Turns out the reason the squatter even has a chance is because I filed wrong.
I didn't know how else to file against him. He's trespassing, but the police wouldn't do sһit about it. And under Oregon law, since he managed to stay more than 10 days, he counts as a tenant. But now, because I filed against him as if he were a tenant, he's able to claim that he has a contract. And under that contract, we were required to provide electricity, drinkable water, and a septic drain.
All because I didn't know the right procedure for filing against somebody like him.
Thing is, we had a lawyer already. Frank Wall. I'm not afraid to publicize his name, because it should be publicized. He's a worthless son of a bitсһ who took our $100 retainer and has done nothing ever since.
@Heavenlywarrior That's correct. He didn't even seek us out when he moved onto the property. The first I ever heard that he was even there was when our paying tenant called me up and told me to have him move his trailer out of her driveway.
@Heavenlywarrior Nobody knew this guy before he just moved in. And when we talked to him, he said he was going to be moving out in just a couple of weeks. Then a month or so later, he said that he would be gone as soon as he could repair his trailer. After that, he claimed he had injured his back, and he would be moving out as soon as possible.
The police have done nothing about him. We've tried to get him removed as a trespasser, but apparently, if someone is there longer than 10 days, you can't do it that way.
