A Houston woman<\/a> claims she has been locked out of her own property by squatters who changed the locks, drew up a fake lease, and now refuse to leave.<\/p>\n

“They locked me out of my own property,” Linda Giang told ABC 13 Houston<\/u><\/a> this week. “That\u2019s crazy.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Giang said she went to check on a property that had been renting out for $3,600 a month after she received a letter from the local homeowners association asking her to clear out leaves on her driveway.<\/p>\n

When she arrived, she found trespassers living in the home with a “contract” they say another landlord who was not Giang or her husband.<\/p>\n

“I had the keys with me and walked in and discovered a family of five living in there. And she says she has a lease contract and actually emailed me the lease contract.”<\/p>\n

Giang said the squatters are living on air mattresses in the home and have changed the locks twice since being discovered.<\/p>\n

“They broke into my house, they\u2019re trespassing,” Giang said. “That should be a criminal trespass<\/a>. They\u2019re violating my privacy. This is my property.”<\/p>\n

The woman living in the home, identified as Tamisha Holmes-Bey, claims she paid $6,000 to a realtor to live in the home after moving out from California to “start a new life.”<\/p>\n

The <\/a>Daily Mail reported<\/a> that public records show she has been in Texas for years and has been evicted several times.<\/p>\n

Houston police officers<\/a> were spotted on the scene but an arrest was not made after they determined it was a civil matter that had to be resolved in courts similar to many other squatter situations that have popped up across the country<\/a> in recent months.<\/p>\n

Giang told the outlet she hopes police will reconsider their classification of her complaint.<\/p>\n

“What regulations (are) there to protect homeowners from this kind of thing happening?” Giang said. “I never knew this kind of thing could happen.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
