LETTER: Squatter story could have been avoided

After squatters took implicit homes during what I telephone the “Las Vegas Real Estate Apocalypse,” the Legislature passed large anti-squatting authorities successful May 2015. One of the measures successful Assembly Bill 386 required landlords to notarize their leases.

Your July 19 communicative connected 1 homeowner’s acquisition with squatters successful Las Vegas exemplifies why. Anyone tin people a lease. But the lone valid Nevada leases are ones notarized with the landlord’s signature.

Sheriff Kevin McMahill should amended Metro officers astir this. If the lease the squatters successful the communicative presented wasn’t notarized, it was intelligibly fake. End of story. I judge the landlord inactive has to legally evict them.
