Nope! according to the lawyers and court officials who came to the show to confirm what LBC 97.3 said. The lawyer even said there was one case where the squatters broke in, and the owner went to call police, and when the police arrive these squatters said that the house was already broken in by some one else, and they even say a guy running away. Then since this house was open anyway, they came in, and exercised the Squatters rights. The police simply said they could not do anything, and asked the owner to prove that it was the squatters who broke in to the house, and then they will take action, not otherwise. If they are legally using Squatter's rights, they will have to be evicted only by court, and the police walked away.

Guys, I was listening to the LBC 97.3 this evening, and i came to know about one piece of legislation in this country that is shameless and stinking. The is apparently called squatter's law/rights, whereby a person could just get into anybody's house, lets say when the residents had gone out for a little shopping for an hour or so, and can claim ownership and live there, and the owners / legal residents there cannot do anything about it, other than to go to court to evict the squatters out the premises!!!! We british always moan about people coming into this country, and we paint them all with the same brush as illegal or stealing jobs fom us, and costing our NHS a lot etc, irrespective of the fact that these lelga immigrants might be ading value to this country and go about minding their own business. Now compare that to squatter rights, and one of the advocate in that program says this is a very usual thing that happens in Britain, and day in and day out this happensm and legal owners will have to spend 10s of thousands of pounds to get the squatters out of the property, via court. I wonder why we have a law that allows British people to let do illegal tresspass into other's houses, and say sorry we can;t do anything about it, please go to court and get them out!!!! Just so you know... if you leave for work in the morning, and when you get back home, you can expect squatters in your home, and not allow you to come in, until you go to court to take them out. From what the advocate said in the program, I believe the squatters break in, and change the lock, and that is it! They can;t be touiched by police or whoever! Shameless British law!!!!! If we let this continue, no one will have any intention to work and earn, they will simply move into other's houses as they wish.

You should quote terms you are referring to, and you should probably have a semicolon in place of that second comma. Here, I'll fix that for you:

There, much better. Still, that's nothing compared to that sentence/paragraph you once had with about 16 commas in it and only one period. :rolleyes:

I'll bet JSOP would be happy to explain his solution to the squatter problem. It seems to me that the whole problem stems from being able to listen to the squatter's story in the first place.

And then get charged for murder unless you can prove they posed a threat. Outside of Texas at least, last I checked.
Several states are more correct and constitutional in there laws, Texas being one of them.

What rubbish. In the first instance, a squatter needs to live in your home for an extended period to have legal rights, an hour is a long way off the mark. Second, this law continues to exist precisely because it has no real societal impact apart from the odd case of an abandoned house being taken over after years of habitation. If people started to steal houses this way en masse, the law would be repealed in no time.

As someone who works in the Property Industry I can add that this is the law, however there is also no law forbidding a homeowner to re-enter the property and remove them. Just bring a locksmith, and once in, change the locks, they then have no squatters rights, however you may want to bring several of your larger, more muscle-bound friends with you.

This is patently not true. For one thing, there is no such thing as "squatters' rights"; you are talking of the laws of adverse possession. For adverse possession to be legal, the land has to be "abandoned" (and there is, of course, a legal definition of the term). The simplest way to remove squatters is to give them permission to stay, because the laws of adverse possession are not applied if the possessor has or has had permission to stay on the land -- so write a note, saying "I give you full and free permission to stay in the property until 3pm", and then you can get the police to kick them out at 3:01pm. I love it when people get hysterical about something that they don't understand, and then assume that no-one else in the world has ever given intelligent thought to it.
