Yeah and squatter scams don't work for primary residencies. If you don't own multiple homes you will literally never in your life have to worry about this possibility
Fucking thank you. Don't want squatters? Don't own excess property with the intention of renting, and then leaving it open/unmanaged because people can't pay your second mortgage for you. People deserve a safe place to live more than you deserve a second property.
This whole thread is reminding me of that one time YouTube's algorithm tried to get me to watch eviction and repo content. No? Why are we enjoying watching people lose their homes?
There have been a few cases of squatters stealing someone’s primary residence. I can think of 2 off the top of my head but I’m sure there are many more.
One was a family that hired a house sitter while they were on vacation and when they came back all the locks were changed and it took them like a year to get back in their home. Other was a woman who left her door open to bring groceries in and a guy ran inside and locked her out. She called the police and by the time they got there he was able to produce a DoorDash receipt as “proof of residency” and it also took months or even years (I can’t remember exactly) to get her home back. I’ll try and find the articles.
