Yes I am serious.

I have a squatter in the house next to me. He does not own the home and is just squatting their with his family. His roof is leaking and ruining my home. My wife talked to the squatter and he said I was going to fix it but after we moved in we decided their are too many problems with the house so I'm not putting a dime into it. He then told her if we paid for the supplies he would patch it. The squatter is a complete scumbag and he would probably sell the supplies to support his habit and he has no idea what he is doing.

My plan is to ask the homeowner my old neighbor who is still the legal owner of the home for permission to patch his roof. I don't think squatter will like me on his roof so will I have a problem? Can he stop me from being on the roof he does not own just because he is a resident? Will he legally be able to shoot me under the Castle Doctrine? What if I fall through his roof and end up inside the home?

Any suggestions? I can't just let it keep leaking into my home.
