Georgia is one state that has strengthened penalties for squatters, and made the process of evicting squatters a faster process for homeowners. The Georgia Squatter Reform Act was signed by Gov. Brian Kemp back in April 2024. The law, in part, makes squatting a criminal offense and speeds up the eviction process for squatting cases. 'Unfortunately, bad actors have figured out ways to take advantage of this, exploit, really the process that goes through the local government.
The court has seven days to make a determination if that’s a good lease or a fake lease,' he told the outlet. In the past few years, Georgia has seen an uptick in squatter cases that have been brought to court, according to a report by the Pacific Legal Foundation, which reported an upward trend in squatter cases beginning in 2019.
