Good one! You sure got me.
Yeah, Iâm not sure how this isnât criminal trespass, either. And given that it sounds like it could be several months before the new owner actually gets to move in, thereâs got to be a civil case for damages as wellâŚ
Unfortunately for him, time spent on the property legally doesnât count⌠

THEN THEY SHOULD REGISTER THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT VOLUBLY!
This does lend credence to the idea that there a lot of long-time lurkers, never-time post-or-likers about.

Wow. I tried to watch a couple of the linked videos but they made me cringe in embarrassment. If I happened to believe in hell Iâd think that subreddit was taking a sneak peek in to (one of) mine.
It seems perfectly straightforward to me.

I think absent a court order for eviction (which should be easily obtained) you could still call a sherriff over to watch you while you change the locks on your own house. Possession really is 9/10th of the law in such a situation, so doing what you can to get physical possession is key, because then the sherriff will tell the interloper to bug off instead of you.

I first heard about them from my professor when I was in Paralegal Studies 101. She worked as a prosecutor in my county and she said theyâre a real pain in the ass to prosecute. Judges hate them, court clerks hate them, and even their own lawyers (in certain rare cases where they allow themselves to be represented) hate them.

I feel bad for this lady whoâs being scammed by this moron, but the comments under that article are hilarious. On the other hand, he clearly has a mental disability, so I shouldnât laugh. But wow, thatâs one dumb crook.

This stuff is NOT to be taken lightly, no self help evictions, changing locks or other creative solutions. Depending on the state, people with absolutely no rights by common sense can effectively take your property. There are RULES! Even if a landlord knows a renter has packed up and left, and has not paid the rent, even for months, he can be charged with trespass letting himself in if the tenant has not formally surrendered the keys, giving him âpossessionâ.

But since itâs Tennessee, I would assume that trespassers may justifiably be shot. It may be easier than eviction. /s
