NEW YORK, May 19 (UPI) -- Flash Shelton has figured out a way to remove people from homes they have no legal or financial rights to -- he and his team out-squat them.

In the new docu-series, Squatters, airing Tuesdays on A&E, Shelton demonstrates the tactics he uses to resolve tense situations and turn property back over to its lawful owners.

Once Shelton's team is hired, they secure a short-term lease for themselves from the owners, then move in with the squatters, making them feel awkward or reasoning with them until they agree to leave.

"They all, generally, have this entitlement and when they talk to you, they truly believe that it is their right to the property," Shelton told UPI in a recent Zoom interview.
