A jury convicted Taylor James Johnatakis on multiple charges, including assaulting officers. The federal judge overseeing his trial grew frustrated with his arguments.
That’s different. That’s squatters rights. All you have to do to claim squatters rights is occupy the home to the exclusion of the true owner under a claim of right. Bam, it’s instantly a matter of landlord tenant law and you’re entitled to summary process (eviction proceedings). Sometimes they can jam that up but it eventually goes through. Then the sheriff or whoever has to serve the eviction. They often combine their squatting with false entries into the land records. That’s when it gets hard.
In the United States, squatting is illegal and squatters can be evicted for trespassing.[36] Real estate managers recommend that vacant properties be protected by erecting “no trespassing” signs, regular checks, tenant screening, and quickly finding new tenants.[45] In Miami, municipal ordinance requires that property owner exercise all legal means to remove squatters and police are empowered to take actions to remove squatters from private property and then bill the owner or lessee.[46]
Yeah, I don’t know why people keep posting that on Reddit and Lemmy. Having been a former landlord, eviction is not difficult, it’s just that some inexperienced landlords are not aware of the laws. You own the property, If someone moves in without an agreement from you, you evict them, or more accurately, you have them charged with breaking and entering, plus trespassing.
I once rented to a couple where the boyfriend became verbally abusive and would throw things at his girlfriend during arguments. The thing is, he wasn’t on the rental agreement, she was. He refused to leave, I laughed and had his ass out within 3 hours.

There is no such thing as squatter’s rights in the United States.
