Stop Squatters Act allows property owners to request law enforcement to remove unlawful occupants from residential or commercial properties.
The Stop Squatters Act establishes a process for property owners to request local law enforcement to remove individuals unlawfully occupying residential or commercial properties. The property owner must file a verified complaint with the local sheriff or police chief, detailing specific conditions such as the property being private, the occupant not being an immediate family member, and the absence of pending litigation. Law enforcement is then required to conduct preliminary fact-finding. If probable cause is found, they must serve a notice to vacate and remove the occupant.
