If done correctly, a squatter can use their money against them. More money means more to lose.

When I went house hunting my realtor came across a 2 family where the landlord lived upstairs and she had this slob living downstairs. He was sitting in the living room at his computer and in back of him in the corner there was huge pile of junk that consisted of mainly empty pizza boxes and soda bottles.

The landlord looked angry and embarrassed that he was there and said oh you can evict him later if you want to but he pays the rent. The Realtors all say something similar that the tenant can be evicted after the ownership changes over but the lease has to be expired to do that.

These people probably purchased this online and didn't see inside until it was to late. I saw an episode of hoarders where a couple with one or two children do that but inside was not a squatter it was a, obviously, an extreme hoarders home. They got the house empty but had to tear it down and rebuild. Never buy property that is not clean and empty when and only when seeing it a few times before the closing.

Actually the time to move in is in the winter, when it's empty. Then when they owners show up on Memorial Day, claim you have a valid lease, and make them take the whole summer to evict you. Then start again in February.

NYS law is 30 days for squatters to claim someone's property. NYC however is only 30 days.

When you buy a house, you're supposed to visit the property many times. During the purchase, it is the duty of the title search company that you hire and the lender's interest to find out any liens, outstanding tickets, debts, and other issues before the house is consider free of liability. Because it's on the interest of the lender.

In the case of the $2mil house in queens, it is more likely the buyer used their own savings to buy the home without going through a lender. Since any lender will want an extensive check of the property, inspection, and documentation.

They should hire a 24 hour DJ blasting music all day in living room. Same song on repeat. Say Maroon 5 or similar crap.

They recently hired the celebrity anti-squatter. One of his tactics is to become the squatter as well with the approval of the homeowner. He will build new walls, add his own furniture, and constantly change door locks and intentionally cause friction with the current squatter as well as block additional people the squatter rents to the house. He will eventually cause stress and financial setbacks to the squatter.

We all must unite to destroy progressive squatter policies.

If he is renting rooms for $50 a night, that seems like a way to move in people on your side and out-squat him.

Yes, it can. You take positions in the house and offer renters a place with contract to preoccupy the home to limit the squatter's ability to take over the whole house.

Since a squatter does not legally have the right to exert control of the whole house, they simply have residency and places that they have belongings can not be removed.

We should have local residents send squatters to politicians homes and allow them to squat in their homes.
