You hear horror stories like the one WWLTV just shared all the time. It seems like the Property Owners have a hard time dealing with this sort of thing regardless of the State. How did the balance of power shift so drastically in favor of the squatters over the actual property owners? I can understand the protection for Tenants but shouldn't Property Owners also be offered the same protection that allows them to remove people like this and prevent property damage? Isn't that one of the main reasons that rental and lease agreements are present? The agreements defines the responsibility of each member of the contract. Without a contract or an initial contract shouldn't squatters be removed immediately? Why is the system hand-cuffed so bad that it cannot react in a timely manner?

Squatters take over Portland home, owner says he was beat up after asking them to leave
PORTLAND, Ore. — The owner of a home in Southeast Portland is trying to sell the property but says that he can’t — ever since some strangers moved in and refused to leave.
It started back in January when the homeowner left town and the property was empty.
“Some guys, they just basically walked into the property, took it over,” said Nathan Jones, a realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.
