Here's a variation on the squatter problem:
My next door neighbor allowed someone to stay in her Ohana dwelling in exchange for yard work. When the woman didn't do any yard work, she was asked to leave, but wouldn't. When the police came, the unwanted guest said it was her land and the cops almost arrested my 30+ year neighbor . When they realized who the owner really was they still said they could do nothing. It took months to get the lady out. I was in utter disbelief. Now I don't invite any strangers to stay here because I don't want any hassle at my home. It's too bad because in the 80's we'd often bring world travelers home to stay and enjoyed their company. Some offered free labor for building and yard work. Don't we as landowners have the right to show someone to the door?
