#squatting #laws #nyc
Finally! After they arrested a homeowner and allowed a criminal to remain in her home. Finally the law makers remembered they are to protect law abiding citizens and not criminals.
Yeah Israeli people are squatting in Palestinian land, and houses. Where they have no legal rights to, but immediately make up new laws in their own supreme court to justify the squatting as legal! Israeli settlements? I think you mean Israeli squatters standing up to oppressive Palestinian landlords! TBH if Israelis just on average had darker skin/were less Westernized than Palestinians they'd probably unironically argue this way

Where was your outrage when it was discovered that Israel is racially discriminating against Ethiopians?
I know it’s so wrong

It's about time the governor does something good to help the NY citizens.
Still a horrible governor though but ny needed this
NY still needs a lot of help. 43 of your State Assemblymen voted AGAINST this basic change that doesn't even fully address the issue.
Much tougher anti-squatting legislation passed unanimously in Florida.
Election year
its about time the governor does something good to help the ny citizens
Finally doing something that actually helps Americans
The fact that 43 politicians in the Assembly voted against this common sense law shows how big of a problem we still have in this country.
Sometimes they disagree because politicians try to sneak a provision but not all always
All of America should have such a law. Squatters are lawbreakers. They illegally enter someone's home, tamper with that home and sit around the house like big shots because they know they can.
Man thank GOD!!! I was a victim of a long term squatter in my million dollar home in NYC for 5 months! I'm so happy that this will no longer happen to anyone else.. God is so good 🙏🏻💯
Did you vote democrat? Are you a liberal?
@@zackthebongripper7274🙄 FFS STFU. Squatters rights begin at the federal level with the Homestead Act of 1862. Educate yourself. Stop blaming a political affiliation or party for criminals taking advantage of loopholes in the law. The criminals squatting are at the root. Slumlords as well. Thank them for exploitation leading to the need for tenants protections that no one foresaw would be abused by future criminals.
Obnoxious, politically driven brainwashed/braindead comment. Not even creative. Every trumphumper yells this you voted for libs/dems crap when they’re have no valid informed educated comments.
They aren’t squatters.. they are burglars and you know what a homeowner can do to a burglar… I’ll leave it at that.
$237 Billion. The joke's on us.
Quarter trillion for what
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was just part of many changes included in that money. Go back and actually listen.
The smallest inch in the right direction after moving a hundred miles in the wrong direction with the laws of this goddamn state
It's hard to believe this is real. As a NYer I'll I've known is nonsensical incompetence from our lawmakers. A common sense law in NY feels like the Twilight zone to me.
It's about time that guy who got the home owner arrested now faces charges he should've just left, but Instead knew to abuse the system of see you in court

Why not just change the definition of the word squatter to mean burglar or like Florida did 🎯 target 🎯
That is essentially what the new law did. Squatters will be charged with several crimes, including theft!
Who vote NO??? that the real question! 😅
It will never make sense how people can systematically commit crimes and courts support criminality not justice!
Now do something about "professional tenants" that don't pay rent and game the system. Not much difference if they'll just move in as "tenants" and don't pay.
Maybe the lease can state you are no longer a tenant if you break any term of the lease? I'm not a lawyer but there may be some way to leverage this law in leases to protect landlords from what you described.
@@joemama5195 the flames would freeze over before that happens in NY.
Once a tenant falls into the legal category, their tenancy terminates. That's what a UD is for.
Those are squatters too. Do your homework, try reading, researching before posting comments that reveal to all how little you know.
The thugs in blue that arrested that women for changing the locks on a squatter should be fired.
Do you mean to tell me "finders keepers, losers weepers" isn't a real law any more? Sounds raysis.
Still is just don’t say you broke in.
What about the 30 day law ?
Get rid of that shit too!
next they'll change the definition of "landlord" to "loving and generous, kind benevolent provider".
Is about time
He did answer the question how did they get in there in the first place” 🤦🏾♀️
If this didn't go viral on tiktok ...................
The government changed the law because she went vital. I wonder what our government was doing in the last 100+ years.
30 years of pain. Finally got a law in place. Watch it has a bunch of loop holes
Isn’t it interesting but I don’t seem to recall any organized groups or movements going before the NY state senate and congress to fight for change. Why did politicians have to learn from the news instead of the citizens experiencing this crime? Why celebrate the American revolution when we no longer fight for change? Stop whining and fight for change!
And people got killed
Do what if a squatters presents a fake lease..
Why hasn't anyone taken those squatters to court and question the issue of the law? After all, laws get passed by legislation, but it is the courts that look through the laws and interpret them to see if they match the State's constitution laws and Federal Laws. It is surprising that no one has not challenged this constitutionally at the federal level to get the laws removed from these states. Everyone is so focused on going to court for the housing issues, but the system is not working in that regard. The laws have to be challenged in a different way. The constitutional issues need to be addressed about eminent domain, the castle doctrine, and the government enforcing illegals in the apartments as a violation of the third amendment which is "No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."

Why not. They change the definition of crime also.
Good!
So much for due process.....
It absolutely boggles my mind how the narrative on this is so one sided.
This is going to help a few edge cases of actual squatting, and usher in a new era of landlords absolutely screwing tenants.
About time.
I hope this is done carefully and not hastily. Care needs to be taken to ensure landlords do not find a new vector to abuse valid tenants. These laws are a mess because they were badly written decades or more ago, and did not consider all of the valid conditions, and are written in legal language, not common language. Legal language is intentionally vague so they can argue over what "is means" and make money off civilians.
What a joke. This was all about money, to be made for the State
What if you don't have a lease and are paying month to month? Can the Landlord decide that you are now a "squatter" and can be forcibly removed? My guess is not if you can show payment, no. But, what if they increase the rent and you are still paying prior rent amount and looking for a new place? Can the landlord decide to summarily render the tenant homeless? It seems like there are a lot of pitfalls.
I think the problems you have presented are solvable. A landlord and tenant can do a one month lease, and a tenant should always be able to prove the rent was paid. As such, it is a bad idea to pay rent in cash. I do not have all the specifics on the law and suspect that it does not go far enough, but I do not think this law is set up to just allow landlords to screw tenants over.
About time
Election year
Okay good.
Do this counts for illegal immigrants as well. I’m so tired of them staying here illegally.
Mr Newsome
How California?
Lawmakers must rescue California
Hell yeah, imagine all the illegal migrants and the squatters taking over ordinary citizens him because the law allows them to do so, and no one is doing anything
Jungle law has been passed😅😅😅😅😅😅
That's woman do the right thing to save poor landlord being bullied by qutter as bad guy 💘😁😄😄😁😄😁😄😁😄😁
Doing the bare minimum for Americans will definitely get you reelected. Biden 2024 🇺🇸

the fact this could've always been done by her and she didnt do it until now says a lot
The governor wears dentures. 🐴🦷
And pantyhose too.
Criminalizing a civil matter what could go wrong
LOL - no sweetie.
Criminalizing an action used by CRIMINALS to game the system and extort hard working people.
if you actually READ the law, you would know that people this only affects criminals who squat in a home without valid permission from the landowner.
It's a small change in the right direction that took YEARS to implement and only because stories like this are going viral.
I'm surprised nys passed a sensible law
