• New Maryland squatter law takes effect, days after owner pays thousands (newsbreak.com) — A recent squatter dispute at an Essex home, where the owner paid thousands in a "cash for keys" deal, helped spotlight problems with fake leases in Maryland. Just days later, a new state law took effect making counterfeit leases a felony, with tougher penalties for repeat offenders and the goal of deterring similar situations for Essex and other property owners.
