THIS family's dream home quickly turned into a house of horrors after the previous owners barricaded themselves in and refused to leave the property.<\/p>\n

Tracie and Myles Albert paid a whopping \u00a3455,000 for their dream home in California but were gobsmacked when the former owner used a coronavirus<\/span> loophole to set up camp for more than a year. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

In January 2020, the couple closed on their home, but previous owners Sam Boktor and his wife Miriam Khalil refused to leave the gorgeous property.<\/p>\n

After COVID-19, eviction proceedings in California<\/span> came to a standstill, leaving the Alberts without any help in getting the squatters out of their dream home.<\/p>\n

After months of frustration and no help from local government, the Alberts hired a locksmith in a desperate attempt to gain access to the home.<\/p>\n

And shocking cell phone video taken showed the squatters screaming as they confronted the Alberts – with squatter Boktor holding a tire iron.<\/p>\n

At one stage, the couple were shown on TV going up to their front door and knocking, only to have the man inside shouting, "get out of here, f**k you."<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you were in Arizona, if you were in Nevada, this wouldn't be a problem, you would just go take your house back,\u201d Myles Albert told\u00a0Fox 11 TV.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in California<\/span>, like our hands are tied, even though we're on your side, there's nothing we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The terrified couple left, and were forced to wait until months later, the squatting couple packed up their things and finally left the Albert's dream home.<\/p>\n

But the ordeal left a sour taste in the Albert's mouth, and they had considered selling their dream home.<\/p>\n

In April 2021, the couple were finally able to move into their dream home after more than a year of living through hell.<\/p>\n

Tracie teared up when she entered the home she and her family had worked so hard to call their own.<\/p>\n

They've hired cleaners and security to patrol the property after the squatters took over for months, but are finally within their forever home.<\/p>\n

Another similar nightmare tale happened to a British woman's dream Alicante villa, where squatters left more than \u00a350,000 in damage.<\/p>\n

Helen France<\/span> said\u00a0\u201cthe tenants from hell\u201d entered the home and wreaked havoc inside.<\/p>\n

Letting agents Compass Property Services helped Helen find the tenants originally \u2013 but said they also encountered road blocks as they attempted to take them out.<\/p>\n
