Following a story that received national exposure, State Representative Kevin Steele has introduced House Bill 621 in order to “close a legal loophole” protecting landlords from squatters and “adverse possession”
“Steele’s bill would not only remove squatters if they cannot produce a notarized lease or proof they are paying rent, but also would add criminal charges for anyone producing fraudulent documentation.”
