which is not his fault, but is the case

I wish we had squatter laws like they have in England. if you live somewhere for seven years without the owner saying something, you now own the land. -- nm - zork Jun 27, 11:50
but how does the renter know this dude is the real owner without involving the authorities? Maybe I really own and not these other folk -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 11:50 31
- true. I assumed Krusty's friend verified this already. -- nm - decline Jun 27, 11:50
- no matter who owns it, I am pretty sure he can't be evicted on 24 hours notice. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:50 29
  - if i come home, to my house, and someone is living there, illegally (whether they know it or not), i'm hoping i can have them removed asap. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:52 28
    - (now, truth be told, if i didn't need the place and it was a parent with kids who clearly had been scammed, i probably would give them a week ) -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:53 4
      - I believe the law in NY is 30 days. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:54 3
        
        JACK. does this law hold here? I would assume no. -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 12:02 2

        it sounds like not. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 12:02
    - of course, but if they have a receipt or cancelled cheque for rent then you're going to a hotel. -- nm - zork Jun 27, 11:53
    - of course. but evicting people isn't that easy. I used to help my dad with some cases like that when he was a lawyer. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:53 21
      - but i'm not 'evicting them', they are trespassing. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:53 20
        
        they are living there and you want them out, so yeah you are evicting them. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:54 17
        
        so, i come home tonight and some guy is sitting on my couch. the police aren't going to show up and toss him out? -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:55 16
        
        That's a little different. You are actively living there. Sounds like the "owner" doesn't live at this place. So things are little more complicated. - sycor Jun 27, 11:57 10
        
        oh, i feel terrible for Krusty's friend, it's horrible, but i don't think he has any rights to stay. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 12:07

        but the tenant is not claiming ownership and even in the case of the painting the person in possession might be able to argue for a timeline to return - zork Jun 27, 12:06 4

        yeah an object would be a totally different kettle of fish, that would role into you lso being a thief of it if not returned -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 12:10 2

        ahh, makes sense -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 12:12
        
        and how did he get a key? did the fake owner sublet it illegally? the lease rights may have passed on. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:58 2
        
        I don't lock my door. this could totally happen at my house. -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 12:00 1
        
        *moves in* -- nm - znufrii Jun 27, 12:06
        
        I think the big distinction here is that we're speaking of an empty apartment, not "your house" -- nm - oblique Jun 27, 11:56 2

        "it's a furnished apartment." -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 12:04
        
        he has a key to the place and all his stuff is there? They might not believe he is trespassing. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:56 1
        
        Yeah, I'm inclined to believe you're right. -- nm - mara Jun 27, 11:58
        
        (ie - they were never a tenant) -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:54 1
        
        there are lots of people in NYC who rent without leases. if you want to evict them you have to go through the process. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:55
