I’ve recently heard that a woman was able to get a squatter out of her rental property by creating a lease for her adult son who waited outside the rental property until the squatter left that day and then went into the house and moved everything out, changed the locks, and told the squatter when he came back that he (the son) had a an actual lease agreement with the owner and had the right to be there and if the squatter didn’t get off the property he would be calling the cops.
