Across the United States, a growing trend of illegal squatting is causing concern among property owners and prompting legal actions. In Southern California, individuals known as squatters are increasingly taking over homes, leading one man to dedicate his life to fighting this issue and protecting homeowners. This phenomenon is not isolated, as U.S. renters are taking corporate landlords to court, and various states are moving to protect property owners by allowing the swift removal of squatters. An attorney specializing in battling squatting explained the legal avenues available to fight back against this issue. In Bellevue, Washington, a landlord named Jaskaran Singh, frustrated with King County's legal system, is organizing a protest outside his rental home on March 16 to highlight the challenges landlords face, including a tenant who hasn't paid rent since May of the previous year but has been able to delay eviction efforts.
