If you call to have the utilities shut off, they'll refuse; New York law obligates you to pay the utility bills for the people occupying your home.

Not long after word got out, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill eliminating squatters’ rights in the state.

Someone in the replies said this story aired 10 years ago; who knows where she is now? A Fox News reporter spoke with a squatter in Detroit who doesn't care that the owner wants their house back.
