    Yep, and this guy is one form of “resistance”. But doesn’t reporting the squatter to the police count as “resistance” as well? Surely you don’t need to hire private goons to chuck them out?

      Squatters is a civil issue in California, and can take many years to have them evicted if the squatters know how to game the system.

        The time frame it takes to resolve this issue is the primary problem.

        It should be fast and easy to determine if a rental agreement is invalid. I don’t know what that system needs to look like exactly, but we’ve been setting and improving standards for document validation for generations so it shouldn’t be that hard.
