Factors to Consider Before Letting Someone Move Into Your Home - New Resource

Home should feel safe.

If you let someone move in with you to help them out for a time and they are now: 

    - taking advantage of you;
    - abusing you; and/or
    - refusing to leave, 

the Disability & Aging Crime Victims unit may be able to help! Our goal is to assist you in getting any unwanted person (squatter) out of your home so you can feel safe and maintain your housing. 

A squatter is someone who lives in a place without permission or stays longer than they were originally allowed. This can happen when someone is invited to live in a place but refuses to leave when they are supposed to. Squatting can cause difficulties for the real owners or the people who are supposed to use the place. It's important to know what to do if you have a squatter to protect your rights and space. There are important considerations to think about before letting someone move into your home.
