Squatters

What's to stop him boarding his house up from the outside and let them all starve until they beg to leave?
 
I've explained the origins of squatting law before... It's archaic, though strangely relevant given the absurdities of the rental market introduced by excessive housing benefit.

It's fair enough in the case of abandoned or derelict buildings but to squat at someone's home, that's just depriving a family of the home which they have spent decades of hard working life and saving to get. I feel for the kids in cases like that, innocent children who have their home taken from them by squatters and likely have their bedrooms trashed and their toys/clothes/belongings screwed around with.
 
im sorry but that is simply stupid, how can this possibly be aloud? it makes me feel physically sick, if some dirty tramp came and squatted in my house, went near any of my stuff, i would quite simply break in and gut every single one of them alive and take pleasure in it (ok maybe not that extreme) , just think dirty TRAMPS in YOUR house touching YOUR stuff, just think if they did something like go on your computer, think about all that personal data you have or say would you like some dirty tramp in your newly done up living room? outrageous

i'd imagine it feels a lot like beeing burgled but worse cos the ****** live there without the law doing anything.

my parents house was robbed when i was a young lad probably only around 8years old and it was the last holiday we ever went on , the scumbags wrecked the house , food scattered everywhere , tomato sauce all over the walls , mouldy milk from ceral bowls all over the furniture , semen stains on my older sisters bed....

they must have stayed in our house for a few days but were stupid enough to put all our valuables in the ourdoor shed and got caught when they came back for them.

if anything like this happened to me i would make an attempt to move house, i just wouldn't be able to bear it
 
Just sneak in at night, kill them all, put a knife in one of their hands and "return home" the next morning and call the police as it looks like some squatters had a fight and killed each other!



Maybe I watch too many cop Dexter/CSI :p

To be fair it was Dexter, there would be no trace of them at all!!
 
Thing is, the squatters do themselves no favours at all, if they left when they got called out there would be less news like this going round. The laws will probably change at some point and they will have no leg to stand on.

I agree it's so stupid someone can come and comandeer your property in this way though.

Nah, if this scenario resembled TV then a loose-cannon cop with a point to prove would uncover your guilt via a microcrobe of pube moisture that he managed to glean from under the floorboards.

Please add a 'the judge imposed the maximum sentence' postscript in your own time.
 
I find it genuinely hard to believe that anyone I know, on coming to their own house and seeing that notice, would do anything that wasn't immediately fetching a load of mates and kicking the door in. And that's not a keyboard warrior statement... hobos in your house, kick them out. They're Polish hippies in skinny jeans, not the Royal Marines.

Although the law technically is on their side, how does anyone expect anything to come of it? You hoof these losers out, they call the police, and say they were in your house, you say "No you weren't", the police say "jolly good, off you trot then trampypants"

No one is going to get prosecuted for that.
 
i'd get down the roughest boxing club/gym i can find in my city pay them all a few hundred quid each to go squat in my house for a day
see if those original squatters still want to play silly buggers :D


if your house is worth a mil surely you can afford to spend a few grand getting some geezers to squat for the night and clear out the other squatters

Ah, but when the boxers decide they don't want to leave you would have to throw some lions in and then how do you get rid of the lions?
 
Who pays for any damages done to the home in that time? Or for the bills for services (water, electric, phone etc) used during that period?

I read something in another paper where a guy was forced to have the gas and electric reconnected at the property for the squatters as they complained the owner had had them disconnected. It was a couple of months ago I think.

I therefore presume the owner of the property foots the bill as it'd be in their name.
 
forcing an entry = unlawful eviction if the owner doesn't have a warrant.

I'm sorry, in what universe do you need a warrant to remove someone from your property where you never gave them the right to be there in the first place?

My thoughts exactly. I cannot fathom doing anything else. Take my house back by force. You cannot get arrested for breaking back into your own house, surely?
 
thought that if sqautters lived in a property for 10years+ (undisturbed) then they'd be entitled to the property...

Under squatters' rights, if a property has been lived in for 12 years then it effectively becomes the property of the squatters.

something along these lines...
 
what a joke, have you seen some of the websites these losers post on? examples:

HI guys does any of you know about possible ways of contacting with leerobz or others
who can help me out with lockpicking?

any help would be highly appreciated

so many threads about disabling security/lockpicking - so how the **** is that not forceful entry:o

i tell you this world is going down the ****ter.
