Heidi Peterson, Detroit Homeowner, Finds Squatter In House

[Tigress DEM]

20. The boiler was working when she bought the house. Not so fishy.

Squatter had a lease, but once there is no heat, both the homeowner and renter would have to leave because the place would be condemned by the city as non-livable until repairs were made. So the renter returned illegally.

Somewhere it said the renter is a "write in candidate for president" maybe that "program" part is in some other article covering that aspect of the story.

BUT all that said, I think the homeowner should get over her initial upset and add that lien to the tennent's bill over time or keep all the appliances, some equitable arrangement. IF the renter is delusional, then she needs to go to the hospital first and the owner needs to get family involved to make decisions and possibly other living arrangements.
