Help with squatters

Jon Haney
Posted

Hi everyone, 

I'm reaching out for help with squatters. I purchased a property back in August 2022 in St Louis that I planned to do some light renovations to (putting in around $10k) and then rent out. Unfortunately, before I could get a chance to do the renovations, squatters started occupying the property. I live out of town and I stay very busy with work, making travel to St Louis tricky on my end. 

For the past several months I've hired a property service company to board up the place, call the police for me when they spot someone in the home, and even clean the place out. Unfortunately, none of these things have worked, and at least one of the squatters is still occupying the place. 

The police have been agreed to make an arrest, but unfortunately it's difficult to catch the squatters since I live so far away and since the property service can only call the police during the day (which is often when the squatters are out).  

Any advice would be incredibly appreciated . . . thank you!!

Jon

Below is a video showing how this owner got a squatter out.  This squatting nonsense has to stop.
