Landowner Faces Lawsuit In Georgia
Morris, who currently resides in California, says the squatters began inhabiting his property in southeast Atlanta at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. While there were once approximately 30 unwanted occupants living on his land, the number has now dropped to eight.
Morris and his attorney, David Perrie, recently obtained a Writ of Possession, which is necessary when seeking to terminate a tenant’s right to possession. However, Morris says he is currently dealing with backlash from some of the squatters in response to this legal action.
He has spent significant amount of money cleaning up garbage left by vagrants on his property. He says he has spent $10,000 on this cleanup process, adding to the frustration and financial burden of the situation. However, Morris remains determined to reclaim his property and turn it into a positive and beneficial space for the community.
Meanwhile, Morris continues to face pushback from the remaining squatters on his property, who are refusing to leave. The legal process is ongoing, and it may take a few more weeks before Morris is able to fully reclaim his land. In the meantime, he continues to face challenges and expenses, but he remains committed to resolving the situation and making a positive impact in his community. [

Thank God for Ron DeSantis as Florida is 'leading the nation in this quest to approach squatters legally and kick them the hell out. [House Bill 621] gives police the ability to immediately evict squatters. That does not exist in most states, because they're treated as a civil matter. It also charges squatters with a misdemeanor for squatting or presenting a false lease. And furthermore, it's a felony for them to do $1,000 or more damage to the property.
