What We Do On-Site:

- If law enforcement is willing, assist in removing and arresting trespassers.
- Once the property is cleared, our team stays on-site to coordinate security measures with the property owner and their vendors, including lock changes, window boarding, and security camera installation. Squatter Squad facilitates the process but does not perform or assume responsibility for locksmith or security work.
- If an arrest is not made, we attempt negotiations using legal and strategic methods to convince the occupant(s) to leave.
- Serve a 3-Day Notice to Quit & Communication Letter:
- Officially document notice of trespassing.
- Leave a direct contact letter encouraging occupants to negotiate their departure.
- The 3-Day Notice to Quit marks the official start of the eviction process. If the occupant(s) fail to respond within the designated period, Squatter Squad will move forward with formal eviction proceedings unless alternative arrangements are made with the client.
- Post No Trespassing Notices & Legal Documentation:
- Install at least two No Trespassing signs.
- File the Trespasser Arrest Authorization Form, a legal requirement for future enforcement.
This package ensures direct action, strategic negotiation, and property security, setting the stage for rapid resolution.
Our commitment is to provide professional guidance on established legal strategies to facilitate the return of the property to its rightful owner through expedited procedures, ensuring your peace of mind is restored promptly.
Please be advised that while we strive for optimal outcomes, we cannot guarantee a 100% success rate in removing unauthorized occupants due to the complex and unpredictable nature of such situations. Should we discover that our services are being misused for illegal eviction purposes, we will terminate the engagement without reimbursement. To maximize the effectiveness of our efforts, it is crucial to provide accurate and transparent information about the property.
