The teacher and her family were able to delay eviction by flaunting a fabricated lease agreement.
A Houston public school teacher and her family have been evicted from a luxury home they were squatting in for months after using a fake lease to remain on the premises.
Prather, a fourth-grade teacher in the Houston Independent School District, squeeze in over two more weeks at the property before Garrett could get back to work on June 15, when they were officially removed — despite being ordered to leave at the beginning of the month.“Finally, they’re out,” Garrett told the outlet. “Now it’s to keep the squatters out completely. We don’t want another situation like this.
Most squatting cases are investigated as a civil matter — with civil courts able to evict the squatters quickly — but those who are knowledgeable can easily play the system in their favor. Squatters in Texas have the ability to move into a home through several avenues, including simply taking it over and taking care of the property., a Houston woman claimed her home was taken over by a squatting family of five, who changed the locks and also drafted a fake lease.
