There are countless videos online of home owners going through very stressful times in trying to get people evicted from their own property. Squatters rights have arguably enabled trespassers to take up space on certain property and refuse to leave until a court orders them out and going through that process to have them officially evicted, even though they shouldn't be there in the first place, can be a very long and even costly process.
Imagine coming back to your own home to find strangers living in it and calling the cops to have them removed but the cops say there is nothing they can do.
Even worse there are some cases where the cops arrest the owner of the home for changing the locks or trying to take matters into their own hands. It's a policy that has rightly received a great deal of criticism. You wouldn't expect this to happen in a place like the U.S. where strangers might have protection from being kicked out of a home that isn't even their own property.
The problem has escalated now to the point that some areas, like FL, are looking to revoke squatters rights.
It's a policy that many are likely in favor of so will we see more regions follow in revoking squatters rights as well to try and address this issue?
How quickly might we see things resolve if those who were being squatted on were political leaders themselves? Surely they would grasp the severity of the unjust situation if it happened to them, so why then is there such a problem still for so many around the country who have to go through this and who are still going through this today? For those who are not familiar with this issue they might be shocked at how difficult it can be to get strangers out of your own home who aren't supposed to be there.
