Squatters allegedly take over home of couple in their 70s

A couple in Colorado Springs is facing a challenging situation where a homeless woman, her boyfriend, and her son have taken over their home. The daughters of the couple have set up a GoFundMe page to cover legal fees as the squatters have refused to leave. The couple, who are in their 70s and on a fixed income, are struggling to afford the legal process required to remove the unwelcome guests. Despite calling the police multiple times, they have been unable to get help as the squatters were initially invited into the home. The case will likely require a court order and enforcement by El Paso County. To get squatters out of your property in California, you need to start by writing a letter to terminate their tenancy rights and demand they leave by a specific date. If they refuse to leave, you can file an eviction complaint, which may take up to a couple of months to resolve. The situation can become more complicated if the squatters have a compromised mental state, as legal guardianship or conservatorship may be needed. This process can be time-consuming and expensive, but the goal is to ultimately remove the squatters from the property. The law should not favor squatters who invade homes and make themselves comfortable, and changes may be necessary to address this issue.
