A homeowner is arrested trying to get rid of squatters in her home. All states have laws on squatters and guests in your home which is why I had advised people to not let migrants into your home like some were asking of people. You will have to evict them to get them out after a certain amount of days or if they get mail, depending on the state. NY is 30 days. This woman needs to file a formal eviction notice "10-day notice to quit". After 10 days she must file a complaint for eviction called a" Petition for Special Proceedings" The court will then issue a summons (or Notice of Petition) demanding the squatter’s presence in court, to be served by the sheriff or any other non-party of age. Both parties must show up to court Once they confirm legal ownership, the court will issue a Warrant for Possession giving the squatter 14 days to move out. If the squatter does not vacate the property within those 14 days, a sheriff can forcibly remove them, ***Police officers cannot remove squatters—you must call the sheriff, who has the appropriate jurisdiction to remove the squatter. It's a shame that the woman said "I found them here" etc When a liar might have said" I slept here 2 days ago and they showed up ( not 30). I knew the police were coming back. ***I have been saying to stop the eviction and foreclosure moratorium for years now. When people get their homes back the appliances are missing, floors, and even wires in the wall. I bet they would not go into anything I owned or people I know. * I am not a lawyer, posted for conversation purposes only-nothing is guaranteed. #foreclosures #evictions #realestate #migrants #bordercrisis #bordersecurity Thttps://lnkd.in/gjGXRiW2

Did you know? While overall property crimes dip in winter, the holiday season sees a 22% spike in larceny compared to the average rate for all months combined. Opportunistic thieves target not just gifts in your car, but also garage door openers, granting easy access to your home. 🏠🔑 We stressed this last month, but it bears repeating as we're seeing a concerning spike and more news reports of such incidents. Leaving gifts or valuables in your car, even while parked at the mall or grocery store between shopping, is an invitation to thieves. But the risk isn't just about stolen items from your car; it's about safeguarding your home too. A visible garage opener, especially alongside great gifts, can make your home an even more appealing target. Stay vigilant and keep our valuables and homes secure and keep your holiday bright STORY HERE: https://lnkd.in/dfndVw4q Acuity Advantage (403) 860-9921 AcuityAdvantage.com Licensed | Insured | bonded | Criminal background checked | Accredited by the National Home Watch Association

🏡 Attention Homebuyers and Refinancers! 🚨 Exciting times call for extra caution. Buying a new home or refinancing can be thrilling, but amidst the chaos, there's a rising cyber threat you need to know about. Real estate and mortgage wire fraud are on the rise, and falling victim to it can cost you your down payment and dream home. Here's how the scam works: Fraudsters target real estate professionals, gaining access to email accounts and gathering information about upcoming sales. Then, posing as agents or title company reps, they trick buyers into wiring money to their accounts. ✏ Stay Safe with These Tips: 1. Confirm in Person: Verify wiring instructions with your real estate agent or title company representative in person. 2. Call to Confirm: If you can't meet in person, call at a known number to confirm wire instructions before transferring funds. 3. Watch for Changes: Be suspicious of last-minute changes to wire instructions via email, text, or calls. 4. Secure Communication: Avoid sharing sensitive financial info through email; it's not secure. 5. Stay Updated: Keep your computer's software and security systems up to date. 6. Act Swiftly: If you suspect a scam, contact your financial institution immediately and report to authorities. Enjoy your new home securely!
