Detroit Homeowner Forced to Share Place with Squatter Until Court Decides

idk what to think about this. I mean, yeah idk.

"Heidi Peterson always dreamed of living in a historical home. In May of 2010, she bought one in Detroit's Boston-Edison District for $23,000.

After being away for a year, she said she returned to her house last week and found a woman living there. Peterson learned from neighbors she had been living there for a few months.

Peterson claims the squatter changed the locks, reworked the plumbing, replaced her appliances, put a lien on the house and even changed the curtains, and now this squatter won't leave. So now they are forced to sleep one room away from each other, Peterson with her one-year-old daughter.

The alleged squatter's name is documented all over the house as Missionary-Tracey Elaine Blair, a write-in candidate for president."

what? How is there some ambiguity. She either has a signed lease or she doesn't. She either has her name on the title or she doesn't. I can't imagine a scenario that could be more straight forward.

Also, regardless of what the law says I would make it perfectly clear that it is in their best interest to leave my house immediately. I might have to kill a bitch.

I'd have to agree with that. I wouldn't wanna hurt anyone but I'd probably burn the place down before I'd let them stay there.

I wouldn't burn it down. But good luck going to sleep in MY bedroom in MY house. Better hope you don't fall asleep before me.

Why wouldn't she wait for the squatter to leave, and change the locks, and throw their shit in the front yard. By by. If she can't figure that out on her own, then she deserves to deal with this for a while. Squatters are a real problem in Michigan these days.

In some places if they receive mail to the house they have to be evicted through court. Makes it hard when you don't know who you're evicting, have to do an "et al" in the suit and go to court, get a judgement, then call the sheriff out to oversee the eviction. People do it to foreclosed homes all the time, or even the people who got foreclosed on break back in and have to be evicted.

Similar shit happens when your tenant lets someone else move in with them unbeknownst to you and without your permission, then the tenant you have the contract with moves out and you have some stranger in your house refusing to pay. Can't just kick their ass out or you'll get sued. I lost $2700 to tenants for what the judge considered "retaliatory eviction", had to give them money and let them live there free for 3 months....in Maryland...I'd just bought the house, the tenants called the health dept and hit me with a bunch of shit (leak in the roof, clogged drain with hair, stained ceiling from water damage due to roof), I gave them an eviction notice so I could get the unit free to work on, they sued me and won. Then after I paid them, waited the 3 months, and they returned the house the son broke in and took a shit on the carpet in the living room and smeared it in a couple places.
