It Begins… Squatters Take Over NYC

- Squatters are now taking over apartments in NYC. When the owners call the police, its the owners who get arrested, or worse… is this fair, or do NYC’s laws that allow squatting need to be looked at?

I cannot fathom living in NYC. What a clown show.
THese laws exist in ALL 50 states.
This is a US problem not just NY he makes it seem like all his videos are NY probs only. It's a click bait shit he's grifting for views because his old videos started dying. No one wants to watch rent cost videos when people can't afford what he is showing. So he went to grift on New York because, it's a trend now. It's not as bad as he makes it seem, I live in NY.
@@manwithumbrellaNot Florida. Desantis immediately changed the law.
@@ArcherHellsingthats not true. he didnt say it was only there.. you did.
Also.. he lost his job doing rentals likely, and is upset.. of course he can film his experience..
@@laikanbarthRon is clearly doing good for florida.. i would know
Squatter laws should not even exist in the 1st place...
That's true. But democrats exist.
They were meant to allow people to occupy abandoned properties in which an owner could not be found or died, no family etc.... 30 days is retarded though. It's like NYC hates home owners and it's trying to punish them.
Makes sense after a (GENUINE) plague or something. Lot of unused buildings.
Makes sense if there are a bunch of unoccupied houses a soulless corpo just bought out to rent to people for exceedingly large sums of money.
Makes sense for truly abandoned property. Better someone lives there than no one being allowed to despite being part of a ghost town or something.
Otherwise? Agreed, shouldn't exist.
Its tenant law
I feel ZERO pity for anyone this happens to if they voted for democrats. You get what you vote for.
My next door neighbor is deployed and she has squatters in her house. They gave them 4 months to get out. They have destroyed her house its so sad.
That's disgusting. 😮
I was reading about a house a foreigner bought in CA for $42 million. He had to hustle out of the country when he got caught scamming people. The bank put the house up for sale to recover money for those he scammed. Squatters moved in within a week and the bank could not get them out for months! By the time the recovered the house, so much damage had been done to the house it was valued at $4 million!
@@sortathesame8701 wtf, weren't the squatters sued or anything?
Why didn’t she have a family member in need of shelter or something housesitting or something to avoid this from happening??? Smh if you leave your property unattended to during a time like this, it’s almost like you’re asking to get your home taken care of
Who demolished the house the neighbor or the squatter?
I love how you are stepping up and using your platform to speak out and honor common sense. It is crazy how today’s moral compass seems to not only be broken but shattered 😔
I’d sue the fucking judge
Yeah, the moral compass is now so "moral" it's gone past common sense and went towards blind morality.
IMHO it's because contemporary pop culture glamorises and glorifies crime, violence and amorality, particularly modern "hip-hop". I know that's a clichéd argument but I really think it's true. Kids are looking up to these nihilistic, hedonistic criminals because they look cool in music videos and project an image of being "untouchable". It's incredibly depressing.
This is fking ridiculous! Why does the law protect the criminals and not the HOME OWNERS? I bet if the homeowners didn’t pay their taxes the city would certainly GET INVOLVED! 😤😡
Who do you think controls the whole world?
for one... the numbers are predicting a 50/50 rental/ownership rate in the US, very soon. not gonna be many "owners" left. i understand you dont advocate for "squatters" rights.
but this is a pretty simple concept. 🙃
The choice these days is between common sense and absolutely deranged lunacy. Choose wisely.
they aren't homeowners, for the most part they are corporations and it's empty apartments being taken over
@@taintwasher3703ah yes that makes it ok steal. Also some of those corporations are just a person who owns a few properties to rent
That's crazy. A squatter can change the locks on the doors, but the home owner gets arrested for charging the locks on the doors.
Most leases say can not change locks too.
All logic, common sense, decency, was lost back in 2021. And it's only gotten worse. Property rights are the foundation of America. Without that, there is nothing.
@@musictosoothe "common prosperity".
Dont forget to thank the police for their services!
Hey man! Good add for all squatters!!! Let them know the law of how “squatt” also government!!! 👍🏼
I used to own eight buildings in New York City. I sold them in 2003.I never had problems squatters. I know my temper and I wouldn't tolerate squatters. I am so glad that I left New York State and the United States.
I sold all my rentals - they were nice places and I spent alot of time picking good people. I WOULD STILL have issues. Renting a basement when you also live there is a great way as a young person to build wealth, but once you move out, sell.
As someone that wants to buy property would you recommend buying rental In Philadelphia/Pennsylvania area for first time home buyers?
@zekrom2106 Philly is a nightmare
Squatters are not tenants, so why does the NYC legal system protect squatters as if they are tenants. Even if the squatter lives in a property for more than 30 days, their mere entry is breaking and entering which demands punishment. The police must enforce breaking and entering laws as vigorously as squatters rights, if not more so, since squatter are not tenants.
Watch shortfatotaku. He made a great video on this topic and explains why
Is like that in all of the west world. Germany takes YEARS to evict squatters
Blue votes
@oreziopancrazio3685 really? Sorry.
Can I go to German?
How can stealing a home be legal??? Our legal system is going straight to Hell.
Dont forget to thank the police for their services!
Pretty sure the idea of legalizing the stealing of a home is democrat.
The legal system is fictitious, fraudulent. And if you're claiming to be that trademark on "your" driver's license, so are you.🙄🌊
police don't make laws. @@charliequizinator5405
Because it's a legal system not a justice system
Florida just passed a law that makes it a crime to squat or to offer a property you don't own for rent or sale. It also makes it a crime for a property owner to falsely accuse someone they rented to of squatting, to protect legitimate tenants. Squatters can be removed by the police pretty much immediately.
It baffles me that "squatting" isn't a crime everywhere.
@@tizodd6 Technically it is breaking and entering, if you can prove they broke into the home in the first place. If you put up a no trespassing sign, you can get them for that too. The problem comes when you don't catch them for a long time.
Florida has a Republican Governor who cares about law and order. Vote out all Democrats before it’s too late.
I’m so thankful for Governor DeSantis! 🙏
DeSantis is definitely not a democrat governor. He protects his people and gets rid of squatters. He is doing such a great thing for his constituents. I’m with you, governor. Keep it up. Those illegals should be deported anyway.
I lived in NY in the 80's and 90's. I heard stories that people would find an empty apartment and make a lot of fake leases. They would hold an open house and "rent" the place, taking a 1 1/2 mo security deposit from several people. Terrible when they all showed up on the 1st :/
It's pretty amazing that you did a fourteen minute explaining something that one would think is unthinkable in a lawful society. Moved out of NY five years ago and I can't ever imagine coming back.
Move to Germany, they got even more laws and nearly everything is illegal, you are going to love it there.
Florida just signed into law protecting homeowners from squatters. As of July 1, police can immediately remove a squatter from the property if he can’t show proof he rents there or the house is his. It’s also a felony if squatter causes more than $1000 in damage to property. All states need to enact this law.
Not Florida. a REPUBLICAN politician because they ain't dumb
Well, it’s a Republican state, of course! But in New York City it’s all Democrat of course it’s gonna favor the illegal resident
@@gandolfidentifiesaswhitewi8493you think Republican politicians can't be dumb? My friend, both sides are truly smooth brained in this country. Just pick your poison. It's not as bad as it could be, but it's not good.

Nadia Vitels was murdered by Squatters in Manhattan. She was found by her son dismembered in a bag… JUSTICE FOR NADIA!
Justice will do nothing for Nadia because she's gone.
@@disguiseddv8ant486Says you
Look. Murderers were black people. It would be racist to convict them. They'll probably be set free and given free housing and money

Squatters vote Democrat! Alvin Bragg supports squatters and so does Kathy Hochem. Vote DNC
@1:55 somewhere in an alternate universe…someone is making a YT video about how “NYC has gotten so bad, crazy men are screaming into newspaper boxes!!”
Cash, you rock. I like how you covered both bases of this issue.
The sad thing is that poor woman will go through the court system for months, pay a lawyer, take time from work, and even if she wins, those squatters ,guaranteed ,will destroy her property, since there was no lease, how is she to collect for damages?
You usually can't collect for damages with a lease.. only the security deposit
@@lorrie5881You can, but you have to sue separately for any damages beyond the value of the deposit.
@@lorrie5881 Charge them with vandalism..
And she has to pay high property tax every year no matter what happened....wow!!!
Sue the city & state
It's trespassing and theft. Ban "squatting".
Its you'll own nothing and be happy by 2030 playing out right in front of you.
@@chronicblast5505Sheep lack ears to hear.
Its not possible while all this Democrats loonies running your state or city
So true I live in Atlanta and they have been breaking into homes for sale with a fake lease they printed out and a single mailed letter and the police say it's a civil matter that takes MONTHS so the owners can't sell, can't rent, and when the court date comes the squatter trashes the place cause thousands in damage and leaves. And it's ALL on the homeowners dime! It's insanity
Wasn't Norm McDonald in a movie "Dirty Deeds" and AC/DC even made a song for the movie? I sense a business opportunity requiring a dozen guys, some pipes, a vehicle or two... sounds lucrative. It has to be less expensive than letting hobos and illegal aliens trespassing and weaponizing the law against you.
Thanks for the video content! 🙏
"lawless city"- you nailed what NYC has become. Sad, very sad. I have not visited in 4 years due to this lawlessness.
Why can the homeowner get arrested for changing the locks but the squatters don't get arrested for changing the locks? that doesn't even make sense.
Police don't handle "civil" matters so if you print out a lease you get to stay. It's literally insane! It's happening all over the country
@@StarsAndAngels Should be a criminal matter, as squatters are trespassing.
Because of slumlords. One way tenants ensure that quality of life issues get fixed (ie plumbing, pests, ECT) is by refusing to pay rent until it's fixed. Slumlords use to lock tenants out of their apartments for nonpayment, saying that they're a squatter, meanwhile, have rats and roaches crawling all over the place. This happened a lot in the 1980s when NYC was controlled by the mafia and other crime lords.
does it really matter getting arrested these days they just let you out in a couple hours...bit of truth/sarcasm
@@bradc32 there's vids going around of women getting sucker punched in NYC and the perpetrators are getting same day release. it's such a clown show, what a fucking mess these places are.
There's a guy in Southern California you can hire, who you give a lease to, and he will move in with the squatters. The theory is that both the squatter and the anti-squatter have rights that need to be sorted out in court, but that takes months. He makes life so miserable for the squatters (he stops bathing, he stays up all night, he invites friends over, he eats their food) that they decide to move out.
9000 IQ Solutions.
Yes. His name is Flash Shelton. There is a CZcams video about him. He has been on some TV shows because of what he does. Successfully.
Inviting his friends over is wild. Now you’re hiring bums to remove bums with the possibility of moving more bums into your home. Hope that works out.
@mrrodriguezHLP If every New Yourker "thinks" like you, you have serious problems over there! ;)
@@citizendaine218 he's not a bum. he got into the business because that's how much he hates them haha
That’s crazy! Squatters have no rights in somebody else’s property. The lawmakers have no brains.
This guy makes great informative videos.. good job!!
Florida just signed that this can no longer happen. If squatters in your home just call the cops and they are gone
I can't stand DeSantis, but I'm all for this newly enacted law.
YOU CAN EVICT AND ARREST YOUR MOTHER, FATHER, WIFE, CHILD UNDER THE FLA SQUATTER LAW!!! JUST SIGN A STATEMENT CLAIMING THEY ARE SQUATTER
Yeah, but Florida had competent leadership.
The entire country in all states should have this law. Otherwise, squatters go to the people's homes that are standing by your side...like the Demoncrats...
Only few states aka states will decide for the lives what to do with or tolerate squatters like ny and California, but benefit to relocate squatters into slelct states and other states can be homeowner havens without trouble, if you think about it that way akak a solution to benefit all
Unlawful entry, trespass, mail fraud? Where are the mayors vacation homes?
Locked the fuck down smh
They got one in LeBron's neighborhood! Go get you one! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Probably in Florida.
Great video! Extremely informative, very well made cinematography
This is amazing!!
Somehow squatting went from people overstaying their lease or stopping their mortgage payments. To literally invading homes and refusing to leave.
FLA NO DEVORCE NECESSARY: JUST SIGN THAT HE OR SHE IS A SQUATTER AND
COPS MUST ARREST AND EVICT THEM!!!!
So this is the difference between american movies and american reality. Haha, USA is the biggest brainwasher of Earth. At least back in the days they used to care about their own citizens. Now it's like they are selling out their own country. USa will collapse fast if they go on like this. The crazies have taken over, there are a lot of dark stories there.
Gentrification isn't as easy as they thought it was. The US developed backwards from the rest of the world, the lower classes were left with what should be the most expensive land, then someone decided to reverse that with supply side rental pricing. People got to go somewhere, you can pretend they are trash you can throw out, surprise.
Stop owning multiple homes.
@@ToeHoganwhat are you talking about? if you make a company in life and want a vacation home to retire with and can afford it, go for it. ANYWAY, most of these squatter issues are with people who DONT HAVE ANOTHER HOUSE TO GO TO. if they did, they could chill there through court procedures that take a while, but they would get it back. the issue is with new homeowners buying homes and can’t afford to stay elsewhere during the court process.
Imagine trying that in Texas. That squatter would have a meeting with a 12 gauge before seeing the police
unfortunately Texas has squatters right laws too. My family member lives in a low income apt complex. A squatter broken into apt, sent himself a letter immediately. He rents floorspace to friends so he can buy drugs. It's been a year bc eviction courts are backed up. Apartment complex can do nothing while they watch them tear the place up.
@@molotavcocktail1 you're a stronger person than me. I'd go in with a mask and several people. You have some strong restraint.
@@molotavcocktail1 they just passed more laws here in tx for it - but regardless, squat in my house and refuse to leave - fine. if im gonna be rendered homeless then said squatter will be rendered swiss cheese.
@@Slay_No_More agreed, Vigilante justice needs to come back when the justice system is broken
@@molotavcocktail1 you're missing the point. a texas patriot is revoking those squatter's 'rights' without the court's approval.
I knew it !!! Squatting became so popular for a reason ! It's a very good excercise for your legs and back !!!
Thanks for explaining the laws
My brother owns multiple rentals in New York. He's a great landlord and doesn't gouge people on the rent so he had little turnover. But what he does is when someone moves out his handyman moves in until it is rented. It's a new world out there.
brilliant idea!
Glad to hear there are some reasonable landlords who do things properly using legal solutions.
Good idea, but it should never have been a thing he needed to do in the first place.
@@molotavcocktail1 Exactly. Or hire a housesitter. Problem solved.
where I live squatters rights don't kick in until 12 YEARS has passed. 30 days is absolutely insane.
New Jersey just across the Hudson is 30 years. It's crazy that New York's laws are so easygoing with property theft.
Must be Alabama
Think many states have squatters rights after 10 years......yes, 30 days is obscene/insane.
Honestly, if nobody notices after 12 years, that seems fair. The property was obviously being neglected
It's 25 years in my country and you need to prove you've been maintaining the property for that long and that no one has come forth claiming ownership..
Moose and Rocco are going to have a booming business soon.
Good channel. You’re dealing with the problems.
Meanwhile in Florida, De Santis just signed a bill authorizing immediate removal of squatters as soon as the owner proves ownership.
My only regret is that I didn't move to Florida from NYC sooner.
Just goes to show even a broken clock shows the right time twice a day...
so, I hope you don't vote democrat anymore.
NY needs it immediately
@@EdHunter55 Living in Florida for over 20+ years I can confirm it is a broken clock lol
@boondoc001 I've been here for 10. I prefer this broken clock
Florida just ended squatters rights. The rest of the country needs to follow suit. But IMO, if the squatters are here illegally, then that in itself should be a whole other charge.
In Texas "squatters" only get rights after living their for 10 years. Before that it is tresspassing and you can be legally shot.
it should be, but if the biden coup continues the illegals will be practically ushered into our homes
That’s great news! I remember when my team and I would have to cover stories involving squatters issues nearly every week when I worked at a news station in Florida.
Where's the Biden Administration.?🇺🇸?
They’ve demonized DeSantis so much that even when he does something for regular, law abiding, citizens they make it seem like it’s wrong so they will probably swing in the opposite direction in Democratic led states.
You’re actually giving more people the information on how to squat!
Lots of empty homes at Martha’s Vineyard and bald head island. Squatters should go to those high end vacation area with empty homes.
I can remember when squatting/trespassing used to be felonies called "breaking and entering" and "burglary." So quaint!
That's before Bruce Jenner became a chick
Squatter laws are old laws. But the people have forgotten civilization and have gone into lawlessness as more people are more and more secular. Besides that our president opened the floodgates at the borders to allow illegal migration! Tik Tok is teaching illegals how to squat in homes. Thanks Biden and China!! Call your State Representative and insist that Squatter laws be rescinded!! This flood of lawlessness is because this nation has forgotten God and have not trained up their children in God’s Word!
People who blocked traffic? We called them highwaymen and there were these constable folks who came and dealt with them. It was all very orderly. I guess that's seen as the big F word now? I'm not making this up I remember growing up and hearing one of the reasons Mussolini's government was bad was because the trains ran on time. I guess it disturbs people's racist idea of a lazy Italian? Is that it? You can tell NYC is a vibrant wonderful place thanks to it's metro tunnels. Meanwhile that's how you know Moscow is double plus bad are the clean tunnels. Clean=hate. What are you trying to wash away? Your sins? Your racial guilt!?
@@Drak976 You actually sound like a crazy rambling person that nobody could possibly make heads or tails of what you're trying to say.
They still are, in some states.
Just not states containing, NYC, LA, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Baltimore, San Fran, etc.
Reasons to leave/not go to New York.
1. Incredibly High Rent
2. Squatters Taking you to court over your own house
3. Normalized crime
4. A terrible metro system
This sh.t happens in all states. Florida just banned it but in every single state there is a law you help squatters yo some degree.
This country is going backwards.
Kinda funny you think this just happens in NYC😮.it happens in all around the world
And Democrat… That’s reason number one.
Dirty too
have fun on the farm then
Squatters includes relatives of a tenant who visit and stay. It took me over a year going to court with a lawyer to “evict” the squatters of my senior tenant who passed soon after they came. I could not turn off any utilities or change the locks! They lived for free during that entire time. I still had to pay the mortgage and all utilities which put me into debt. They moved when they felt like it and I still had to wait 30 days more because they did not give me the keys. Of course the lawyer and the police had to be called for my evidence just in case they returned in the future. Squatters also include friends or family who stay and visit for 30 days or more and refuse to leave. Owning a home makes you a landlord which is considered a business!
I went through this so I moved in with the squatters and drive him crazy and once he left fora week I filed a no trespass order to keep him away until the court date for the eviction.
My wife (the smart one in our house): "Why doesn't New York just require that a tenant/landlord agreements be registered with the city, with a start and end date? This removes the guesswork on the part of law enforcement, and could generate a little bit of revenue for the city. No matter how long the squatter has been there, if they are not recognized by the city as a "registered" tenant, they have to leave. There, problem solved!"
No need to pile laws on top of existing laws. Just remove squatter's rights and restore private property rights.
@@keeleye7225that suggestion does remove the squatters rights
Because it would mess up the Democrats plans!
The smart one would just create more paper work, unnecessary fees, complications for landlord. Just get rid of the insane squatters rights law. Poof...it
@@ghs5216Squatters rights, and tenants rights were created for a reason. The laws are bad, but if you don’t understand why they are there and you just rip them out, you’ll have other issues. It is a good point that yet another bureaucracy is likely not a good idea in NYC. (One of the costs of too much government is the inability to convince the populace you need more government even if you actually do).
Cash is correct, it’s complicated. In the meantime, don’t leave property unattended. That’s one of the reasons these laws exist in the first place.
If you find SQUATTERS living IN YOUR HOME, what you have to do is:
Wait till they’re not at your home. Write your friend a lease. Get your friend to go break into your house and move in. Then when the squatter tries to come back into your home, they will be breaking in. Your friend can then call the police and have the squatter arrested for breaking and entering. Your friend, as a tenant, will have more rights to your home than you will, as an owner.
Perfect !
I know of a guy that did that with 5 of his ol' Army buddies. These guys came in ate some food, drank some beer, put their feet up until the squatters had enough and finally moved out.
This is the best solution. Who wants to be an owner in NY. Thanks for sharing
I just saw this exact solution on another YT channel's video as a solution as to how to deal with this squatter problem
Squatter would just move into the neighbor's apt
I like that you put your phone in things to flim ... people just thinking you are off your rocker talking to the news paper box hahahahahah
@Cash-LOVE the content, film style and public/consumer education content. Hope a cable network with money gives you a channel & that Adams is a regular subscriber.
I have a feeling that this stuff is going to end not because they care about us but because squatters are taking mansions now close to where these powerful people live.
Yes!
Dingding ding. And we all should too 😈
Sleep in the same room as the squatters.
Maybe the owners should team up with the squatters and tell them where they get better homes and then send them to politicians houses 🙈
I had a squatter from 2019-2023. It was a nightmare. Countless court dates. She finally got evicted thanks to a judge who excercised common sense.
sounds like being a landlord is not worth the hassle these days, complete waste of capital even if someones inherits a house they don't need.
@@dbased1915tbh, it encourages people to sell it and we need more homeowners instead of corporations buying houses.
For FIVE years? I would pay some scary dudes $1,000 to remedy the issue for me. Lol. Seems we gotta take things into our own hands if we want anything done. Glad you got it taken care of. That's insane.
IN the meantime, you're paying a mortgage and taxes to maintain ownership. Complete madness.
During the pandemic you weren't allowed to evict tenants if they couldn't pay. I had a guy in my basement and he moved in a couple of months prior to the pandemic and the majority of the year he didn't pay and we couldn't legally kick him out. Turned out he was a pathetic drunk and would forget his keys and then forget his lock code after the lock was changed out due to him constantly forgetting his key and would pee literally right outside the door when he couldn't get in. The pandemic and shutdowns caused a lot of problems for a lot of people and squatting became too legal at that point so, don't judge anyone that has had to deal with horrible people like that.
I’ve been in the industry since 2001. The changes and legalities have been a 180 degree change in what I used to know.
I'm In Australia and it's 12years over here not 30days my mind blew when U said 30days
12 years for adverse possession, 30 days to establish residency
@@Windwardob oh ok that makes alot more sense thank U
I was a landlord in RI. I said was….this happened to me. Unfortunately the squatter died of an OD in the back bedroom two weeks before eviction court. He talked my son on the spectrum into getting in there. When my son wanted him out, he called the police. My son went into a meltdown and all of a sudden, there is a restraining order against my son and his “friend” lived therefore 4 months. I had to pay all the utilities. I’m selling. It’s not worth it anymore.
This happens to all Democrats run cities and states its their blueprint
Super ‘unfortunate’
Sad to see this is happening... I would suggest to invest in living abroad. It's cheaper, your money will multiply.
Sounds like you and your son created this particular problem, and it has nothing to do with squatters. Deal with it
So sorry.
thats crazy. In my country if you dont have a legal written contract the owner of the building can simply call the police - who will then evict the squatters with as much force as needed.
Is this a joke, is this the most powerful and advanced country in the world? What an investigation by police, Bravo!
This is hideous! Fire the Governor! Fire the Mayor! This has to change NOW !!!
Why? The voters wanted this. Virtue signaling has consequences.
Go do something about it if you care so much
This is an issue in many states sadly. Luckily, there is a bill in the New York State Legislature that will change these ridiculous laws.
The fundamental problem is that people think their own version of government will solve their problems. They're wrong.
Stop voting for them!
Zero tolerance for squatters, no questions.
Zero sympathy for lefty voters.

Feeling sorry for the house owner.
How many times can I say how grateful I am that I moved out of NYC. Born and raised there but as soon as I retired I left.
"Squatters rights" isn't just a NY problem tho.. But their are some states that do ban these laws. Not many tho. Smh
Sadly if we don't stop this our whole country will be like this,this is total BS.Flordia finally put an end to this,make more safe cities then turn around and wonder what went wrong
@@jashanestone NYC has some of the most relaxed squatter's rights laws in the country, it isn't the same everywhere, most places you just give them 30 days notice and they have to leave, whereas NYC evicting a squatter can take years.
That woman with the ear muffs is a hero! She brought true attention to squatter laws and hopefully there will be change.
You guys went to school; why don’t you just read up on laws in your states. There is nothing like squirters laws in New York or any state. The CZcamsr is just lying. The video with the lady, there was evidence that they paid rent to someone claiming to be her agent. The video is the one scamming you
Squatter Hunters. They get rid of squatters.
Someone drafted a bill that would increase the amount of time someone would have to be in the house ,and the police can get involved.
This is so sad. I’m so thankful that my apt complex installed locks that require a code, no key!!! Nothing is fail safe, but it makes it a lot harder for a squatter to get in.
Just to give you an update the guy was officially kicked out and was arrested as well the lady has her house back
$5200!!!! for an apt? and thats reasonably priced?! thats beyond crazy.
Most people in New York are making $200,000 or more it's like I tell people it's not about how much you make it's how much your money buys. Making 20 bucks an hour in New York is poverty but making $20 an hour in some places is wealthy. But since federal tax laws are a blanket policy it doesn't take into account cost of living the federal tax brackets are across the board so the people making 200,000 which would be the equivalent of making 70 to 80,000 in other places are taxed much higher because of the federal tax brackets.
Also that apartment is a dump in the ground, not even worth 52.00 a month :P
@@Ultimusvivi Perhaps "most people" working on Wall St are making $200K. But most people in NY aren't making anywhere near that. Per the US Census, the median HOUSEHOLD income in NYC is $76K. The per capita income in 2022 was $48K. Enough to sleep on a studio apt floor, or to sleep on a park bench and hope you don't get mugged.
Location, location, location. You can make a mint working in NYC so...
@@ShawNshawN See the comment posted literally just above you. The majority of people living in New York City are not making enough money to afford that apartment.
This is so wrong! NO property owner should be arrested for defending their home! The laws need to be changed. It is not only NYC, most major metro areas are at risk.
At risk for what?? The citizens of these areas literally voted for progressive policies and politicians time & time again... they got exactly what they voted for!
Worked on American Natives. Worked in Israel. Works on US. Wouda seen that coming?
I mean NY has been deep blue for a long time, they all voted in this shit, its hard to have any sympathy.
In Spain is even worse! Only 48 hours and the squatters cannot be thrown out. 48 hours!, And the owner has to continue paying for electricy and water otherwise is taken to court. We're living in a dystopia and it's scary.
Squatters get mad because they are finally legally told to leave, then they destroy the property, leaving the owner to foot the bill for repairs.
I bought an old hoarder house recently with the hoard still inside, it wasn’t habitable for the first few months I owned it. I had a lot of work to do before it was livable and I could move in. I was petrified of squatters showing up while I was working on the house and pulling this crazy stuff.
I live in Texas, and we don't play this game here. Squatters have no rights here, just as it should be.
Darn it! Yes they do! It may not be as tough as some states but they do have to jump through some hoops! I googled it! Hopefully they will follow DeSantis and change their squatters law too. I'm a homesick Texan and I expect more from Texas ... but they do have their hands full right now with the illegals!
thats how it is in every other country other than america xDDD
Incorrect. Texas is even worse for owners.
@@scoper7897 Many other countries have this same problem. You "only in America" people convey nothing but ignorance.
Oh gah, another yeehaw yapping about their garbage state.
Former rental property manager here. In most states there are specific laws protecting both renters and landowners.

look at who their AG is in NY State
Easy answer…. Woke lunatic agenda

@@julianciahaconsulting8663 LOL ... NY's adverse possession law has been around more than 100 years.
I've heard alot of crazy squatter stories. A few years ago squatters moved into a very expensive house, something like $2 million dollar house, that was still on the market. It took 2 years to get them out. When the owner was finally able to get them out and gain re-entry back into the home, the squatters had poured concrete into every toilet, down every tub and shower drain. The house was built on a concrete slab. The owner had to dig up the concrete floor to gain access to the drainage pipes, some of it even getting into the septic system. It cost them almost a half a million dollars just to repair the damages. When it was finally sellable again, the owner was only able to get back a small portion of what he had to pay to repair the place, he couldn't raise the price of the property to get back what he invested in the property because of the comps. This all is a nightmare indeed!!
cameras everywhere outside and inside to see every inch :D physically going there doesn't make much since because someone could be watching you do "routine visits" and just mark their entry and exit around those visits unless your gonna have variable check ups
What they don't show often enough is how squatters will strip a home! The owner gets it back to find all wiring removed ect.
They’ll make a real “meth” of the place. Heheh
what they don't show you is that squatters vote DNC
@@passchen-fail3704 heehehehe
So this is the difference between american movies and american reality. Haha, USA is the biggest brainwasher of Earth. At least back in the days they used to care about their own citizens. Now it's like they are selling out their own country. USa will collapse fast if they go on like this.
Floridas governor just signed a bill that allows owners to get rid of them fast, and makes it a felony. Felony for the owner also if they unlawfully kick out a actual tenant.
Exactly. It is as if NYC laws are so fundamentally stupid, that you think they were written by NPC politicians.
Most of america has a way to deal with home invaders, it's called Hollow Point
Your right, homeowners need to protect their property with cameras, monitor interior on a daily basis (with video proof) and most importantly, have good neighbors who inform owners if someone is living on the property.
Lol if someone breaks and enters a home of mine... lol I have tears in my eyes thinking of how we're soooo not going to court.
Same story in Spain, there have been cases of old people who were at the hospital for surgery, and after only 2 weeks away they found out that their home was squatted. Squatters have more legal rights than owners. It's nuts!
Thats sad. I cant believe its happening worldwide.
well spain has the problem that its in their constitution, legal right to have a roof over your head basically
I get the impression that Spain is severely infected with "progressivism" just like the US.
@@melindatarnow5713 I thought only MY country (USA) was insane enough to let this happen.
@@melindatarnow5713 Spain is a leftist hellhole.....
It's hard to make Canada look sane, but New York has done it!.
squattera are everywhere in the US.
whats wrong with canada? genuine question, thanks in advance.
I'm from Eswatini.... Africa.... the fact that here you know that there is about 95% chance that the owner of the house would just kill you if you try to take his home from him makes us have 0% of this idiocy
No it doesn't, Canada took woke and is still running with it. No one is trying to save yalls kids. Just wait until they grow up and start running things. You think Canada is crazy woke now, them kids will grow up and push that made up world they had groomed into them on everyone and they will hold jobs of power. That's why they went after the kids. Just wait this shit isn't over even when Trump wins. The seed of woke has been planted in young kids, now it just needs to grow.

Dude, WTF?! I keep waiting and waiting for you to explain how that apartment is squatter proof and you never do!
I use to work from home for New York and this use to be a big problem then too :/
What a clown world we live in, and the politicians running that city are the entire circus.
And the people who elected those politicians
NYC isn’t the only place this happens.
Good reason to vote them all out
What about the useful idiots that knowingly voted them in?
If you study history, lawlessness is any dictator's first step to get into unrestrained power.
This has started happening in Atlanta as well because of TikTok people telling them how to show up print a fake lease so when you call the police saying someone broke into their house the police say it's a civil matter! And the legal process takes more than 30 days and now they have rights!! INSANE
If you break in and steal a TV you can go to jail. If you break in and steal the house you're protected. I cannot wrap my head around it.
@@Al-Gore-ithm it is a level of insanity I can not understand! It happened to a lady that went on one of those summer cruises came back and people just living in their home! It was on the news and just crazy!
tik tok is ccp spying on US
hopefully tiktok gets fucked up and banned for always.
@@StarsAndAngels I'm in the process of buying a home and about to close. I could not imagine closing, then going to move in only to find out a squatter is in there!
Florida has very strict anti squatter laws as of recently, giving the police the ability to remove squatters.
I saw this problem in the Netherlands. They solved it by renting out those places temporary to people who were in need for a house, for u huge discount on the monthly rent

@@disguiseddv8ant486 Oh a comedian I see 😂 Yes the Communist Narrative Network would never be misleading 🙃
he leaves out Letitia James role in this squatting issue - shouldnt he have interviewed her on this squatting issue to find out what her views are since she is the top lawyer in NY State?
I agree with your final point about giving power back to the property owners. It’s called private property for a reason, so why would I need to go through public channels to solve the issue
Thanks joe.
Im from Germany, we have clear documentation on such things. Both parties have documents, if someone claims they own a place or living at a place, that can be clarified with a call and your ID. So this whole squatter thing looks crazy to me.
It's happening all over Europe. Go look at the UK it's even worse.
This scam takes full advantage of the corrupt and incompetent American legal process.
ikr? German here too, and this feels like I'm watching some kind of twilight zone episode. This should be impossible. It can be made impossible. Yet here we are.
CZcams hid my comment. They've been extremely prudish lately. Was it the word "incompetent" I wonder? Or perhaps it was in using it to describe our court system? So prickly.
This is done by design though. Its the problem with liberals and the fact they care more about foreigners than they do American citizens. America has a liberal problem more than anything. All the cities that are falling to shit like NY have been run into the ground on purpose. Things don't get this bad unless you want them to.
We have been dealing with this situation in Spain for years. Actually in my country, if you decide to cut the electricity and water supply from the apartment it's considered coercion and you get arrested and 2 years of prison, same happens if you go into your home and change locks. But the worst thing it's in Spain trials to kick squatters out take between 5 to 8 years to happen, so you need to pay mortgage, taxes and bills during all these years. A complete nightmare!
Isn't it
This is what happens when you have governments globally trying to push agendas. Stuff like the WEF should be illegal because citizens don't get a say in the rules they make.
Leave that country
Go find someone’s house that’s better than yours and live THERE!😂
10 dollars says progressives are running that country to..
There's a guy called Fantastic Negrito who does folk soul type music. I need to pay more attention to our music❤
So what you need to do is rent the place to yourself. Then you have a lease that does not allow for subletting. Once that documentation exists, then it is impossible for the squatter to make any claim, as the lease does not allow it.
The solution for the city is to only consider a lease valid if it is registered with the city or notarized. In other words, the only way to gain tenants rights is to have an official document that is registered and notarized. Simple solution.
A woman was murdered by squatters coming back into her Manhattan apartment. 💔💔

@@evanbutt2344just type it into CZcams ya lazy bum there’s tons of videos.
@@evanbutt2344 Why don't you use something called "google". You'll find a lot of info on there if you want to know about anything.
This reminds me of philosophy class back in the day. I think it was Hobbes who basically said the only thing that you own comes down to what you can hold onto and defend.
In the old days people would advertise, like in the old Village Voice if they wanted to leave their apartment, and break their lease. If you wanted the apartment, after seeing it, you paid them “key” money, and moved in, assumed paying the rent, in the same amount and no one asked any questions. I got my apartment that way and eventually I obtained a lease but I don’t remember how or when that came about.
Florida just made the right move, so long as it works as planned. Evict squatters and NY politicians.
We have so many guns here in Florida, squatting with or without that law in place is truly taking your life into your own hands. They encourage us, the citizens and the cops to shoot to kill, breaking into anyone's anything down here is not a good idea, it will not end well. We ALL have guns.
It WILL! Have you met our sheriff's!?
@@mstyles2667 we have lots of gators too;)
Georgia has passed a law that criminalizes squatting.
Politically... what do those state have in common
I’m so proud of Desantis.,,great governor, works for his people.
Most of the time they know they're empty because there's no windows or blinds or curtains up
I live in NYC and the mayor, city council and DA's don't give a fuck about the people who live here.
If nobody knows a squatter is living in your apartment, then nobody will notice when they mysteriously "disappear".
Damn right 😂
I like how you think!
E X A C T L Y !
So 'disappearing' someone is okay to do, but squatting is not? The fuck kind of creepy ass psychopath logic is that?
Thats exactly whats going to start happening.
Tip: Burglar Alarm will prevent squatters.
Florida just passed a law that gives police the right to immediately arrest squatters and criminally charge any trespasser with a felony for any intentional damage and issues a misdemeanor charge for falsifying a lease.
Florida lawmakers have common sense, unlike in New York.
@@BKLNHobo Florida is a red state. These are Democrat run problems. Liberal policies kill cities.
The laws were terrible here in Florida until DeSantis just changed them I had a terrible experience years ago, I had no rights, squatters had all the rights could even turn in utilities in my name. There was no help from the police or the county yet I was held responsible for anything they did and they were drug addict losers. I gave up rentals after that.
Let us see how long it takes blue state lawmakers to change the law like Florida.
Florida is based. Sad that only one state has common sense
I know that here in Portugal we have the 'champion law' (dont know the fancy name for it) that give the squatter the right to the property but you need to go through alot of burocracy proving that it kept the house why they own between another pre-requisites, but the funny thing is that here its appliable after at least 6 years. 30 days is just asking for it
