Landlords can get a raw deal in the best of circumstances. Throw this so called "freemen" shit into the mix and Caverhill is screwed. It'll take forever to get him out and once he is out he'll file all kinds of frivolous lawsuits.

$1:

"We have referred the homeowner to information on possible civil resolutions and will certainly investigate if we receive further details that indicate this may be a criminal matter."

Funny, I thought fraud was illegal. Sounds like the cops being lazy if you ask me.

Pretty sure he wouldn't have time to if the government decided to hit him with all the charges they would have on him by now just to make an example of him. But I guess they're too busy with arresting pot smokers than enforcing actual laws now.

At this new job, we get bulletins about these 'Freemen' all the time. Usually prefaced by "may become violent...".

I guess what they say is true - "Common Sense" isn't.

A building is not an embassy. You cannot live in an embassy. Kick his ass out for being both a useless waste of skin and being an uneducated dullard.
Then again, it sounds like the law in that area has the same problem.


For the landlord however, this is an easy solution. Winter is coming. Call up the utilities and see how much that useless fuck enjoys living with no hydro, running water or heat.

The 'Free Man' concept makes them believe that by declaring the place 'an Embassy' it falls into the same category as an actual Embassy. The whole 'Freeman' movement mantra goes like this: "Free yourslef from tyranny by accepting the bullshit someone else who doesn't know what they are talking about (but says it convincingly enough) says and you too can live tax free on the backs of others." Until it comes time to pay the piper, then you are FUBAR.

She might not have that option. I believe you can't cut off heat and water when it's freezing outside. Unless she acts quickly, that's where the temps are heading real soon.

Well, there is a different kinds of home renta. Usually journalists just see a crying old granny and don't want to know a details. In my personal opinion guys saw old folk and tried to make some money. Civil law is very flexible in this way.

I'm sure these "freeman" are the same bums that were camped out all over the country side last year claiming to be the neglected 99%.

[Thanos]

No, they're far more closely related to the hyper-extreme bullshit artists that inhabit the hardcore conservatard libertarian scene. The "freemen" like the ones in the article are the kind that are actually too anti-social to become members of anti-government militia groups.

Occupy Wall Streeters point at Freemen and go . . ."Haaaa haaaaa!"

*Shudder* We just had an issue with a pain in the ass tenant we just recently evicted, but stories like this make me fearful when I take over the family's rental properties.
