We have been following the growing problem of squatters and how it is adversely affecting residential communities across the nation. Now comes one we can hardly believe and really takes the cake; A recent storyy in the New York Post says migrant TikToker with a 500k-strong online social media following is offering his fellow migrants tips on how to “invade” unoccupied homes in America and invoke squatter’s rights. Yeah, you read that right.
According to the NY Post, the Venezuelan national Leonel Moreno appears to live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, and said in a recent video that under U.S. law, “if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.” His video rant along with captions in English cane be seen below.
The firebrand influencer, who lives with his partner and their baby daughter, argued that the only way for his fellow migrants to escape living on the streets and not become a “public burden” is to “invade” unoccupied homes.
He appeared to be referring to adverse possession laws, commonly known as squatter’s rights, which allow unlawful property occupants rights over the property they occupy without the owner’s consent, in certain circumstances.
