I rented a place recently in Atlanta to prepare for a move for RTO. I lost my deposit I think. The condo I rented was rented to me was subletted to me by a squatter. I signed a contract for a year lease, paid my deposit. I was contacted by the condo owner who says they actually own the property and I can't move there because they have relatives currently looking to live there. I don't know who is real, because the condo owner is coming off looking like a squatter too. What if I was buying a place and it was a squatter? Then I googled and found how massive of a problem it is in Atlanta. This is a nightmare and now I'm out of precious money I couldn't afford to spend to begin with to keep this job.
Squatters discussing Atlanta:
*Theres a lot of good abandoned houses. Especially with so many LLCs buying homes to hold as they fall into disrepair. The hard part about squatting is always utilities. Sometimes you can be lucky enough to find a place with utilities on. *
