(The Center Square) – Squatters in North Carolina could be evicted within 48 hours of a complaint by the property owner under a bill that was approved Wednesday by the Judiciary Committee in the House of Representatives.

House Bill 984 is sponsored by Rep. John Bradford, R-Mecklenburg County, a property management software company owner. The legislation must clear the committes for finance and rules before it can reach the full chamber.
