Squatter story from Baltimore County. Local small 20 acre farm. Owner and wife would go to Florida for three months December > February. On their farm a small cottage that would be available as barter accommodation for a worker farmhand. Upon returning after months away - a previous worker knew their routine and had moved in to the cottage, signed kids up in school, established residency. After months of pursuing them through the court system, postponements and appeals (thousands in legal fees) they finally got the squatters out.
