In light of your story last night about the lady in New York whose house was a victim of squatters , I thought I would tell you about how this problem is being addressed in Alabama. Check out House bill 182 in the State of Alabama which will be voted on soon. It gives a property owner the assistance of law enforcement to remove a person illegally occupying a dwelling within 24 hours after signing a sworn affidavit. It's not that big of a problem in Alabama yet, although I did hear some stories about squatters on the Gulf Coast in properties owned by persons who rent property there. It's hard to believe this is even happening. New York legislators need to wake up.
