Flip side of marriage?

This is reality meets the law. Luckily, most shitheads are not keenly aware of this "ability".

BEWARE! When you cross paths with somebody who is aware of these rights, they can ruin your life!
Colorado really is a Democrat's paradise now.


Which is how squatters are able to enter a vacant house and become the nightmare from hell once inside your vacant abode. At this time with the strong housing market , not so much.
Just something to keep in mind

If you show up with a large wolfish looking dog, most folks don't want to argue with you. Doesn't always work against bears though.

It took about 2 years to get the squatters out of the crack house next door.

Took the same amount or longer to rid the other house of section 8 folks who brought nothing but trouble with them.

Both accounts above were 100% caused by a shady landlord/slum lord. Out for the $'s and nothing else.

There are certainly creative ways to make it uncomfortable and encourage them to leave... but you're talking about a battle of wills... in the above example, they may be able to win over the dog with love and treats... (not everybody is afraid of big dogs)

Terry Bradshaw's naked room comes to mind (from movie Failure to launch)...

but at some point, they could possibly invoke tenant rights... (so shutting off the heat is an example of something you can't do)
One question I would have- since there's no rental agreement, does that mean you can increase the rent to $10,000/mo with minimum notice, then send it to collection when they don't pay it?

Hopefully don't ever have to figure it out... it was a nightmare for my brother-in-law... he was hit with a domestic based on her accusation (even though he was the one with bruises) and kicked out- though he was the one on the rental agreement... and she lived there for 2 months until he did an eviction process (once they served her with the eviction notice, she left- knowing that she was going to eventually be evicted)... but he couldn't even go home because of a restraining order related to the domestic charges

The best "tip" (not advice) I can give in the above situation where there is no agreement - and unfortunately, I do have experience with it -

1) Find some way to draw them away, or a time when they will be away, preferably several hours outside of town.
2) Time delivery of one of those rentable mobile storage containers and the help of friends, pre-purchase new locks for quick swap-out.
3) While the person is away - and you need to have a safe buffer of a few hours - quickly load all their shit into the unit and have pickup scheduled.
4) Don't forget to re-program garage door.
5) Add alarm stickers to door.
6) If you think they may do utilize a locksmith, then in advance, order or have a friend plotter-cut (reverse oriented) vinyl signs to place in all the glass (inside the house) near the doors: NO LOCKSMITH SERVICE PERMITTED. CALL OWNER "_____" AT ###-####. I guess you could print it on paper as well, but it has to be very visible.
7) If contacted by police, deny, deny, deny. Remind LEO that it's a civil issue, the person does not have any property in the house and deny that they have ever.

This obviously carries risk because this is not the "legal" avenue. This is not legal advice, hire an attorney for legal advice.

FED actions suck because they can literally haul away all your stuff, damage your house, with little to no repercussions. Have you saved receipts for the "stuff" in your house? No? Well, the receipts you do have, where are they? Oh, your house. Well, Bob Barker says everything is his, can you prove it isn't? [I've literally seen it roll like that]. Then Bob Barker uses your vehicle in your garage to steal all your shit and documents. No ramifications.

It's hard for people to believe that this can and does happen. They still have some cognitive dissonance and need to believe the system works.

At such a level, I'd feel morally OK with some things I would never otherwise feel are justified.

Foxtrot, what has Bob Barker ever done to you? you REALLY don't seem to like this guy

Methyl mercaptan and claim a gas leak. Psychological warfare. Anarchists Cookbook. etc.

also a book called "don't get mad, get even"... if it gets to the point where they have it in for you like that, the gloves come off...

And for what it's worth, I'd give the same advise to anyone, male or female- if a woman has a clingy "roommate"... just so we're clear I'm off of the OP's topic- I think that person needs to get therapy to deal with their commitment issues.... but then again, I'm coming up on my 27th wedding anniversary in Februrary

So what you're telling me is that I need to befriend a super rich person enough to get inside their house, while at the same time have mail sent there, etc, then jack everything and say it was mine and I brought it with me when I "moved in"? Now I don't have to worry about saving for retirement!
