Squatters in the house.

[C-2]

Just saying....I've heard of owners staking the house out, and when the squatters leave, re-taking possession. Just the same as LEO will not arrest the squatter, they will not arrest the owner for trespass and LEO tells the parties to deal with it at court.

I have been a RE Broker since 1989. My wife and son are Realtors and work in property management so we are pretty up on the legality of things here. We will push it as far as we can without crossing the line.

NO TRESPASSING signs will be going up first thing on Monday. High enough to keep them from being remove easily.

Mr. Goodfella made no indication about knowing to have a lease or any other falsified paperwork. So I think we will be safe enough on that front. It would all be a lie anyway.

Years ago I purchased a fixer up from a Samoan woman who was about to lose the home in foreclosure. She basically gave me the house for a couple thousand bucks for moving expenses and signed it over to me. I called the bank and told them the family had gotten together to make up the arrears payments and had hired my property management company to manage the expenses. So they got checks from me and I paid the loan up current.

Her son stayed in the house for a week or so after she left. Well, we weren't gonna bother with an eviction so we just started tearing out walls and all the plumbing fixtures. My guys played Mexican Corrido music all day at high volume. He left the next day. LOL

I've never understood why more people don't go this route.

I'm guessing the same thing will happen this coming Monday?

Good on you.

What prevents them from changing the locks and denying entry?

 

[NicPaus]

If they are still there. Remove the front door and bring it with you.


I remember helping my Dad do that as a kid. We had some rentals in the hood. If they were late with rent He would take the front door. They would usually pay by that night or move out the next day.

 

[Kachina26]

It's CA, things are backwards here.

Yeah, but the wea...
well, you know.

 

[boatpi]

Some areas require posting of no trespassing signs before any prosecution can begin. This is required in Las Vegas as just a good idea. And make sure you go by the property often and take pictures every day showing the no trespassing signs so it’s documented.

 

[ChumpChange]

What did he say, how did he come into possession?

Don’t ask questions you don’t want answers to. lol

 

[Orange Juice]

Unfortunately, the scumbags only need to produce a fake lease and ONE piece of mail delivered in their name and in most jurisdictions in CA it becomes a civil matter. My parents had squatters in a rental property that was under renovation and it was a nightmare. These people were pros, even the Local Police knew who they were.....they knew every nuance in the law to stretch out their free rental for more than 6 months.
I of course offered to get some friends and handle it but my Mom said no way......hope it goes well for your situation!

Cut the power, pull/remove breakers in the box. Take a picture first, so you know where to put them back.

Budweiser FAIL… the real commercial, full length was so good. That abbreviated version sucked.

You were more than fair...

Good luck and fuck those people

 

[Heylam]

Make sure you carve a swastika in your forehead before you go so they know that you mean business. Lol

Squatters in CA absolutely ruined me financially during the Great Recession.

Renters became squatter with free legal aid. I had to walk from my properties after trying to float the notes for two years.

I should have walked sooner. I was young and dumb.

Here in Texas, Marshalls will evict them

I would have burned those places to the fucking ground and then had the squatters prosecuted for arson.

 

[C-2]

In case shiat hits the fan, I can relay what I learned about dealing with squatters after having performed many, many hundreds of REO evictions and lockouts.

LEO will not arrest for a trespass, period. Trespassing is misdemeanor in CA and unless it takes place in front of LEO, nobody is getting arrested. LEO may even tell you they will simply write the squatter a citation/notice to appear at court.

If you press the trespass issue, LEO will tell you perform a citizen's arrest, and then you become responsible for the DA filing a case against the squatter.

And getting that far is not easy, either. The deal is, LEO cannot refuse a citizens arrest. But a LEO supervisor can kabbash the whole citizen's arrest deal if he is uncertain a crime has been committed.

If you were to make a citizens arrest, you are responsible for convincing the DA to file a case. They will refuse to do so. The DA not filing the case subjects you to an unlawful arrest claim by the squatter.

And the unlawful arrest claim is the reason LEO won't arrest a squatter in the first place. They don't want the liability of being wrong.

I believe burglary is always charged as a Felony, but one of the elements of burglary is intent to commit a theft....which is where the wheels fall off.

But you can also use the above to your advantage, see my previous post

Good luck Mandy!

I like that. We would take their TV, but the front door is even better.

Part of the contract Mandelon has is repairing the front door. He had to bring it to a shop for repairs. If asked of course.

Is this the alternative SuperBowl thread?

 

[coolchange]

I've got a few favorite quotes, that I try and remember. That is one that seems to prove true, in business, life, and relationships. It rarely goes my way when I tell someone what my plans are, or I wait for better weather to react.

It may also be Sun Tzu that had a variation of it and was repurposed.

I just picked up and was going over it. Lol.

 

[coolchange]

This happened to my friend. He threw a skunk in the house. Actually worked.


Please keep us updated!

Should one be so inclined, how would one acquire a skunk, or three.? Not questioning the event.
Asking for a friend, of course

Havahart trap. Easy to trap. Stupid critters.

How much you willing to pay for 1? They are plenty here. Getting them out the trap is the hard part.

This should be more exciting than the Super Bowl. Good luck!!

Make 'em watch re-runs of the game and halftime show non-stop. Guarantee, they will be out of there in an hour...........

Where’s Mr Goodfella this morning?

Also on the edge of my seat.. lol.

I just got a call for service at a landlord tenant dispute:

Disturbing party is described as a guy wearing a RD SUX hat and shirt that says "I love Jet Boats." Call indicates he showed up with a couple biker type gentlemen, removed the front door, and is currently walking out with the TV. Additionally, he's blaring Taylor Swift from some portable speaker he attached to the wall inside the house.

I'll advise after we clear the call

A quick update from the job site. There were more of them here this morning. A dentally challenged white guy on a moped and an another black guy with a Latina girlfriend. The couple had themselves barricaded into an upstairs bedroom.

I’ll update when I get home but all the weirdos are out. Ol Goodfella is packing up his van and getting ready to go.

I picked up plywood, 2x4s and Torx screws along with new deadbolts and a couple chains for the gates. Getting ready to batten down the hatches.

 

[boatpi]

Don’t forget the no trespassing signs. I’m telling you that has value if it’s occurs in the future.
And take pictures of the whole place when you leave including the signs tell the neighbors to call 911 if anyone has seen at the property

A little Oooompa music on 12 should clear out the two last holdouts I'd hope.

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

Glad to hear they are leaving

 

[C_J_J_C]

The cheapest money you can spend is hire a "Security Guard" with a big dog. Every time I have an issue I find mutually beneficial arraignment giving someone a place to stay and a few bucks for a few weeks to a month to prevent the return issue.

I like the biker route! Lease to the HA, or Mongols! And invite a few friends to the house warming!

YES!! signs and verbal advisement!

We had a similar issue at our rental in Palmdale. Do not ever own a rental house in Palmdale.

There were seven pieces of shit that had moved in the house, growing weed in the garage and wouldn’t leave. We formally had them evicted where LASD went to the house and kicked them out. We also had the house and windows boarded up. Well two nights later, they broke back into the house by tearing off the plywood we had put over the windows and did more damage.

It may be worth paying one of the construction guys to stay there until they are done. Getting a mean ass dog from the pound, etc?
