Your kidding right?

Mulege is still the wild west and the ministerial publico office there takes the highest bid offered. Ask anyone who has lived there and done business there. There are some Mexicans in Mulege that can get away with anything and have a get out of jail card because of who they are and who they are related to.
These burned out folks have no hope of justice. Besides, only palapas burn and concrete does not.

I dont know what the law is


in mexico but as just about everywhere else they probably do have a squatters law.

And I do know how it works in the PI, it only takes one year on unused land and you cannot get em off, so it leaves the landowners no choice.

But they have the perfect solution, the landowner hires local militia, they go to said property at 4 in the morning, roust everybody, give em 5 minutes to be gone or stay there forever, then they torch it.

Problem solved, cased closed.




\"take what you can, give nothing back!\"

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.\'

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

We can have no \"50-50\" allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.

Bruce: This is from http://www.answers.com/topic/squatting-2.
Mexico squatters are known as paracaidistas (that is, paratroopers, because they "drop" themselves mostly at unoccupied lands), and it is a common practice in large cities. Since the most valuable real property is located near the downtowns of the cities, the paracaidistas usually establish slums at unoccupied lands at the outskirts of the cities. Since Mexican laws establish that an individual may take legal possession of a property after 5 years of peaceful occupation, many paracaidistas establish themselves with the hope that the legitimate owner will not discover them and expel them before 5 years. Large extensions of many Mexican cities were established originally as squats (for example, Neza City, in Mexico City).

I have no idea how accurate this is but I have read the same thing in 5 or 6 web sites so far. From what I've been able to discern, it's hard to legally get rid of someone who is occupying your land but it's also hard for the squatters to get a legal right to re-occupy the land once they've been removed. Hence - it's way better for the land owner to just make life unbearable so the Castros leave (oh - sorry ESL, slipped out).:rolleyes:
I ran across a web site that told Mexican property owners to wait until the deadbeats and/or squaters leave the premises, change the locks and make sure the utilities are in the owners name. They seemed to indicate that this was on rather thin legal ice but often worked. I find it facinating what people will do when the legal system is very difficult to access. Lots of grey areas open up are soon accepted as the way to do things. I think the English system is better than the Roman system of law but most of Europe and all of South America use the roman system. 6 million coyotes can't be wrong.

This one's on the house tsgarcia69 this dose not work when the land owner is renting you the land and paying all the taxes. if he cancels your lease you have 3 months to leave if your lease expires you have 30 days after he gives you notice. if you try to homestead you will be sorry.:bounce:

do you really think the laws you posted apply in this case or were you posting them for some other thread:lol:

Well, for one thing, you just changed the criteria. In the case which is the subject of this thread, the landowner was no longer renting the land to those who possessed it, in fact, it may not even be the same land owner. For seconds, there probably was no written lease, just a handshake deal with monthly payments. And for thirds, I would like you to be a good fellow and post the source of your information, chapter and verse, just like I did for you.

Unless, of course, that is just some BS?

Jim,

Could you take a picture of Santispac as well on your way back to Pasada from Punta Arena.
I have not seen it for some time and I am curious about the changes there.
Thanks

Some may be jumping the gun a little on thinking that this is a landlord/tenet dispute...
This could be some vandals out having a good ole time...
This could be...if some of the beach dwellers had insurance...what some call ***ish lighting, to recover some of their future loses...
Or it could be, as some have stated a landlord/ tenet dispute because of the pending sale of the property.

I went out and took some fotos and have a look around,,,there did not look as if anything had been taken or disturbed since the fire...

sorry - the dues support our lobby efforts


in Mexico city which costs big $$$$ so no free lurking without joining up. the site publishes all kinds of useful current info to pilots and travelers that might not be available elsewhere. too many were getting data but never contributing $$s by joining or buying guides so Jefe closed it to non members this year with the full support of the members. there are several who watch this space that are members of BBP and some are not pilots.

$49 a year is one starbucks a month. or a margarita if you so choose.:lol::lol::light: the trip reports found there are unique and describe incredible adventures to all parts of mexico and centro amerika.:coolup:
