Squatters

[David Gauthier]

We own a rental condo and have been informed by our tenant that the neighbor across the hall has walked away from her unit.  Since that time, a new occupant has moved in.  Our tenant has stated that there are a lot of people going in and out in the evening and she is not sure who lives there.

Our HOA has refused to investigate who is occupying the unit.

Could they be squatters, if so, how can we find out and can we remove them. What action should be expected from our HOA.

The unit is in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
