Comments by "0IIIIII" (@0IIIIII) on "Homeowner arrested after standoff with alleged squatter" video.

@matrox lol how are Democrats the blame? Squatter laws are in every state. The people who want their house need to go to court and get an eviction

⁠ @willdejong7763 ok, so let’s say you’re renting an apartment from me. You have a legal lease, but I want to break the lease and get you out of my rental property. So I call the cops and tell them you’re a squatter. You don’t have the lease on you, for whatever reason. Do you think the cops should be allowed to take me at my word and have you thrown out?

@jumboshrimps4498 without renters’ rights it’s easy for the tables to turn, and for unethical landlords to kick you out without proper notice
5
@CrainialCommando yes, but the reason people get tenancy rights after squatting is because the law wants to protect tenants from being abused by landlords.
4
@CrainialCommando the law does distinguish between a tenant and a squatter, go to court and argue before a judge, and if your evidence is good and the facts are straight, the squatter will be evicted and if necessary, hauled out and arrested by cops. But the problem you’re alluding to, is that cops are unable to distinguish who’s a trespassing squatter and who’s a legal tenant. Cops can’t determine who’s who. There are too many details and it’s beyond a cop’s job. Only a court can. A squatter cna easily show or just claim a phony lease and the cops have no way of knowing if it’s true or not. So what’s the answer?
4
@bcgambit80 if you break into a person’s property you will be arrested or worse. A squatter is breaking the law without getting caught by police or the public. So the only way to fight them, is to go to court, and prove your case. Then, you get a judgement, and the police will haul the squatters out.
4
If the police arrive demanding a lease from you every time a landlord says you’re squatting, and you don’t or can’t provide it, then do the cops have the right to haul you out? If not, then no, Florida has not in fact removed squatters’ rights.
3
@Thebrownhammer23 because, giving landlords greater power means inevitably, taking power and protections away from legitimate tenants, and we don’t think that’s necessarily good.
3
@VistaLakesTV explain how the homeowner can prove beyond a doubt to the cops, that 1. They actually own the home. And 2. That the occupant is there illegally. Anyways, why are we arguing? You’re wrong, experts and the law agrees with me not you
3
@patbateman6729 but that’s illegal. You can’t simply retaliate for someone not paying rent. You have to follow the law
3
@patbateman6729 that’s nice and all but if it’s against the law, then you’re a criminal landlord
3
@jumboshrimps4498 you’re correct, and I agree, a squatter has no right to steal from a landlord. But nobody, especially the police, knows for sure who’s a squatter and who’s a legal tenant, and the cops definitely don’t want to throw out a legal tenant and make them homeless. That’s why, to deal with it, you have to go to court. It’s a trade off between protecting tenants and protecting landlords.
3
Getting real tired of ignorant people. The squatters don’t have any rights. They are just pretending to be legal tenants, who have well deserved rights. And thus, a property dispute exists. So you need to go to court as a landlord to get your property back.
2
Not really. A squatter has rights because they’re masquerading as legal tenants. Cops won’t arrest them for anything they can’t be sure is illegal. So that’s why they say, you go to court and get an eviction
2
So…what happens then if you’re a legit tenant and the owner claims you’re squatter?
2
@J.D.Vision ok, so even if you’re a legal tenant, even if you have kids, or elderly in the rental home, and even if you’ve been giving the landlord your money, if you’re unable to find the lease in the police’s presence (how long will they give you?), then you think the cops should be allowed to haul everyone out and all your stuff too? Really?
2
@matrox it’s more or less the same in every state. Some states are more tenants friendly and some are more landlord, friendly but everyone is more or less the same.
2
@VistaLakesTV it is actually really hard to tell the difference between a legal tenant and a well planned squatter. Despite your claims
2
@VistaLakesTV point 1 is irrelevant becuase squatters claim to be renting the unit. Point 2 is irrelevant, cops don’t care about hearsay. They don’t act without proof. And it’s difficult to prove on the spot that a lease has never existed. Or that, per tenancy laws, they have not in fact been there for more than the 60 or however many days. Point 3, you are wrong. The legal and educated experts who run our government don’t agree with you. Your argument is not well thought out, easily dismantled as I’ve done, contradicts decades of legal theory and convention, and is not supported by anyone besides you, and a few other uneducated people on YouTube comments. Get the law changed and then maybe your opinions matter. Until then, I’m right and you’re wrong.
2
@christinematton4125 how do you prove who’s a squatter or a legit tenant? You can’t just tell the cops to arrest everyone you want. Due process
2
The police are not going to make someone homeless over you not providing a lease on the spot. That would enable unethical landlords to evict anyone they like.
2
@robertstout6980 no…I mean everyone who is unable to provide a lease. Do you have leases on you at all times? Anyways this is moot, squatters usually have fake leases.
2
@jumboshrimps4498 ok little bro. Let me explain to you why tenant rights are important. If you’re renting a place from me, the law says I need to give you notice if I want to kick you out. This is to protect you from being homeless. As well, if we have a lease, saying you are entitled to reside here for a set duration, then I likewise can’t uproot your life or break the lease without a legal agreement saying so. Think about what would happen to you if these tenant laws didn’t exist. Imagine you, being thrown out on the street with all your stuff, and not having anywhere else to live. That would be bad for you. That is why tenant laws exist, to protect you and society from other people. Now, the squatters are people who are claiming to be legit tenants, so that they enjoy rights to inhabit, but not actually pay for them. Unfortunately, this is difficult to prove to cops who show up. So, the only solution is, to go to court, make your case to a judge, and then get a judgement in your favor, then the cops will remove the squatters and maybe even garnish the squatter’s wages as recompense. You have options to deal with squatters, you just have to follow the laws, which exist to protect innocent people, despite the fact that squatters may exploit them. Does that make sense to you?
2
@patbateman6729 I hear you bro, but you can’t just break the laws and cutoff utilities, that’s not your place to do so. Until they legally vacate the property, or are made to leave via eviction, their utilities are just that, theirs, not yours. You also can’t trespass on the property they’re renting from you to access your (actually theirs) utilities cutoff switch.
2
@patbateman6729 legally, you may be wrong. You are possibly breaking the law. Be proud of that if you want. But based on what you’re saying, you sound like you are in fact, a criminal
2
@patbateman6729 I am making $150,000 a year age at age 28. I want to be a landlord too actually. In Massachusetts. Not an easy state to be a landlord in. Regardless this is not about me. I’m just telling you, you are breaking the law. Not up for debate. It’s clear
2
@nadjasunflower1387 I assure you my friend that while there are some exceptional cases, paying a lawyer a few thousand dollars and starting the process of eviction, plus, keeping your home secure while away, will save you so much more money than doing nothing or worse, trying to do it yourself outside the law
2
@db-rc5fr all states have laws protecting renters. Some more strongly than others. It’s a balance
2
@thepotatoofheaven a squatter is breaking the law, make no mistake. But the police are not able to tell that. You have to go to court, get an eviction, and then the cops will haul out the squatters.
1
@MnMS1904 voting Democrat is important. The wealthiest states are Democrat and the poorest are Republican. Except New Mexico. Squatters are exploiting laws protecting tenants and lying to the police. This isn’t an issue about blue or red states
1
@J.D.Vision because landlords can and do unethical things to make people homeless, such as whenever they want to terminate a lease early
1
Breaking and entering is a crime. The problem is, that cops don’t know who’s a trespasser and who’s a tenant. The place to resolve it, is in eviction court.
1
@alexandersupertramp7353 ok, so what about when the squatter or tenant claims to have a lease? You’re obviously wrong why are you arguing with me? All the police, lawyers, and judges think you’re wrong and I’m right, because that’s what the laws say
1
@MalignantGarden we’re in a modern society now, and modern laws from modern society reflect modern morals of the people
1
@Moonx09 it’s often easy to prove who a purse belongs to. It is not easy to prove beyond a doubt who’s right in a property dispute
1
@Moonx09 papers can be faked and often squatters have fake leases. Likewise, legit tenants don’t always have leases or have them accessible. Your argument is invalid
1
@Indigolily80 well you’re wrong. The cops won’t throw you out of your home that you’re going paying for just because you may or may not be able to produce a piece of paper that you could easily fabricate anyways. Think
1
@petrzacharias6622 so?
1
@robertstout6980 you assume without proof that squatters don’t work. Also, the example he provided is an example of why cops won’t throw you out immediately if you can’t provide a lease
1
No, NY has laws protecting tenants from unscrupulous landlords. A squatter is, unfortunately, exploiting these laws and masquerading as legit tenants. That’s the problem
1
@grayrabbit2211 this exists in every state. Not just New York. And it exists for a reason, to protect legit tenants from unscrupulous landlords. Unfortunately, some tenants game the system
1
@soldierboyUSA20 so the answer is yes or no? Think
1
@willdejong7763 interesting idea but I foresee a few problems. Firstly leases are not recorded in the local registry of deeds or government. Should they be? Maybe? But that creates expense, can lead to government bloat, and then what happens if one party fails to file? What happens then? We’d be right back to where we started, right back in an unknown property dispute. Secondly, while these squatters are usually breaking the law pretty flippantly, and perhaps as you allude to, landlords who attempt to fleece legal tenants can expect harsh fines to discourage this, not all cases are so black and white. A lot of times they’re pretty morally and legally grey. So what then? In an edge case, should a questionable tenant be allowed to be made homeless even in uncertain circumstances? And likewise, should a “counter-sued” landlord who narrowly loses their case be forced to pay $100k (!!!), over a tenant, who may in fact be as big a dirtbag as the more obvious squatters? No, I think not. I think our current system is pretty good. This landlady has options. She can go to court, get an eviction, the squatters will be gone. She can still do that. That is the only just and effective way to do this, in the effort to protect all innocent parties and punish the wrongdoers.
1
@jh26pt2 the place to get this fixed is in court. Becuase some people are tenants and some people are squatters, and only a court can determine who’s who
1
@db-rc5fr even states with landlord friendly laws have squatters. Because if a squatter claims to have a lease, and it seems reasonable to assume so, the police will not remove the squatter. They will tell you to go to court, and in the meantime, to leave the property and stop harassing the squatter.
1
lol this is a joke. What happens then if a legal tenant is claimed to be a squatter by the landlord? What happens then?
1
@ithunkit5729 rent receipts can be faked. What do you define as rent receipts?
1
@ithunkit5729 that’s good for you, and it’s great that you’re preparing. But…here’s a scenario I can imagine happening. Say your tenant, or a new tenant, stops paying rent. You call the police. You tell them they’re squatting. They tell you they’re not. You show them past receipts. The tenant tells the cops, that you’re lying, receipts have never been used, I’ve paid already…so where does that leave you exactly? Back to where you’d been without receipts. Now, while a court of law may consider this as evidence to issue an eviction, a cop on the street will not take it as proof of trespassing
1
VegieT-be9su leases can be faked by either side and often are, especially by squatters. Try again
1
@BuckFudweiser the squatter will claim that they’re still making payments
1
@thanosianthemadtitanic the laws in every state including conservative states are that the cops will not make you homeless over your inability to produce a lease on the spot. And besides, squatters can easily show a fake lease, making the point moot.
1
@sandyg4646 there are many reasons why. Educated people and lawmakers don’t want people to be made homeless on a landlord’s whim. So we balance out landlords’ rights to use their property as they see fit, with tenants’ rights to not be subjected to rash actions. In the middle of this, squatters are pretending to be legit tenants. But it’s unrelated as to why tenants’ rights exist.
1
@sandyg4646 that’s true, but, the problem is, is that cops don’t know who’s squatting and who’s a legit tenant. And neither they nor the law makers want to make erode legit tenant rights, because while that would enable squatters to be dealt with rapidly, it would also make innocent renters vulnerable.
1
@sandyg4646 well the educated lawmakers don’t agree with you. And believe it or not, leases can be fake, not every legal tenant has a lease, and the state sees value in protecting tenants from being suddenly made homeless on the whims of a landlord, even conservative lawmakers. As well, how do you determine if a lease is even real, from either the tenant or the landlord? Squatters are squatting in part because often, they create a phony lease anyways. How are you or the cops able to determine that?
