Shameless squatters ordered out after homeowner was forced to live with them for months
When Adrian flew interstate to say goodbye to his dying mother, a family of squatters took over his home.
They've been freeloading all year. The police can't get them out so Adrian called A Current Affair.
"You're literally in his house rent free. He wants you guys out of his house. You've got your son here, your daughter here, your girlfriend's here," A Current Affair said confronting squatter Rob.
When Adrian went to Melbourne to say goodbye to his dying mother, Rob's family completely took over the property. Nine
"She's visiting," Rob replied, pointing to his girlfriend.
"It doesn't matter if she's visiting or staying, you're in his house, you need to leave, you need to let this man be," A Current Affair responded.
It turns out Rob is a convicted criminal.
He's put up curtains to create makeshift bedrooms and is even subleasing to strangers in the house.
With no rent coming in, Adrian's had to live with them in the house.
When he went to Melbourne to say goodbye to his dying mother, Rob's family completely took over the property.
"How do you feel knowing that your boyfriend here is bumming off a 66-year-old man?" A Current Affair asked Rob's girlfriend hiding her face with a hoodie.
"I will be leaving once I get my shit sorted," Rob answered.
Rob's recently been arrested and taken into custody on stealing and driving while unlicenced charges.
So Adrian went to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal and Rob's finally been ordered out.
"I don't think it's sort of soaked in yet but yeah, it's absolutely fantastic," Adrian smiled.
Rob and his family have two weeks to leave. Nine
It was granted because Adrian's under serious financial hardship and is behind on his mortgage.
"The bank would have the right to foreclose at any time really," Adrian admitted.
So Rob's got two weeks to be out.
"Just get out of my house. Get you and your family and all your friends, get out of the house. I never want to see you again," Adrian said.
If Rob doesn't, the order will finally give police the powers to force him out.
"This is really life-changing. I mean, this is a big deal," Adrian told A Current Affair.
"The last year I've been tortured by them. I hadn't had one good night's sleep really in a year.
His living nightmare is finally coming to an end.
"I'm selling the house. I mean, I've owned it for 22 years and because of this situation, it has bad memories," Adrian said.
"Tomorrow is my birthday, so this is the best birthday present I could imagine."
We’d love to hear from you
