How much does it cost to get rid of squatters?
Can you tell me how much the court and legal fees would cost to get squatters of a house you own? They are not paying rent or anything.

I practice landlord-tenant law in NJ, so our prices here might be a bit higher than yours; that said, filing fees generally run around $125-$150, while the typical legal fees would be another $1,000 to $1,500, though that will go up if the squatters fight aggressively (e.g. appeal).
