Don’t have any insight but damn can you imagine just chilling in a house knowing you are pulling something over on someone and being ok with it. Especially someone you met personally.

Do they have friends over? What do they tell them? Do they answer the door or your calls? They just go about their life as normal? Crazy. I’d have so much anxiety it wouldn’t even be worth the free rent.

Unfortunately there are people out there who think the world owes them something and are more than willing to do this and have no remorse.

I live in Harford County and the property next to me was occupied by a squatter for months. She knew what she was doing and did not care because she was a single mother, had 2 young children and was trying to get her own business off the ground…so in her mind she deserved to live in a place for free until things “got better” 🙄🤦‍♂️

It was the first time I ever encountered a situation like that. She’s been gone for months now and it still boggles my mind lol

She definitely knows what she's doing.

She pays rent, but whenever she feels like it.

Damn, can my wife and two dogs move in with you? I'd love to live somewhere for free.

Ah shit ya got me! Lol. We're in the same camp respectfully though. Landlords shouldn't exist imo but I don't think it's terribly sustainable to go as far to say that everyone should have free housing.

I agree but unfortunately that’s not the world we’re living in. If there was a way to make it happen where all of us did have a house for free, I’d be all about it. But it’s not reality.

She's definitely pulling one on me for sure. She knows I'm not comfortable with confrontation.

Some people are so shitty! Sorry you are dealing with this. I’ve only ever owned the property I’m currently living in so not sure how to go about this but I hope you can get her out soon.
