ROANOKE, Texas – A man who gained notoriety for claiming he can live in a $340,000 Texas house for $16 has been ordered to vacate the home by next Monday.
Kenneth Robinson says he filed an "affidavit of adverse possession" that gives him the right to live in the empty foreclosed home. He's spoken to law school students and created a website to show others how to do the same.
But a Denton County judge ruled Monday that lienholder Bank of America can force Robinson to leave on Feb. 13.
The bank says it foreclosed on the house last month and wants the 51-year-old Robinson out. A real estate lawyer says Robinson and others have misinterpreted what adverse possession means.
Prosecutors are cracking down on others seeking to emulate Robinson.
