Check Your Privilege? Georgia Homeowner ARRESTED for Calling Police on Squatters on HER Property

Back in April, we told you about Ron DeSantis signing anti-squatter legislation. The Left got their undies in a twist over it, calling it a cover for the ‘housing crisis’ instead of what it really is: a protection of property rights.

As Twitchy has told you, states have some messed up squatters rights laws, including New York requiring homeowners pay utilities for their squatters. In a lot of states, if you stay in a property for a certain amount of time — here in Wisconsin it’s two consecutive weeks, in New York it’s 30 days — you are considered a tenant. Even if you never pay rent or sign a lease or otherwise have authorization to be in the property.

The full weight of the government is often on your side.

Which is how a homeowner got arrested:

Just maddening.

This writer believes strict squatter reform needs to happen.

Go to the pound and pick up a couple friendly pit bulls. Build a fence and keep them in dog houses in yard. Now yuze can’t leaves. Snakes down the fireplace. Havana effect them.

Others have suggested hiring people who will go into the locations and be obnoxious roommates with the squatters to get them to voluntarily leave.

this is directly related to property rights……as our property rights are degraded under progressive democrats, so every other right is weakened……property rights are basic rights in a free society that are concerned with individual rights…

Exactly.

In 2024, cops are harder on home owners than they are on looters.

Homeowner should call in brothers, cousins, anyone she trusts, sign agreements to rent rooms to them in the house. They go in, make noise at all hours, nasty smells, stand outside squatter’s room, etc. Judge couldn’t do anything – they’d also have a legal right to be there.

As we said.
