A Few Nights Turned Into Years of Problems
Imagine hiring a contractor to repair an aging septic line and handle a few other issues at your San Diego property.
The home was vacant during renovations, and the contractor had a long drive home. He asked if he could stay at the property for a few nights.
The owner agreed.
A couple of weeks later, they drove by and noticed something was very wrong.
Boats were showing up. RVs were moving onto the property. More people were staying there.
The contractor had started inviting others onto the property, renting out rooms and even charging people for RV space.
What began as permission to stay for a few nights turned into a neighborhood nightmare that lasted for years.
The owners tried to get help, but getting everyone off the property proved far more difficult than expected.
Eventually, their real estate agent contacted Squatter Squad.
We worked with the local sheriff’s department and followed the legal process. It took time. It even required an eviction.
But in the end, we got the property back.
It all started with one simple favor.
