An Atlanta-property owner was sued by a squatter who took over his property during the pandemic, years after he let people stay for free if they maintained the land.
An Atlanta property owner explained how his good deed turned into a nightmare after squatters took advantage of his kindness and trashed his property. 'It just got out of hand,' David Morris told 'Fox & Friends' on Wednesday. The saga began about ten years ago, when Morris let four people live on the nine-acre Georgia property for free temporarily on the condition that they helped maintain the land.
What we've done is create new code in the Georgia law that, in a nutshell, says, if you're squatting in a home, and you do not have the consent or legal authority to be in it, you'll be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor of a highly aggravated nature. You'll be fined, and you may spend up to a year behind bars,' he said. Fox News' Teny Sahakian and Taylor Penley contributed to this report.
