Sen. John Fetterman ( D- Pa. ) has blasted the idea of” squatter’s rights”, questioning the laws that allow interlopers on a property to claim ownership over its rightful owner, calling it a case of” just breaking the law”.
Squatter rights laws permit anyone who is occupying another person’s house to assert ownership if they are not expelled after a certain period of time. Also known as negative ownership legislation, these laws are in effect in all 50 U. S. says but police varies substantially.
Mr. Fetterman claimed to have had a lot of knowledge of these rules while serving as the Pennsylvania president of Braddock in an interview with The New York Post on April 6. In some cases, they may come into effect after only 30 days of improperly occupying a building.
” It’s crazy that if you go away on a long journey, for 30 days, and someone breaks into your house and immediately, they have right”, he said.
