There is limited data available regarding squatter cases across the country, but recent reports have shown an uptick in cases in recent years in states like Georgia.
Georgia is one state that has seen an uptick in squatter cases being taken to court in recent years, according to a report. A report by the Pacific Legal Foundation found an upward trend in squatter cases being brought to court beginning in 2019. The number of these cases in Georgia rose from three in 2017 to 50 in 2021. In 2023, there were 198 civil court cases involving squatting in the Peach State, according to the report.
Since this law was passed, it's likely more squatter cases will be brought to court in the state. 'More people may go that route to try and remove the squatter, because it's so much faster now and so much easier now to do that,' Sweetland said. If you are a homeowner who has a squatter living on your property, you should call a real estate attorney. Jerron Kelley, partner at Kelley & Grant P.A.
