Man who claimed Dallas home for $16 told to leave


ROANOKE, Texas — A man who gained notoriety for claiming he can live in a $340,000 suburban Dallas 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 in Flower Mound. He's spoken to law school students and created a website, http://16dollarhouse.com .

But Denton County Justice of the Peace Jay Hand 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. And a real estate lawyer says Robinson and others have misinterpreted what adverse possession means.

Prosecutors also are cracking down on others seeking to emulate Robinson.

Kinda saw that coming. Court decided to make an example out of the guy who was basically trying to show off. Banks have big money and I'm sure spent a lot of it to set this example so others won't try to follow suit.

I wonder how many folks got away with this and were smart enough to keep their mouths shut and got away with it

I don't know.

Yeah, the dude talks too much, but on the other hand, he spent the last few months living in a 340K crib, and spent 16 bucks.

How much did you shell out over the last few months? :lol:
