Couple buys Riverside dream home, but seller refuses to move out in eviction moratorium loophole

Which supports my position that government isn't perfect but not your position that government is always bad. If the government stepped in (as it would have done this time last year and for decades previously), the situation could be resolved.

Taking the money but refusing to vacate the house was private action. I'm still not clear what private action you're suggesting would be preferable here. It'd have to be something entirely outside the scope of government laws and regulations you deem unconditionally unnecessary though, and so not the collection agencies you referred to previously (which is why they probably wouldn't be willing to step in to this case either).

I didn't say collection agency. I said collections specialist. There is a big difference, one is nothing like the other except they have collection in their title. One plays reasonably fair, the other not so much or at all fair. This fight is one should not fight fair in, it requires cheating, duplicity and ruthless bastardism and more than a bit of clandestine ****ery. A collections specialist typically works for people who tend not to care about laws and other such frivolities such as people who lend money off market.
 
You may well owe them a favor (or two), but they will gladly evict those squatters. ;)

I wouldn’t know, I don’t do business with sex traffickers.

Still don’t see what they would do in this scenario. Shrug.

Provide an overwhelming need for self preservation and the accompanying need to be elsewhere in a hurry.

It would most likely entail what we in the legal profession euphemistically called "self-help." That is, breaking into the home, giving the squatter the worst beating of his life, putting a gun in his mouth and telling him that he has all of ten minutes to pack his belongings into his Crown Victoria and hit the road before they drag him with chains and throw whatever remains of him into a ditch outside Barstow.
 
There are a lot of things the buyers did wrong here. First, they didn’t do a final walkthrough prior to close and didn’t get the keys at close. Second, they obviously didn’t spell out a contractual move-out date for the current occupant.

So, violence.

Are we sure of that?

It sounds like you're enthralled by illegal professions. Conservatives seem to thrive on abusing power.

Not at all, Antiwar. I am just spelling out what PirateMk1 was implying.
 
At least a credible hint that it is the only alternative to making a hasty exit. ;)

What if they have guns to protect themselves per the constitution?

Sounds like cooperating with drug dealers and sex traffickers isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Oh, it sure looked like you were speaking for yourself.

Frankly, in an armed contest between drug dealers/sex traffickers and a conman who defrauds a couple out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in their life savings, I would be rooting for the bullets.

In other words the thugs I talked about earlier, you're just trying to cover for them with a pretty name. Why can't you be open and honest about this kind of thing if you'[re promoting it as something to be encouraged and celebrated?

That's exactly what the guy who (allegedly) conned the couple out of their house and money did, so why aren't you supporting him? He was more ruthless and dishonest and so he won. Isn't that what you want to see?

Yet you earlier claimed they had some kind of implicit moral standards? I think you're living in a fantasy world and would be in for a terrible (if brief) shock if we ever actually got the world you think you want.
 



It's like they're living in the USSR:



Because leftists are extremely hostile to private property rights, that's why.



They don't call the state Commiefornia for nothin'.



Remember that progressives see California as the model for the entire nation.
Nothing in that Article said anything about "either of the people" political concepts.
 
Bit of advice. No matter HOW appealing the home or deal is, do not put money against a property until the residents have moved out and you know for CERTAIN what you are about to walk into.
 
The analysis needn't go any farther. The individual is trespassing. He is not a tenant, was never a tenant. He's a squatter.
I agree. I said that earlier in the thread. That's not the logic I mentioned.
