[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it takes 30+ days for someone to establish residence.  I’d hope one would know if someone has been in their house for over 39 days.[/quote]
+1 It's not "go out to dinner, and then someone squats in your home".  That would immediately be a B&E since they would not be able to show a valid utility bill in that time, nor would they be able to get rid of all your stuff in that amount of time.

But, yes, 30 days, that's concerning.

We are planning to spend a lot of time traveling when the kids are out of the house. I told DH that squatting is a big concern.  We will have cameras in the house, and hopefully, neighbors who will keep an eye out.  Or, maybe get a house alarm with a company.[/quote]

It works in blue states with ridiculous laws. It does not work in red states and would be down right dangerous in stand your ground states or strong castle law states. [/quote]

Squatters have rights in both Texas and Florida. Blue those states are not.[/quote]
