You can't simply evict a squatter or a non-paying tenant. You have to go the legal route.

True. The legal route in Alberta:

Easy there tiger - when I said there is absolutely nothing you can do, I meant it. You can't walk in the squatter's "residence" and shoot him either. Even in Texas, you have to living in a place to claim that the squatter was trespassing. The whole point is squatters will take your empty place and there is nothing you can do about it.

I'm just relieved to see that law has been abolished in Saskatchewan :D :D .


They don't call it squatting but they do support it. You can't go to the police and register a complaint against the person because it's a "civil matter".

Makes me sound crazy when I say I don't want to own land ever.

I rather just rent a condo from a legit rental company like the one that evil conservative leader owns. The only problem is price gouging.

When you said there's nothing I can do, you forgot to add "besides putting the asshole on the hot end of the barrel".

No I can't shoot him. I can dump a whole mag of AR15 at his feet though. If he's still staying, he sure as hell deserved it.

You know the squatter has the legal right to press chargers against you, right? That would mean kiss good bye to your citizenship application. Can't get citizenship if you have a criminal record against you.

So yeah...
 
This just prevents them for claiming eventual ownership. Nothing stops them from squatting until a court order of they come up with fake documents and have bills in their name at that address.


That's exactly what I am angry about - in this day and age of digital this and digital that - why aren't there digital records of tenancy. Why is everything is on paper and not on a government database?

Press charges for what? In the case of me emptying a whole mag at his feet, I'm not guilty because "at his feet" is my property and I have the freedom to fire bullets at my own property. Did I shoot him? No. Did I aim at him directly? No. Indirectly? No. Did I otherwise bring any harm to him? No.

Sure as hell made him shit his pants though.

I am pretty sure you can be charged for attempt to murder for something like that. Whether it's thrown out of the court or not is a different matter but they can go to the police for that.

Even if it is digital, I don't think the police won't kick them out immediately. They would still be given a notice period. And the pests would still get some avenues on 'compassionate' grounds especially if they have spawns.

Having said that, squatters coming in and living in an already occupied space is extremely rare. Wouldn't be at the top of the list of problems when buying a primary residence.

Surely you're taking the piss, right?

You're trying to find a way how you can squat my property and get away with it but no simpredo, you aren't taking my property. All you're getting from me is 5.45

Also, you are thinking that squatter will be a white collar level headed man that will just move after that. You never know what kind of a nutcase he might be.

Risk is always there. A legal tenant can turn into a squatter as seen by the story 'rredo posted.
