There are two different issues people are bringing up: 
1. People who legally moved into the house and then stopped paying rent. They are NOT squatters. You have to go through the courts. The are delinquent tenants.

2. Squatters have broken into a an unoccupied house and say they have a fake lease. There is a handyman who found a squatter in his mother's house. He went to the police and the police said there was nothing they could do. So he staked out the house and then as soon as the squatter left he entered the house and removed their stuff and put up cameras.

He now has a business removing squatters, not delinquent tenants. He has the owner write him up a lease so he is a legal tenant. Then he stakes out the house and when the people leave he moves in with back-up if necessary. He puts up cameras and will live stream. If the squatters call the police the police come and say it is a civil matter. He then waits out the squatters and makes life uncomfortable for them. He says if the owner has already gone to court then he will not take the job because by going to court the squatters become legal tenants with rights.

He has one video of a celebrity chef who was squatting in a house and the owner who was an older woman with a brain injury was terrified because she was still living there. The squatter called the police when the handyman moved The police said it was a civil manner and the handyman had the right to put up cameras everywhere except the bathroom and the bedroom the squatter was in. The handyman locked the refrigerator and laundry

As more people try to squat, more people are going to go into business of getting a crew together to confront the squatters. I can picture a lot of violence is going to be happening. I would rather pay someone like the handyman $5-10,000 to get out a squatter than deal with an attorney and go to court. The laws need to change ASAP. [/quote]

This is a great idea. Being an evictor would be easy money for some people. Bravo, I say![/quote]
