Evict trespassers legally. Sounds reasonable.
once they are there for more than 30 days, they can claim squatters rights. the real problem is the person they didn't buy the house from did not evict them prior to selling, or he knew they were there and did not feel like going through the legal system to remove them, and left it for you to deal with. now, the question is, did he disclose that the home had squatters there, if he didn't, the OP can sue him to recover the legal costs, since he withheld relevant information prior to the sale being agreed to. something tells me the OP would not have bought the home if they knew about the squatters.
We have squatters in our neighborhood and cops nor owners can do anything. They start fires, throw parties. And in most states you can't start the eviction till August. In our building we're the only ones who are paying rent. Good luck it's ridiculous how they treat folks who are doing right
It isn't bullshit. Your issue is with either the seller, if they knew there were squatters present, or your lawyer, if they didn't make the correct enquiries of the seller, orfailed to report the issue to you. If you knew that they were there, but failed to check their rights, then your issue is with yourself!
It's really hard for me to sympathize with house flippers since they're making houses completely impossible to buy.

It’s the law. You have to legally evict.
