A HOMEOWNER who rented out her home to a mom and son has been left thousands of dollars out of pocket after the alleged squatter moved out.

Jessica and Colin Davis face having to fork out thousands on repair work inside their property following the ordeal.

She rented out their home in Rowlett, Texas – located around 20 miles from Dallas – via Zillow – as she was transferred to Florida for work.  

Jessica allowed the parent and her son, 17, to move into the home early as it appeared payments were going through before they failed.

That raised suspicions before the homeowner discovered links to an alleged serial squatter.

Jessica and Colin tried to get the suspected squatter evicted before they left the home, per Fox News Digital.

She was meant to get $2,850 a month in rent, as well as a monthly $300 for pool services.

Jessica said she didn’t receive any payments that were owed for three months, and the homeowner is facing a $1,500 water bill.

The suspected squatter appears to have moved out of the home, but Jessica and Colin will have to spend thousands on repairs.

Photos obtained by Fox News Digital showed bottles and soda cans left on the counter.

Jessica said there was rotten food everywhere, and claimed the suspected squatter brought in a cat.

She told Fox News Digital: “We can’t even have someone come in and professionally clean because we would have to get those hazmat cleaners because of all of the feces and urine.”

Meanwhile, Colin noticed a smell of cigarette smoke, and the rugs were soiled.

She revealed that she needed the money from the rent to pay her mortgage.

Jessica previously told CBS News that the couple didn’t want to sell their home so chose to rent it out.

A prospective tenant under the name Heather Schwab messaged Jessica about her home, but she claimed her name was actually Rayes Ruybal.

They reportedly told Jessica: “Oh no, that’s just my friend’s name. I was using her Zillow account.”

Jessica said that her records had come out clean as part of the initial vetting process.

She started researching her tenant after payments for the deposit and the first month’s rent failed.

Jessica started researching the name “Rayes Ruybal” and that brought up links to a 72-year-old person.

But they had a relative with a name that Jessica recognized – Heather Schwab.

But, Jessica discovered articles that revealed Schwab and her husband William had been evicted previously.

Schwab was arrested for felony theft after being evicted twice following a move to Colorado.

She was handed a six-year prison sentence in 2018 but was released after 16 months in 2020.

Prosecutors at the time branded Schwab a “serial squatter,” per The Denver Post.

Schwab spent two-and-a-half years on parole before returning to Texas.

The Schwabs have been accused of squatting in north Texas and have been evicted at least 20 times, per CBS.

Jessica said that she contacted the Dallas County district attorney who reportedly told her the case would be a civil one, not criminal.

Rowlett Police Department told Fox News Digital that it has opened an investigation into Schwab after she used false information and a family member’s social security number to pass background checks.

They said: “The Rowlett CID is currently in charge of this matter and is working closely with the District Attorney’s office to address this case comprehensively.

“While the eviction process is primarily a civil procedure, the CID is actively looking into this case to assess whether any criminal charges may be warranted based on the specific details involved.”

A Zillow spokesperson told CBS: “We prohibit any user from impersonating another person or operating under false pretenses; we take such behavior seriously and do not tolerate it on our platform.”

Fox News Digital reached out to a number that Davis said she used to contact Schwab, but the woman who answered denied being Schwab or knowing anyone by that name.
