Real estate agent and LPQC founder John Procida on the adverse possession flap:
In my neighborhood, Flushing Queens New York, There are two houses that have been taken by Squatters.
I recently attended a demonstration of about 150 people in front of one of those homes led by our councilwomen Vickie Paladino.
The unfortunate home owner was there and told us all her terrible story. While the squatters inside the house laughed at us.
In New York State it can take 2 years to get a squatter out of someone’s property.
The law must be changed, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul.
In Florida the Law has just been changed by a compassionate Governor who believes
that a property owner is more important than a Squatter.
If I was to go on a vacation I would get a relative live in my house while I am away.
As I do not know if I would be able to control my temper if I came home to (what was my
Home) and found some pieces of crap living there enjoying the contents of my many years of hard work and laughing at me.
Name omitted for obvious reasons. I would hope that you will forward this to anyone living in New York State as it may put pressure on the Gov. to do something here, but please make sure my name does not appear anywhere.
