Why Squatter Cleanouts Are Different

Squatter situations are not standard evictions. The occupant had no lease, often occupied the property for months or years without maintenance, and frequently caused significantly more damage than a departing tenant. Here's what we typically find:

  • Extensive property damage — holes in walls, removed fixtures, damaged plumbing, stripped copper
  • Accumulated trash and debris — months of garbage that was never collected
  • Biohazard conditions — no functioning plumbing means human waste, mold, pest infestation
  • Abandoned belongings mixed with stolen property — documentation is critical for police reports
  • Modified locks and entry points — our locksmith partner handles re-securing the property

The Colorado Legal Framework

Colorado streamlined the squatter eviction process with SB 18-015. The process still requires a writ of restitution and sheriff execution — landlords cannot self-help remove squatters. Here's how our service fits:

  • Writ of restitution obtained — through unlawful detainer action, same as tenant eviction
  • Sheriff posts notice — squatter has 48 hours to vacate voluntarily
  • Sheriff returns to execute — physically removes squatter if still present
  • Our crew enters immediately — we stage at the property and begin clearance the moment the sheriff transfers possession
  • Full documentation — timestamped photos of damage, items found, property condition. Critical for insurance claims and adverse possession defense

Squatter Cleanout FAQ

How is squatter cleanout different from tenant eviction cleanout?
Squatter situations typically involve more damage — no maintenance during occupation, potential biohazard, modified locks, and destroyed fixtures. The legal process is the same (writ of restitution), but the cleanout scope is usually larger and may require biohazard assessment before we can start.
Can I remove a squatter myself in Colorado?
No. Colorado law requires a court order (writ of restitution) and sheriff execution to remove any occupant, including squatters. Self-help eviction is illegal and exposes you to criminal charges. SB 18-015 streamlined the process but did not eliminate the court requirement.
What if there's biohazard contamination?
We assess during initial walkthrough. If certified biohazard remediation is required (human waste, meth contamination, needles), we refer to our vetted biohazard partner. After they clear and certify the space, we return for the junk removal and cleanout. We do not perform biohazard remediation ourselves.
Do you provide documentation for insurance claims?
Yes. Every squatter cleanout includes timestamped photos documenting all damage, an itemized removal log, and a complete PDF package. This documentation is formatted for insurance claims, police reports, and court filings. Delivered same-day.
What if we find stolen property during cleanout?
We document everything with timestamped photos before touching anything. If items appear potentially stolen (electronics with serial numbers, identifiable property belonging to others), we stop, document, and notify law enforcement. Our crew never disposes of items that may be evidence.
How fast can you respond?
Same-day for scheduled sheriff executions — we stage our crew beforehand. For emergency calls after the sheriff has already left, we dispatch within 45-90 minutes. Squatter cleanouts are priority jobs.
Can you re-secure the property after the squatter is removed?
Yes — through our Eviction Day Bundle. Our locksmith partner rekeys all locks ($75 first door, $19/rekey) and secures any compromised entry points. We coordinate this during the same visit as the cleanout.
What about adverse possession concerns?
Our documentation proves the property was reclaimed, cleared, and maintained by the rightful owner — which is essential for blocking adverse possession claims. Timestamped photos showing the property was cleared and secured on a specific date create a legal record of your ownership assertion.
