[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can a law be written to more easily evict squatters such that it cannot also be used against the owner/lawful resident? Maybe it needs to be tailored to apply only to individual homeowners? [/quote]

Require that any homeowner offering an home for rent notify the local government and provide contact information. Then, require that all rental agreements be filed with the local government - can be done by one or both sides. If an agreement has not been filed, it’s not enforceable and rights revert to the homeowner. Also offer owners the opportunity to file a “not for rent” notice that would prevent squatter claims.[/quote]

In our "digital age", this should be easy as pie. Amazing how anachronistic both our municipal laws and operations are.  Shouldn't all these housing commissions be looking at stuff like this?????[/quote]

I’m sorry but no. Having worked on government registry systems, having a rental registry is completely infeasible. [/quote]
