  1. The problem is lack of consequences You spend all this time and money to get them out and they just leave scot free Instead of evicting them and letting walk away Arrest and charge them and fine them all the damage they have caused and I guarantee this nonsense would stop instantly if the squatters were being forced to pay

  2. While HB 612 is massive step forward, its still only triaging the problem If the owner calls law enforcement, then squatter must provide on the spot, the lease and proof of payment to law enforcement showing they have an actual agreement with the owner and have been making payments. if provided, the squatter is informed that law enforcement will verify their claim with 24 hours and if found to be false, they will be arrested for breaking and entering, fined for any property damaged , fined for any bills that the owner had to pay and fined the amount claimed on the lease The other side of the coin if the owner is found to be lying, then they will be fined for a false report Both parties can argue fines in court and the judge will decide on whether or not if it should be imposed Thats just for starters Like everything, it will be revised over time to adjust for squatter tactics but if you start putting squatters in jail and making them pay money for the damages and bills They will stop Additionally, the law should be revised so homeowners can cut off power and utilities and make so that squatter cant get turn back on Lastly, if the homeowner reports that the people occupying the property has changed the locks, then thats grounds for automatic removal There is no leasing or renting company that ever allows the occupant to change the locks as they dont own the property So they either hand over the keys or be removed

  3. Exactly, there is no reason why they cant sit their behind down and resolve this
