Anyone Have Experience With Squatters
We've got a situation where someone has moved in with no lease and established residence. They've even established cable/internet service to the location. We initially thought they may have been the victim of a lease scam themselves, however, they seem to be avoiding contact. We have no idea what their name is but we've gotten word to them via the neighbor to contact us or the police officer we were working with and the seem to be avoiding it. Since they're not contacting us now I'm more suspicious of them and believe they may actually be responsible for the initial break-in. Looking at the Maryland laws it does seem that removing squatters is much easier that a standard eviction, by filing a wrongful detainer claim.
I would appreciate any tips on good local attorneys with experience removing squatters. Additionally maybe some tips on trying to figure out the name of squatter, I've already tried the address in places like BeenVerified with no luck.
