Despite signing on the court day that she would move out in 7 days and waiving her right to appeal, she still appealed, preventing me from filing a writ of possession.

My wife and I recently inherited a home, which we took possession of earlier this year. 

I currently am a resident here (so distance is non-factor) and I possess some handy skills that could save renovation costs (besides HVAC, structural issues, plumbing, electrical work).

Squatters can now be locked out of a property and their possessions removed, but a landlord CANNOT physically remove the squatters themselves.The local police are supposed to enforce these laws and assist landlords in removing squatters.The reality is that when you call the Detroit Police to remove squatters:1) The police often don’t know/care about squatter laws and state you must take the squatters to court to evict them.

I do not possess any special list.

@Edward @Edward Augsberger The court order grants possession to the receiver.

In Cook County, Illinois, single action is for possession.

@Nate McCarthy What makes it worth a renter's money to pay rent is possession of the premises.

Whereas, you could be on the AG's hook for screwing John Doe the homeowner out of his sole possession in his life. 

No warnings, just terminate if possible to gret rid of this problem tenant.5) Theft of tenant possessions - ignore.- Have they filed a police report?
