Demand For "Squatter King Removal" Erupts As Maryland's Left-Wing Housing Utopia Backfires
A Baltimore-area contractor operating under the names "Squatter King Removal" and/or "Eviction King" has emerged as one of the premier, go-to property recovery services. This reflects a growing enforcement gap in Maryland, a one-party-ruled state controlled by the Democratic Party.
