This is awful! There was a story about a guy who got a legal lease for his deceased mother’s house, waited for the squatters to leave, moved their stuff out, and became the squatter himself.
I don't have sympathy with rich whining folks. Karma is coming around. They are wondering why this is happening to them. Well it's for stepping on the little folk while they were climbing that social ladder.
*This reminds me of the movie PACIFIC HEIGHTS. The evil of Michael Keaton's character in that film! Arrrggghhh!* *So sorry for the lady homeowner. Wishing her the best outcome and immediate recovery.*
Squatters do no have the right to park thier cars on your property you car call a repo, or any wrecker company and they will quickly come get thier car at no cost to you. The Squatters will have to find the repo company prove its thier car, pay fines for parking on private property and pay for tow. And daily cost
Getting into someone else's house is breaking and entering at the very least...but to then say that if they break in they can take ownership of it? I will never understand this.
Technically this woman didn't break and enter into the home, that's why it's a problem...she got into there initially legally and then hasn't left, which is a civil matter. Its bad, and the laws need to be changed.
I remember being a little girl in the 80s with a single mom and a dad that refused to hep. We got evicted and came home to find all our stuff ok the streets. What happened to those days? Why is this Ok now? I know it sounds harsh, but if you cant pay you can’t stay.
You can fake all of that. And just successfully pay the first rent and then dip on the rest. She used a relatives social security number and name for the background check and can use her references too. 🤷♀️
So they did charge this woman with a type of fraud for this and got her out of this home. The crime has a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. I would give her the max if I was the judge. She wants a free place to live. A jail cell will give her that.
Another video showed the real owner decided to squat in the same house and when the squatters left the house he refused to let them back in, using the squatters so called rights against them.
You know a Property Management service is well worth the fee they charge. I discovered this when a renter needed to be evicted. That was the ONE time in 30 years that we had a tenant not pay. Like I said, a GOOD Property Management person knows the necessary steps to take if a tenant refuses to pay.
Be careful choosing, because plenty of them are scumbags, too. Look at the reviews for the company (from tenants) to see how they do business. I've both owned rentals and rented houses myself, and I've dealt with some awful companies over the years.
This is what happens when people value self-preservation over integrity. Doing the right thing and standing up for yourself could lead to a life in prison and being smeared by the media. Some are willing to do it with honor, most aren't and just let this happen over and over again.

My husband and I owned 3 houses in rural Mississippi and this was our experience with almost all our renters! Pay deposit and first months rent and live there for months and don’t pay another dime! We couldn’t do a thing because of their ‘“right to privacy “ we finally sold our rental properties because of this!
The best thing to do is start locally. Get your city council to enact anti squatter laws then move on to your county government. Call your state elected officials and demand they take action. Melt down the phone lines until your state house presents a bill for passage and don't let up.
They should take it by force. Thats there house that they paying with there own money because these squatters aren't paying. Cop's can't do anything because civil matters. It's take a 3 weeks or more. By the time the squatters get evicted. The house is all the damage and the owners got pay all the damage what squatters did. In the future for those who planing to get the house. It you feel like squatters may target your house. Have camera all set up. When you planing to go on vacation or going to work and if you have someone you can trust to watch your house while your on vacation.
The law is too protective of tenants who do not pay rent. They should be removable within 2 weeks of not having paid and also any of their goods seized including phones and cars to pay the back rent due before they leave too. In most countries cutting off water is illegal as tenants not paying rent have so very many rights.
Why don’t they just instill KYC measures similar to banking institutions for these types of leasing and renting. This would prevent this from happening.
I love the idea people are taking back what has been stolen from hard working americans. And i dont carr that she has to move in with family. At least she had somewhere to go.
They need to make a national serial squatter list for lamdlords to check. Also. This has to be a stressful way to live. Always on the verge of being kicked out. Idk. Just pay your bills people.
You litteraply need to hire someone to squatt make papers hire a professional or a friend mibe them out while they are gone because the current newest squatter would have legal rights in the moment. Which is pretty screwed up.
So if I go to a bank to take out a loan and I present false information to qualify me, this is illegal, but the cops have to think about it being against the law if someone does it to rent a home? I can think of a lot of situations where the law would barge right in and take over the facility and throw the squatter out.
You want to give home owners their rights back, make the political leaders of the city, county and state change the laws. If they start passing the buck vote them out.
HOW can stealing a house NOT be a criminal issue??? This has to stop.
If I could like this 1,000 times I would!!!
It's only a criminal issue when it's a very expensive house.
Our system clearly is trash when they keep letting this woman go because she pays bond like thats all they want money money and thats it
Legally speaking, they are not stealing the house.
@@golden-63no they do it in million dollar mansions too !!!!!
Colorado was supposed to keep her in jail for six years. If they had done so, she wouldn't be in Texas now, getting away with this again.
Still, TX should do something about this
Texas should have put her in jail before she left for Colorado.
I use a property management company. They don’t get in until the check clears.
She should have gone to jail for check fraud
ZILLOW, let it happen. Zillow DID NOT DO A VERY GOOD BACK GROUND CHECK!
might be grounds for a LAW SUIT.
There needs to be laws that cover the owners of homes from squatters. Also, harder laws and consequences for squatters.
This is awful! There was a story about a guy who got a legal lease for his deceased mother’s house, waited for the squatters to leave, moved their stuff out, and became the squatter himself.
Seen it
She is a different type of squatter. She actually fills out an application even though it's filled with lies.
so it's only fraud. I guess that's not a crime anymore.
I don't have sympathy with rich whining folks.
Karma is coming around.
They are wondering why this is happening to them.
Well it's for stepping on the little folk while they were climbing that social ladder.
Why aren't they getting arrested for writing worthless checks?
I just wanna say that original interview where she confronts the squatter is LEGENDARY.
Bad checks & a criminal record for this in Colorado - WTF Texas????
Also of all the states!!!! I thought Texas had some grit, sounding just like California.
Texas is exactly like California. They just like shitting on California so they can feel high and mighty, but deep down they're the same.
9 outta 10 of us ain't calling 911 🤠
Why am I being notified of this?

Sue Zillow.
How can they get away with writing so many bad checks
I remember being a little girl in the 80s with a single mom and a dad that refused to hep. We got evicted and came home to find all our stuff ok the streets. What happened to those days? Why is this Ok now? I know it sounds harsh, but if you cant pay you can’t stay.
most go to jail for a hot check.
What do you mean by this?
@@Yaneth0000 She is knowingly writing a check from a bank account that has insufficient funds.
How come people aren't double checking references, running background checks, and waiting for the check to clear BEFORE letting them move in.
You can fake all of that. And just successfully pay the first rent and then dip on the rest. She used a relatives social security number and name for the background check and can use her references too. 🤷♀️
And get manager’s checks
Greed and I love how the greed bites them
Oh its just karma.
Who did they screw to get the house or the money to get the house.
So they did charge this woman with a type of fraud for this and got her out of this home. The crime has a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. I would give her the max if I was the judge. She wants a free place to live. A jail cell will give her that.
Another video showed the real owner decided to squat in the same house and when the squatters left the house he refused to let them back in, using the squatters so called rights against them.
I'm surprised the squatter let him squat with them.
I remember when she got arrested the first time.
There are individuals on the Dark web who will immediately and competently eject this woman from the premises!
Hire someone to be a squatter and once inside the house with lease papers have the hired person throw out the squatters property.
Squatting is civil court problems

Don't mess with Texas, huh? It's don't mess with Colorado.
LOL I thought this was Texas. Doesn't everyone have guns and are willing to use them?
I know Right😂
Definitely seems like a great time to exercise their 2nd amendment right
If they want to go to prison. Squatters rights exist. You can’t legally take matters into your own hands.
This is what happens when people value self-preservation over integrity. Doing the right thing and standing up for yourself could lead to a life in prison and being smeared by the media. Some are willing to do it with honor, most aren't and just let this happen over and over again.
I rented once, will never do that again.
There are tons of bikers looking for part time work in the metroplex. This is not a difficult problem to solve.
You give one of those good old boys a lease for 60 days... biker eviction service
This is going viral nationally so hopefully Texas does the right thing!
They will eventually come face to face wity the wrong one and they will regret it forever
People like these are the reason that others are not able to rent a home. Plus the fact that people can just take over a property is even worse.
Seems like a really simple solution in Texas. Lots of open areas....cold take decades.

4:44 That sounds like frud to me, which is definitely illegal.

The story should actually be how rare is it that the cops do their job with somebody stealing a house
The Banks holding the MTGs should not be able to Foreclose!
Why dont. the "owners" shut off all the utilties?
That’s illegal. But there’s so many loopholes to kick squatters out. I don’t know why more people don’t use them.
@@ruthie_rosario What loopholes could they use?
People should start a business staying in homes until they are sold.
The best thing to do is start locally. Get your city council to enact anti squatter laws then move on to your county government. Call your state elected officials and demand they take action. Melt down the phone lines until your state house presents a bill for passage and don't let up.
You can’t steal a car, but you can steal a whole flipping house. wtf!
If it was my house…🤬🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I hope the owners didn’t lose their home!
Time to up the law 2nd conviction 3 years in prison and 2x restitution.
They should take it by force. Thats there house that they paying with there own money because these squatters aren't paying. Cop's can't do anything because civil matters. It's take a 3 weeks or more. By the time the squatters get evicted. The house is all the damage and the owners got pay all the damage what squatters did.

Zillow is a common element in these stories
I wonder if their truck is paid for or is it up for repossession.
... "when we visited 'Heather's house' ..... LOLOLOLOLOL 😂 😅
Why isn't this criminal in JAIL?????? Our system is F'ed up!!!!
Who still pays with checks??
The cojones on this one…
Thieves ....shes a thief ...
Working on their theory that it is a civil matter then why not write someone you know really well a lease move them in get her out.
The law is too protective of tenants who do not pay rent. They should be removable within 2 weeks of not having paid and also any of their goods seized including phones and cars to pay the back rent due before they leave too. In most countries cutting off water is illegal as tenants not paying rent have so very many rights.
Why is Abbott allowing this!!!!!
*How Evil. The worst case insult to injury scenario for especially otherwise hardworking, honest, and upstanding victims.*
Go to your county judge, and he or she will be removed
Why don’t they just instill KYC measures similar to banking institutions for these types of leasing and renting. This would prevent this from happening.
This is unreal?😯😯😯
In Texas, just put a three day notice on the door.
I love the idea people are taking back what has been stolen from hard working americans.
And i dont carr that she has to move in with family.
At least she had somewhere to go.
sometimes you need an assault charge in front of a jury to send a messsage
Exactly 💯%
The US needs to pass a law like Florida. Did they could be squatting prison for a long time this is ridiculous what a bunch of trash .
They need to make a national serial squatter list for lamdlords to check. Also. This has to be a stressful way to live. Always on the verge of being kicked out. Idk. Just pay your bills people.
keep squattin my people! we can do it!
3:41 No, it's a crimanal issue.
Awesome I'm with your awesome channel, awesome channel.
there is a big hole in the legislation!
6k to move into a rental.
All of this is "he said she said" until it's sorted out in court.
Pretty sure the 1st month's bounced rent check followed by months of no rent paid is more than "he said she said" smh
You litteraply need to hire someone to squatt make papers hire a professional or a friend mibe them out while they are gone because the current newest squatter would have legal rights in the moment. Which is pretty screwed up.
Fake checks and the cops didn’t arrest her and Zillow 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂gen x buy more then you can afford.
How do squatters get away with this?

😂😂😂😂 Why do reporters think it's ok to go up to peoples property and knck on their doors?
Because it is totally legal.
So you rented to someone you didn't vett???????😮😮😮😮😮😮
So she doing it again
Try that in my house!!!!!!!
Our country is in the toilet. Can anyone fish it out?
As soon as you fall in love with her, she will leave
Somebody should rent her a house that's 24 sq.ft. x 6 ft. deep.
Should always do a OSBI
You want to give home owners their rights back, make the political leaders of the city, county and state change the laws. If they start passing the buck vote them out.
Never use Zillow
Texas: [bans books]
Texas: [doesn’t pass laws against squatting]
Just a bunch of empty words from Zillow.
😮😮😮
Wth are abbott and cruz doing???
FBI
love that theres no white people on any texas news channels! so diverse!
This is the same state that swears their republican leaders and gun waving god fearing people are the best in the whole country 😂…
If a certain ex president returns to the WH, you will have a serial squatter there too:-)
Damn!!!😂😂
Why did the home owners not ask for the last two places they lived and speak to them! That is so sick that people would use people like that.
And this my friends is how America was found!
Go live in woods
lol
“I’m gonna lose my house”😂😂😂
Should have just been a resident owner instead of trying to be a land leech.
😅😅😅😅
The owner is so stupid to have rented this house to her before her payment cleared, she deserves everything she gets
First payment could clear. Second payment could bounce.
Aw, crap. Here we go again.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
