- There's been an explosion of squatting cases in the U.S. Nationally prominent restaurateur Adam Fleischman was recently accused of squatting at a Hollywood Hills home. Flash Shelton is the self-proclaimed “squatter hunter.” He says he's on a mission to reclaim properties after alleged squatters move in. The owner reached out to one person she hoped could help. Fleischman denies being a squatter, claiming he had a right to live there, but moved out just a week later.
Squatters having rights is one of the biggest pos ever
True
But it’s good if the home has been empty for 10 years
it's a case of lawmakers stupidity. they create a law to take care of 1 thing but it ends up being used in an outrageous but legal way.
@staringcorgi6475
1. That's none of your business.
@@staringcorgi6475that’s a dangerous logic. It’s called socialism.
I really don’t get the whole squatter rights thing. Aren’t the homes private property? If that’s the case isn’t that trespassing and theft.
they need to fix the law to make it more reasonable but id guess its in place because its bad to have property that's just stagnant and not being used for anything and its incentive to use and maintain land.
And vandalism.
If a property is not lived in after a certain amount squatters can possibly claim rights of abandoned property because of eminent domain. Each state law is different. It's intention is to make sure the property is used to house people. Essentially stripping rich people from taking advantage of property for portfolio assets. I read that somewhere that's how the pilgrims were able to justify taking native American land.
@@user-er3ri6sc3jso that age old law, came back to bite us all huh. Smh.
@@Frosty89 What goes around comes around. That's what made this country great. Taking over somebody's property.
The fact you need a "squatter expert" to get rid of these people is insane... Why is there even laws protecting people that do this?
Democrats

@dimensionzone8048 while agreeing with this sentiment, 100% of every meaningful political postion in California is only held by one of these
"You will own nothing and be happy". WEF
When squatters take over a property, it becomes a landlord v tenant case, the best way to overcome that is to do what Flash (Squatter Hunter) does, you have the owner of the home lease you the building and you can then have the squatters evicted without taking them to court
Lessee rights > Squatter rights > Landlord rights
For the Squatter Hunter, I wish he chose to call himself Squatter Swatter instead. Has a nicer ring to it.
Top comment 💀 I really hope they see this and he changes it to this 😂
It does have a nice ring to it.
what tf is a swatter ? that's not a word....
He can still call himself that
@@RegulareoldNorseBoy let me google that for you:
Definitions of swatter. an implement with a flat part (of mesh or plastic) and a long handle; used to kill insects. synonyms: flyswat, flyswatter. type of: implement. instrumentation (a piece of equipment or tool) used to effect an end.
Would anyone even realize if some squatters go missing? Just clean the house.
Get yourself an alibi, and don't forget your skimask...
@@rustyshackleford81 It's not like you have to go out and be sneaky, it's literally inside your own house
@@UndeadFleshgodYou can't kill someone for just being in your home. You must feel your life's in danger
@@UndeadFleshgod suppose you don't wanna dispose of a body, just chase them around with a branding iron or cattle prod?
@@MaxMax-ly6luFound the squatter!
The Squatter Hunter needs his own show!
The guy needs a book and a how-to video to evict trespassers.
nah it would give evidence that there have been a unlawful eviction
Yes
He will probaly get 1 tbh he already has cameras.
Basically, the owner writes out a lease agreement to this guy. The guy moves in and places cameras everywhere. Then the pressure is on.
When u break in to a house u get arrested but if u break in n stay u don't??!!! Lol so crazy
People have to be living there actively for it to be a burglary. You can only “squat” a vacant property.
@@Jonathon10But what about those actively living in their homes and still dealing with squatters?
@@ajstudios9210I ain't no lawyer but with the government we have today, I bet you they would still make you live with them for a tiny bit before they "CAN kick them out."
@@Jonathon10 That's not true, some people lived in their homes with the squatters because they had no place to go. I think it's Detroit, if a squatter does any work on the house the squatter has rights to stay. Some people went on vacation and came back to someone living in their home with the locks changed 😳 Scary thought
Squating rights was created because without laws to protect a renter, a landlord can do anything to their tendant.
This is only possible because of the laws!! Change the laws to protect the owner.
I wouldn’t do that if I were you. That’s how you get kicked out of your own home real quick
@@bewareofsasquatch
That makes no sense 😕 Breaking into a home IS against the law , breaking into a home and then claiming its yours IS against the law ...shouldn't really be a confusing concept . I paid for my home and I'm the legal owner and tenant of MY home and Noone has the right to trespass on private property....the fact you need this explained to you is astounding .
Why do they intentionally destroy every home?!
Because they know it’s not theirs and they don’t care, also, they’re bitter that others own property and seek to be an a-hole
There is a bunch of reasons. Some cause they’re getting kicked out cause they’re trespassing or it’s a legit renter who’s getting kicked out for some reason and they get their anger out or bored.
The haves and have nots.
Well they don’t care. They’re not held accountable to any damages to the property, or theft of stuff on the property.
Since they can falsify the lease, the homeowner can’t sue they for damages. Just the eviction.
Hence why the law needed to be changed or made.
He should get the homeowner to sign a lease with proof of ownership and just change the locks and when the squatters return just have THEM trespassed.
Deadpool
Yes. That's basically what he does. The owners can't do it, but they can sign a lease to someone else - and they can.
@@hollieoooand I can get some of my hood homies to sign the lease together. I bet he leaves in 10 minutes.
@@jml9550😂
@@hollieooo as long as the home owner agrees to supply all the 40s and a grill, we good. You know what I am saying. :)
We don't have this issue in Arizona . No squatters rights.
also 2nd amendment....
Unbelievable how squatters have more rights than the actual homeowner.
If I came home and someone was squatting in my home, I’m defending my home and my family.
you're so badass and cool!
Yeah I'm sure you would, Jonathan! Such a sigma masculine thing to say in yt comments!
My parents have a ... let's say veterinarian diagnosed antisocial guard dog (a literal menace to society) and we keep him on a leach at all times. So if I came home and someone was squatting in my home I'm telling the police the leach flew out of my hand.
. I don't need the dog I have a Marine Veteran
My left ear loved this video
lol right? I hate it when they do this with the sound.
@@ShuiYueSketchbookyou mean “lol left” 😂
Same
lmao I only had my right airpod in
@@chrismargolis😂😂
Couldn't owners just hire Pinkertons or something to forcibly remove squatters
Renters have rights. Where I am, if you try to remove someone from your home, even if they're squatting, you will automatically owe them 12 months rent, paid full.
They just claim to be renters and then the cops say “it’s a civil issue.”
That's not how it works, it won't be that easy, just like the Nanny who was supposed to take care of the children but instead she went own the room, and told everyone that she quit instead of getting fired
😂😂😂😂😂
owner could rent the home out to his/her friend and the friend moved in with more friend.
How tf do owners have no right over their property but random people have? This is insane 😂😂😂😂
Democrats.
Finally, someone is helping the innocent homeowners 😊
I’m 30 years old, and to this day I haven’t figured out how this is even a thing.
I'm 65 and I don't get it either.
People in your castle used to be called justifiable homicide.
Not paying rent is "legal"
Not paying mortgage/Property tax is "illegal"
Thanks, Flash Shelton. You’re really saving the day from squatters at homes.
We need him to go to the white house and do is work
Give this man his own show 🤩
I wanna watch too lol
We live in a dystopian society where criminals and slackers have all the rights, and privileges. You dont even own your home anymore.
If that's my house,they have 2 options leave peacefully or in an ambulance,no police!!
Yeah and then while you serve your prison sentence they can live there freely
Sadly the law won’t see it that way despite this being a good option if the squatter refuse to leave.
@@123RADIOactive I will gladly take any charges the pos might try and press on me, If their squatting in a house I doubt they would have trial money for a lawyer.
@@Jordan-mp6upThey’re trespassing and allegedly had a weapon on them I would call it self defence but hey
I don’t understand how American law takes away rights from the owners who purchased the home and have documentation to verify it and give it to people who illegally occupy the property.
Thank the democrats. I don't care what anyone says, it is the democrats.
I applaud the Atlanta PD for evicitng. You deserve a salute.
They're not just moving from one place to another They're destroying everything and leaving property damages to the owners and think im gonna get-away with this so that tge owners pay for all the damages
If I pay taxes on my home,it's mine!
The legislation needs to revise these laws to stop supporting the squatters more than the homeowners. Homeowners shouldn’t have to file for an eviction that can take 2 years to do on people who just move their stuff in, change the locks, and make the homeowners pay for everything. They don’t have the papers to the home, the homeowners do so support them instead of the criminals.
This is why it’s important to not rent to poor people with bad credit
What we see on the news is the big picture. It’s just a few cases. Some these “squatters” legitimately live there but landlord wants to kick them out for what ever reason. It protects a lot of innocent people more than it does trespassers.
It's stories like this that should make the entire neighborhood gather together, no need for cameras, and approach the squatter in a convincing manner to move on
When squatters cause damage like this
Everything they own should be sold and if there's still money owed, they do hard labor in prison until it's paid off
Should be treated just like a break-in bring back stand your ground protect your home people
"14 month legal battle", meaning the local county courts, judges and attorneys needed to "wet their beaks" with the money of the new home owners.
My uncle once cought squatters in his house . He calmly told them to leave . They refused . He then calmly left the house . And when he came back , he came with his whole gang . (He was in a gang that did drug related things) . Anyway . Those squatters left the house so battered they could barely breathe normally .
God bless that man
Why is it illegal to steal a car but okay to steal a house??🤔
Just give it time
So he is welcomed in and just becomes a pest? Hunter? Yeah... I dont want you ending up in a bag because not everyone is a human being out here. Please don't do this full-time without a few more folks or at least an easy way to get backup and for someone to track you.
the announcer is only on the left side of my headphones...i was so confused lol
Audio is messed up in this video. The audio is only coming from the left side.
😂 he's great get them out of people's homes. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It’s ridiculous that any homeowner has to “get back their property”
Does he install giant sticky traps and pitfall traps to immobilize these house pests?
I will vote for anyone who gets a bill passed that removes human rights from squatters
There's one in NYC where the owner Adele Andoloro was the one arrested instead of the squatters. Please help her!
There needs to be changes in the law to prevent this.
Sad to see even a person who had everything like owning and running restaurants turned into a squatter.
Adam Fleischman.
I plan to Squat at this Beautiful house in New Orleans, this is very useful information Thanks❤
The squatter hunter is providing great community service.
THIS IS GREAT!!!! I STILL do NOT understand HOW N THE BEEP can squatters have ANY RIGHTS WHATSOEVER!!!
That lady in NYC that just got arrested for trying to kick out squatters could use his help.
Home owners in places with "30-day squatter rights" laws, please remember this when you go to vote. Don't vote for politicians or political parties who make laws that give your properties away to others for free. It hurts you, it hurts your communities and it hurts the rule of law.
Thanks, my left ear enjoyed that
Doing the Lord’s work.
My left ear appreciates this
I need this guy!!! HELP!!
This crime is exploding because they know they (the squatters) can get away with it
Squatter Rights Advocates would protest
About time!!! Should be the LAW EVERYWHERE!
Squatter hunter should be a reality show and educating homeowners what to do and how to use loopholes to get back their proerty
Freaking insane that this is a thing.
Wonder if the cost of housing could be a factor.
Yes, so let them come stay with you.
Kinda, but stealing property and putting someone’s finances in danger is not the answer
@@specialagentorange4329 if the house is vacant for over a year , is fit hurting anyones finances
My left ear really enjoyed this video
He does need his own show
He is great 👍
IGNORE THE LAW! The can’t and WON’T help you.
I suffered 8 months with a squatter. Paid 3k to a lawyer to evict. Took MONTHS! Then the state of Az FORCED me to let her back in to get her stuff. YEP! She moved right back in. So I sold it to an investor and took a 70k loss. Squatter still there after closing.
I heard from a neighbor, that the squatter was ‘removed’ by the new owner with cuffs and a bag over her head. Her stuff was trashed out in the middle of the night. This squatter has never been seen or heard from again. And a new tenant moved in the very next day.
People ! SQUATTERS HAVE NO RIGHTS! Just because a State passes an UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW, does NOT mean you have to acknowledge that law. WE must hold government accountable and IGNORE THEM AND QUIETLY TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROBLEM WITHOUT THEM. This is the world we live in now. If we continue to allow our CORRUPT GOVERNMENT to impose UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAWS, we don’t have a COUNTRY.
allowing this ...When she came back to get her stuff....lol you should of put her stuff on porch in protective bags and changed your locks and ALWAYS have a fake lease with your name on it to show police...Gotta be smarter than the squatter , the police would of enforced YOUR * squatters right * over your private property rights ...
Squatter laws need be changed
Nobody's quoting any code sections
As I was watching this story on my tv, I was thinking about this CZcams video where a woman who was sleeping on this family’s couch in their house, was saying that she was copping the house, and as I was watching it, I was thinking she is a squatter!
This doesn't make sense at all
So sad, but true
Here in North Carolina if you walk into a home whether it's vacant or not it is a felony
give thief a right? this country is doomed! DOOMED!
Have you ever heard of the 2A, intruders on your property?
The problem aren’t the squatters the problem is America has weak laws , you don’t see this issue in the rest of the world 🤷🏻♂️
Never close on a house until previous owner has completely vacated and never give previous owner a post occupancy agreement.
Just change the lock when the squatter is not at home, and put their stuff in front of the door
Haven’t you heard about the case in New York? They arrested the owner for trying that.
@@timmyers1006 Important that they should not be at home, so no police involved
You know what would solve this? Making house no longer a commodity, Letting the government build permanent housing for homeless, just a thought…
You must be one of those Socialist who wants everyone to own nothing and be happy.
My right ear loved this video
This would make a great reality show! Get on it!
My left ear loves this vid
It's a law from centuries ago and it pertained to properties that weren't occupied after the owner died in a war or something. Empty properties were cropping up everywhere, hence why people were given the OK to move into unoccupied places. No longer relevant. Now it's just a burden to society.
What about breaking and entering??
Pay the hunter well then charge the state for their removal sue the damn state law makers who only protect the criminals. And why do we allow the bad policy makers to remain in that position to do more harm. We put them in power but nobody seems to want to remove them from that power seat. Why?
My left ear enjoyed this video
Exactly lmao. I thought my earphone was not working 😂
he is a legend
Squatters rights? Tell it to my 1911...
Squatters in this country have NEVER impressed me. A lot of us have more than 1 job in this country just to pay rent and mortgage while these squatters take over for free. Absolutely pathetic.
Who exactly is * impressed * with squatters ? 🙄
@@christinehawkins1382 I’m not impressed by them, never have been. That’s why I said it’s absolutely pathetic for them to take over for free.

Man that dude needs a tv show
..and just like that, a new industry is born; government gets off Scott-free.
That’s America! Where hard work hardly pays off but being a bum is a lucrative business with free housing. Smh
The Squatter swatter has a CZcams of him kicking a squatter out of his mom's house.Glad to see he's helping other people.
Wow…
Lets say someone squatted in the home of politician that is on vacation. The news would conveniently change it to intruder/burglar.
A podcast with the squatter hunter on the Iced Coffee Hour just dropped. Rly interesting to listen to.
New spatial audio technology!
I feel like I’ve seen that first couples video like almost 4 years ago 😢
Squatter rocking fake Gucci bag 😂
I hope the cops will be call
Fix the audio guys please especially people with ear phones
If people want a squatter out of their home.. they can pay me a flat fee to do a “home invasion” 😂
They have been fighting for so long.
audio only comes out of the left. use mono sound guys
