What You Can and Can't Do If You Have Squatters

If you get to the property and find that your home is occupied, you’ll first want to call the police. Depending on the situation, they may deem it a civil issue if there is not present evidence of trespassing. It’s still a good idea to call the cops, even without obvious evidence of trespassing, so that they can make the distinction and there will be a record of the incident. In either case, you’ll want to consult your attorney and figure out what to do next.

In regards to what you can’t do, you cannot cut the electricity or other utilities, threaten them, or attempt to handle it on your own and remove them. This can not only be dangerous but can also have serious legal implications.

Can you physically remove a squatter?

No, you cannot physically remove a squatter in California. Attempting to do so will have legal repercussions. However, property owners have the right to evict squatters from their buildings or land in California. In order to do so, you must follow a standard eviction proceeding. That includes giving proper written notice to vacate, waiting out the notice period, filing an unlawful detainer suit, obtaining a court order for the removal, and coordinating with the sheriff to physically remove the squatter(s) from your premises.

Can police remove squatters in California?

If you find a stranger on your property, call the police. They will determine if the person is a trespasser or a squatter. If the person is a trespasser, the police will consider it a criminal issue and remove them. If they are squatters, you will need to move on to civil court. In California, the police can only remove squatters if you win an unlawful detainer lawsuit and obtain a court order for the removal.

Can you turn off utilities on a squatter?

If someone has been identified as a squatter and is residing on your property, you are not allowed to purposefully turn off utilities. Depending on specific local landlord-tenant laws, this might be acceptable. However, in most cases, purposefully turning off utilities in an effort to evict someone from the property can be perceived as a self-help eviction, which is illegal.

If you are incurring significant bills from the squatter, be sure to note them in your eviction case so that you can recover some of your lost income after the court ruling.

How to Legally Remove a Squatter in California

How do I get a squatter out of my house in California?

Step 1: Call the police. The police can determine if the stranger is a trespasser or squatter. If the police determine that the stranger is a trespasser, the police will remove them. On the other hand, if the police determine the stranger is a squatter, then you will need to proceed to the next steps.

Step 2: Document the occupancy with viable evidence. Collect evidence of the squatter’s presence on your property. This can include documented communication, photographs, videos, and/or witness statements.

Step 3: Give a notice to vacate. Serve the squatter with a 3-day written notice to vacate the property.

Step 4: File an unlawful detainer suit. If the squatter does not leave after the notice period, you’ll have to file a California eviction lawsuit.

Step 5: Get a court order. If the court rules in your favor, you will be granted a court order for the squatter to leave your property.

Step 6: Coordinate with the local sheriff to lockout the squatter. Once you have the court order, you can coordinate with the sheriff to have the squatter physically removed from the property.

How long does it take to evict a squatter in CA?

Evicting a squatter requires the same process as evicting a tenant who is not paying rent. The timeline of an eviction varies but often takes 3 to 4 months minimum to complete from start to finish. According to the California Courts self-help guide, the eviction process can take 30-45 days, or longer.

How much does it cost to evict a squatter in California?

There are a few different types of fees involved in an eviction. In total, an eviction will likely cost you around $3,000-$4,000 (not including lost rent or utility bills incurred by the squatter).

Tips for Protecting Your Home

The best thing to do to prevent the possibility of squatters is to pay your own property taxes and check in on your property. Squatters won’t be able to claim possession if you are the only one paying the taxes. By stopping by your property every now and then, you’ll know sooner rather than later if people have moved into the property. If you don’t live nearby, consider hiring a property management company to manage your properties. They will likely be able to do routine checks. When your property is vacant, take precautions by securing it with locks and installing security cameras. Posting a “No Trespassing” sign can also serve as a deterrent.

Finally, if you own rental property, familiarize yourself with squatters’ rights and adverse possession laws in your state and local jurisdictions. This knowledge will equip you with information on local regulations in case you encounter such a situation.

Here are six more protective measures you can take to keep your property safe:

  1. Frequent visits: Regular inspections help spot unauthorized occupants early.
  2. Security systems: Alarms, cameras, and motion-activated lights make your property less attractive.
  3. Lock it down: Ensure all entry points are secure with sturdy locks.
  4. Maintain the property: A well-kept property looks occupied and deters squatters.
  5. Neighborhood watch: Engage with neighbors to keep an eye on your property.
  6. No trespassing signs: Clearly posted signs can help establish legal boundaries.

Why do squatters have rights?

You might be wondering why these possession claims exist in the first place. Squatter rights were initially designed to encourage the productive use of land and allow people to revamp and occupy abandoned spaces. Simply put, the government would prefer to have an occupied property over a vacant one to avoid waste. This keeps the home maintained and the property taxes (usually) paid. California has some of the most favorable laws for squatters. Other states require that the continuous possession last for 30 years!

How long does a squatter have to be in a house in California?

According to adverse possession laws in California, a squatter must openly occupy a property and pay property taxes for a consecutive and uninterrupted period of five years. If the squatter leaves for any period of time, it can disrupt their continuous occupation clause and ruin their adverse possession claim. Squatters must also care for the property, improve the property, and prevent others from squatting on the property. For the five years, the squatter must also be openly occupying the property. At no point can the squatter hide from neighbors or attempt to keep their occupancy hidden.

What are the 30 day squatter rights in California?

The “30-day squatter’s right” is commonly misinterpreted in California. It is true that after thirty days or longer of living in a property, a person becomes a month-to-month tenant; however, this does not grant them ownership rights. Rather, if someone has lived in your property for more than 30 days, it indicates that person must be removed through a formal eviction proceeding. This protection does not give the individual the right to legal ownership of your property. Rather, it is intended to prevent unlawful lockouts and guarantee due process.

Squatting vs. Trespassing

What is the difference between trespassing and squatting in California?

The difference between squatting and trespassing is that trespassing is a criminal offense, whereas squatting is a civil matter. Typically the first response when discovering people in your property is to call the police and report trespassing. However, if they claim squatter’s rights (also called adverse possession) it becomes more complicated. Squatters can still be arrested or evicted if they do not meet the qualifications for adverse possession or if they are found to be trespassing.

Papam vaa.. she really  seems to be scared of that stalker.. she wanted shelter with known ppl and not stay in a hotel.. this guy doesn’t want to be involved in this and wanted her to leave.. his wife didn’t even open the door.. may be she doesn’t have any other friends she can trust.. 

She did say that the stalker’s name is Alex Kipman.. may be the same guy who was once leading the AR/VR team at Microsoft.. he got fired for sexual misconduct.. 

Due to her stubbornness and fear, she made a bigger mess of herself
