#Outsquatting the Squatters

...Shelton simply staked out his mother’s home and waited for the grifters to leave: Then he proceeded to enter the premises to install security cameras, change the locks, and record the squatters’ personal property piled high in every room. The grifters appeared ready for a long and cozy stay, placing their expectations on the law-abiding landlord getting lost in the nightmare of drawn-out legal filings and costly judicial fees....

... Whereas a landlord cannot enter his or her own premises, Shelton, armed with a new lease, can walk in on the squatters proclaiming his status as the new occupant and becoming the squatters’ worst nightmare. That is exactly what he’s doing for landlords who have heard of the handyman and have engaged his services for days or weeks at the fixed rate of $5,000.00

Shelton is not above eating the squatters’ food, occupying their favorite spot for television watching, or blasting loud music. Can he do that? Apparently, he’s doing it routinely and he has yet to get arrested. After all, he’s a tenant: And just like squatters, he, too, has rights. The advice Shelton gives landlords may not match the instructions offered by high-priced law firms (no other kind), but his tactics have proven effective for a fraction of the cost.

I admire the creativity!
