Seriously?! WTF is wrong with people. Assuming squatters rights or implied contract BS is what’s causing this. Makes you not want to help any adult anymore.

This is the logical outcome for the idiots that raise their children to be dependent. How can a parent not teach a child to deal with life?

Q: How do you when your adult child has been staying with you?
A: They’re still there...
The irony is that in a couple decades Ole Squatter likely will be in charge of his elderly parents' alzheimer's arrangements. They probably should have eaten him when they had the chance.

I am at an age where I am looking more at estate planning plus I have an elderly father I am helping. There seems to be a lot of "elder care" law now focused on this specific topic you raise.
I heard about this story when it first got some press. Now that I've seen pictures . . . the manchild looks exactly like I expected him to. Hell, I thought I was falling behind because a several folks I graduated with are already team leads, working their way into management, or were getting their startups off the ground. Guess in the overall age bracket, I'm doing alright for myself.

Some people exist primarily to serve as a cautionary tale. I would venture that this fella is one such person.

Perhaps the rural Alabama equivalent is the adult son who is living in a trailer on the back of the property. I had a friend from our gun club with that problem and his wife was constantly protecting and defending the kid and his trailer. Lots of pot/dope parties, druggie friends in and out, etc.
When he had finally had enough he sold the trailer to one of the mobile home salvage guys, had them come pick it up and move it while the kid was out and left his stuff stacked in the place the trailer used to be. He put up one of those nylon camping tents where the trailer used to be. That ended the dope friends coming to visit. Not sure what happened after that but I admired his solution.
You’d be surprised how often it happens. A good portion of them are parents with heroin addicted kids/grandkids. The parents finally get tired of their stuff being stolen and call us to kick the kid (and their junky girlfriend or boyfriend) out. Sorry. No bueno. Evict them.
But we occasionally get non-related folks who tried to be a Good Samaritan and get shafted.
