Excerpt From Senior Managing Partner, Craig Novak:
Dallas is the second biggest hotspot, with an estimated 475 homes taken over by squatters.
Local attorney Craig Novak says he has seen cases surge by around a third in the last year, driven by a rise in what he calls ‘professional tenants’ – those who ‘make their living off landlords’.
‘These are people that know the property code, as well as some attorneys, and they know how to play the game,’ he told DailyMail.com.
No one has proved more adept at this than Heather Schwab, a serial squatter who DailyMail.com can reveal is now on the run again despite being arrested twice last year.
