“HE MOVED IN WITH MY 94-YEAR-OLD MOTHER, ATE HER FOOD, AND REFUSED TO LEAVE.”
“The eviction courts are packed full,” Cynthia laments, reflecting on her tumultuous journey battling a professional squatter who preyed upon her elderly mother. Cynthia, an AAOA member, recounts the initial signs of trouble: “He moved in with my 94-year- old mother... seemed like a nice guy... paid the first month.” However, suspicions arose when her mother reported her food was missing, causing her to lose weight rapidly. Despite serving notices when he stopped paying rent and installing security cameras, Cynthia found herself ensnared in a web of legal complexities and bureaucratic hurdles. She made over a dozen attempts to start the eviction in Orange County, but misspellings and technicalities kept preventing her from regaining control of her property. “I finally paid $3,000 for a service to help me file the eviction, but even they encountered court delays,” Cynthia recalls.
