The fact that squatters can just take over your home, with no law enforcement help, is beyond logical comprehension. Our country is insane.

[robedmund]

I'll bet these laws wouldn't apply if the squatters moved in and took over politician's houses.

[Cybernatural]

Wait... Squatters have rights? That's the problem right there. They should be treated as home invaders.

[VintageDynamo]

The fact that these thieves have "rights" is just absolutely insane.

[freedomforever]

Private property rights should trump any and all squatters "rights"! There should be no such thing as squatters "rights"!

[rpmnight]

It still boggles my mind that someone can illegally enter someone’s property, claim they live there, and the legal owner can’t do anything about it.

Give this man a medal. Squatter laws are ridiculous and idiotic.

[aaroncoulter]

The police said they couldn’t do anything? I bet if the house belonged to a fellow cop, they’d empty it out in an hour.

[Thepriest]

It is unbelievable that squatters have any rights at all.

[Charlie-dowv]

We shouldn't need laws to protect property and homeowners' rights. If someone's squatting, the owner should be able to just Kick them out, have 'em arrested!

[MartinisnOlives]

I’ve never been able to wrap my head around how squatters have more rights than the homeowners.

[Diggerdognd]

It's mind boggling that there are actual laws protecting people that broke into your house.

[ep]

They will kick you out for failing to pay the mortgage or property taxes but they won't evict the people that are causing you to not be able to pay those same things

[BK-qpzp]

I am so freaking disgusted with our lawmakers.

[joecole]

Just absolutely insane what squatters are permitted to do by Law.

[Saucingalot]

HEY FOX NEWS KEEP THIS BRIT ON THE SHOW. He has great interviewing/people skills. Incredible how this conversation flowed

[chrismcgill]

The fact that Owners and renters don’t have the rights that squatters do is insane

[davids]

Squatters are breaking in, trespassing, etc. Why can’t the law remove them? No different than a burglar.

[lanedexter]

Years ago here, a guy couldn’t get rid of renters who were not paying or moving. He showed up with a truck and tools, said “I’m working on the house, ” tore the bathroom off, then left. They moved. THEN he built his renovated bathroom.

I am a California attorney who specializes in real estate law. After carefully listening to Flash's video, I agree that his approach is legally valid. ⚖️
