Is this a joke/parody of the current housing market?

WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO OP! And I love a good mystery!

I love that it's now a hot home. That's all kinds of awesome.

Agent X, do you think it could be an adult offspring of the owner who has issues?

DP. No. Because then the owner/guardian could Baker's Act the child with police presence. Eviction and tenant implies this a stranger with legal issues preventing them from being thrown out.

Wow. What a mess.

Me too. The old, moldy moist smell and rotten eggs come to mind.

Does anyone know how this works legally? Assume the owner is still paying property taxes right? How does one evict the tenant in the basement?

Houses in that neighborhood tend to be listed in the high 8s and sell for low 9s. Something like that. I think 800k in that neighborhood is not much of a discount. Of course it can be torn down by someone who doesn’t mind being the outlier with a mmillion plus dollar home in an under million dollar neighborhood (for the most part).

Soon the mantuans will come out to fiercely defend their neighborhood and say how the oil spill happened so so long ago and nevermind it was a superfund site but your neighborhood is probably just as bad. Gotta protect those property values!

In the past 3 months, median home sale value in Mantua was $1M. 35% of homes sold in the last year were $1M or more. If fixed up, it would not be an outlier at all. I would guess this particular house would sell for about $1M if it was in good condition.

Owner of property is dying, estate is not in order. They are trying to not take it to probate which will happen if the owner dies. Kids are running things for now via the POA. Overall condition wouldn't pass appraisal, she said it's in better shape that she expected but there is wood rot, peeling paint. Wood floors have pet damage. I didn't hear anything that indicated it wouldn't pass appraisal but I'll assume that she knows better than I do on this since she's been inside.

Tenant is not a family member. She weasled her way in on the premise of helping the owner. I assumed this was the case, this happens a lot.

The tenant has a young kid and no lease, so eviction is going to be interesting. Tenant also apparently has lots of late-night visitors who come and go. So she's a scam artist it sounds like.

Thank you. You are my favorite DCUM real estate forum poster.

So you really can't get someone out in this situation? That's horrible.

Ugh that tenant/squatter is annoying. So frustrating. I can’t stand this. And it will be hell to get them out.

Sad, we need more rights to evict squatters and tenants, we forget the true victims the owners and landlords. If you are a squatter or deadbeat tenant you should go to jail and be banned for a set amount of time and be forced to be damages.
