jester3681 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 So, anyone else catch this story? Woman comes home to her house after a year away and finds someone else living there.http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/woman-forced-live-squatter-detroit-home-170128148.htmlWhile a squatter has no legal right to the property, the homeowner cannot remove a squatter by force, MyFoxDetroit reports. In this case, as in many others, Peterson must prove she is the rightful owner of the property in civil court and then seek eviction.(the squatter), who is a write-in candidate for president, said, "I'm an advocate for affordable housing. That's a part of my campaign," she said."I signed an oath pledging that I would fight for affordable homes."What the fuck? I need to go steal a house in Detroit, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester3681 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 "I came home and found a strangled-to-death woman in my kitchen." Sounds like what happened to me. Don't think it will work since the article is on Yahoo! already, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 "I came home and found a strangled-to-death woman in my kitchen." Or I came home and decided to put a garden in the backyard at 2am. Less people poking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tall_tracy Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I saw this story on the news and couldn't believe it. I think they said that the squatter had even put a lien on the house... I don't understand how any part of it is even possible... Not to mention the woman that purchased/owns the home has a child, so she's forced to live in her own home with some crazy stranger WITH her child in the home too??? I don't get it at all......

Pokey Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Detroit is such a shithole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anden Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 You would think with all the empty homes in the US this would be more of a problem. Makes me wonder what the squatters rights are in Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
