NYC Owner Of $1.1M House Torched By Squatters: They Keep Coming Back…Have More Rights Than Landlords

A woman in New York who had inherited a house threw out the squatters living there and changed the locks. The NYPD showed up and arrested her for unlawful eviction. In New York, if you occupy a dwelling for 30 days, you're considered a tenant and enjoy more rights than the homeowner. "In New York, it's against the law to turn off the utilities, change the locks, and remove the belongings of someone who claims to be a tenant," local news reported. That's right; New York law forces you to pay the utility bills of the squatters living in your home. NYC owner of $1.1M house torched by squatters says they keep coming back and ‘have more rights’ than landlords. The NYPD has arrested two squatters who beat to death a 52-year-old woman who found them in her deceased mother's apartment. https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/03/25/squatters-arrested-in-beating-death-of-woman-n2394364
