About This Scenario

Your investment property has become a legal nightmare. A squatter who initially seemed like a one-night trespasser has been receiving mail at your address for 30 days, establishing a claim of residency. Now they're refusing to leave, citing tenant rights, and you must navigate the delicate balance between property rights and avoiding illegal self-help eviction.

How It Starts

Listen carefully because I'm only going to say this once: If you've done anything to harass or intimidate this tenant - changing locks, cutting utilities, threats - tell me now. It'll be much worse if I find out later.

This is how Detective Sarah Chen, Tenant Rights Division's greeting will start.
