in a space paid for by someone else, property taxes paid by so I’ve else, utilities paid by someone else. I’m not hateful about “homelessness” but disgusted by the filth, the vandalism, open drug use and literally taking up illegal residence on property they don’t pay property taxes to destroy.

Putting an alarm system on an empty home is a great way to avoid this. Anyone not legally residing there tries to enter and the alarm notifies the police. Keeps anyone from setting up residency. Far less expensive than evictions.

It's absolutely absurd and asinine how squatters can't be charged and removed at once. Instead they appear to have more rights than legal owners. That's totally insane and laws need to be changed immediately. Totally asinine. 😡😡😡

“Sit on their face?” Someone was reliving a memory … 😂

We had a rental property in Vegas, and the same thing happened to us. What we did was, waited until they went to work one day. We rented a U-Haul moved all of their shit into the U-Haul and then took it to a local storage facility. We installed ring cameras and changed the locks. They had damaged the home pretty badly already. And we knew if we were to press the issue when they were still in there it was going to get even worse. So when they got back home from work, we were standing at the front door. They told us to get out of their house. We told them where their stuff was and we told them it was paid for the month. We then told them if they came back on our private property they were going to be met with something shiny and heavy and that goes boom. Needless to say they never came back again. We weren’t about to spend thousands of dollars and go through the court system to get some son of a bitches out of our home! We then sold the property and I do Airbnb now. Only the Airbnb is on my property where I can watch it every single day.

In order to beat a squatter, you have to become one yourself. Watch and wait till everyone is out of the house and then go inside and change the locks. If they call the police to say that you are in THEIR house, the police will tell them it's a civil matter and they have to go through the court system.

It's ridiculous the freedom we give criminals these days.

lol. love it.i did this once. we bought a house but the renter wouldn't leave so I just began moving my stuff in. they got mad and I told them to take me to court.they left! bahah

The fact that the thieves are the protected ones, and looked at as the victim in these situations is so awful. As a home and potential rental property owner this is scary.

The squatter worked for the California department of corrections…let the employer in on this behavior.

Absolutely love this interviewer. She asked the right questions.

I love the way this son took care of his mother!! So scary to think what would have happened had he not taken care of business.

There needs to be people you can hire to do this, give them money and write them a rental agreement and they go in and take over for you to get the squatters out.

My uncles would’ve loved to defend our families homes with force. But put alarm systems on your homes, especially the vacant ones.

Been saying to do this for years. Bullys only want the weak. Great job my man. 😅

God bless and protect this man for taking in and caring for his mom.

I'm baffled how anyone can enter someone else's property without consent regardless if the owner is living there, and this not be and enforceable violation of the law. Squatting laws need to be updated and enforced.
