Just Terrible: Squatter moves in, gets rights in 3 days, and takes 2 months to evict..

[Scott Trench]

Came across this article the other day showing a landlord that lost thousands of dollars because some squatter occupied his vacant rental property:

This is a horrible horrible system where no good people like this squatter can take months to evict resulting in lost rent.

I'm at a loss as to what this landlord could have done better to prevent this. Seems like some folks will just take advantage of you..
