BOCA RATON, Fla. (WSVN) -- Residents from a South Florida neighborhood are furious after discovering a squatter living in a million dollar mansion, and officials say they can't do anything about it because he is not committing a crime.
A $2.4 million Boca Raton mansion is in foreclosure and is up for sale. According to police, a man is living inside the home free of charge. "I don't think anyone has really seen him," said neighbor Gary Pollack. "I know we've had the police here a number of occasions."
Andre Barbosa has been squatting in the home and has been posting pictures on Facebook
Bank of America foreclosed the home last July. Soon after, the 23-year-old moved into the home using a loophole called adverse possession, which allows someone to move in. As long as you maintain the home and pay the taxes for seven years, the home is yours to keep.

F- Adverse possession isn't quite as simple as moving in and paying taxes. Btw, let's see if he pays the taxes. My guess is they're pretty high.
The neighbors may not be able to do anything about it, but the actual homeowner can. In this case, Bank of America, can file a trespass action against him. Until someone from the bank comes and does anything though, he can stay.
