Illinois is a joke when it comes to squatters.

Seems they have more rights than actual homeowners in that state.

The best way to deal with it is to round up a group of friends and family and physically remove them.

Goes back to at least the Great Depression when people were abandoning properties or dying off and leaving properties nobody was using.

Illinois is a joke when it comes to squatters.

It's not just Illinois. It's like that everywhere in the US. It takes months to forcibly evict them.

In order to get squatter's rights you basically have to be living there for years and paying bills that come to that address. It's not like someone can break in while you're on vacation and claim it's theirs now.

In order to get squatters rights to the property and win in a court of law, yes. You need to be there for like 20 years in Illinois.

But the laws make it so the onus is on the property owner to get a court order before someone can by physically removed in some states (like Illinois). And the courts are backed up for months. So the process can take several months and costs several thousands (or tens of thousands) if the squatter is crafty enough, and has been there for even a few months:

WTF? That means people can work at senior communities to "network" and find someone potentially single with no next of kin, and plan to stay there for a few months before anybody notices. Squatters shouldn't have these rights.

Reminds me of that Netflix movie with Tyrion Lannister, no next of kin seniors being taken advantage of for profit.

Most senior community homes won't be owned by the people who live in them.

Of course. No one posts in them and then they post in topics like this asking what you are asking. A vicious cycle.

They want to try to get free housing. I don't see an issue with helping them.

It's the same way in my state. And they wonder why people would rather do short term rentals like airbnb.

My uncle had a scumbag coworker who was a professional squatter. An electrician's salary pays well so he had no reason to do it other than that he could. Before that, he had also worked in his older sister's law office for a while so he knew enough law to make it almost impossible to evict him. One landlord he was tormenting solved the problem by hiring a local gang to jump him. He knew that she had hired them, but there was no proof and he was afraid that if he stayed that one day they would kill him.

It takes like a fucking year to remove squatters from a property. I remember hearing a con story where some family rented an AirBnB for a month, and apparently because of some law that states that because they stayed at that property for 30 days, they were allowed squatter rights or something. It's crazy.

You'd see the issue if they took over your home.
