It allows law enforcement to remove squatters from someone’s home, treating them as trespassers instead of tenants. But a Chicago homeowner said, despite the new law, she still has alleged squatters living inside her property. The owner said the person inside pointed a gun at her and told her to leave. | Samantha Chatman

SHARE WITH A HOMEOWNER: The Illinois Squatter Law goes into effect tomorrow, January 1st. It’s an issue I’ve been uncovering and investigating for YEARS now.

We are once again seeing the real impact of Illinois’ broken squatting laws. Just this week, squatters moved into a home right next door to a state representative from Cook County. The locks changed.
