Below is an excerpt from this site that the Good Wife sent to me today. What can I say about this? Nothing, I'm speechless... for now.
From NewsOfTheWerd:
Homeowners are often startled to find that, in many states, if they give someone permission to stay with them for a while, and that guest eventually overstays his welcome, the homeowner can no longer easily eject the guest, or even have a sheriff do it, but rather must go through formal and lengthy eviction procedures. This issue surfaced most recently in Potomac, Md., when a retired social worker took in a down-on-her-luck, 39-year-old woman who, after a series of testy exchanges between the two, repeatedly refused to leave, feeling immune from eviction until the law had run its course. In August, according to police, the guest, Susan L. Sachs, was charged with murdering her host. [Washington Post, 8-26-04]
Amazing how laws meant to protect people can be twisted by people who are not worth protecting.
