LL would go to jail

So, basically anyone can move to a DC located house and claim to be a tenant ?

Yes, squatter's rights.

How so?

People don't trust markets, they don't do the math, and don't understand this at all. most go for real estate and you cannot talk them out of it.
My family members who go on and on how they made $80k from their last home. They just got their equity back. Had they rented the same house or similar and invested the money, they would have had $200k.
Same with out other home. We got $50k of our own equity out and family member thinks this means we paid no rent for 10 years. In reality, we lost $200k and were unable to leave the crazy neighbor behind.
I'm renting now. My rent was increased and I gave notice. I can get cheaper rent in the same building and my landlord can try to get what he wants. Win-win.

Warren Buffett, I missed you! What I don’t understand is why you stalk the real estate forum since you supposedly have sold your investments and profess so much disinterest in real estate.

We were LL of a single unit for about 18 years and this was always my fear. This is why we decided to sell and take our unit out of circulation.

I’m sorry this is happening. It really could happen to anyone.
