From reading some of the comments posted, it appears that they did know each other previously, and this "squatter" rented the house from her, along with others. Is this a multi-family flat? I couldn't tell, but it seems there were multiple tenants who were all evicted because of the house failing inspection. Then this squatter returned after the house sat empty for whatever amount of time, and she began to fix it up and claim it for herself.
Still bizarre. But at least not as bizarre as we assumed. I still wouldn't be sleeping in there with my baby, and this squatter still has no rights to that house, no matter how lax the owner might have been in taking care of her business.
