A two-bedroom home on Candlewick Street sat empty for years after the owner died and then Burger arrived in July, neighbor Robert Hall said. I knew she didnt belong there, Hall said.

The Volusia County Sheriffs Office arrested Burger, 68, on charges including fraud and forgery on July 17.

Officials in Deltona, where thousands of homes have fallen into foreclosure, have found at least four instances where its water department started service for suspected squatters. The City Commission recently approved a rental verification ordinance designed, in part, to prevent that.

Some Volusia property managers say squatting has become an ongoing problem, and while they are generally loathe to see more regulations on landlords, they say a rental verification process, like the one in Deltona, is needed.

So far this year, Burger showed up in two separate sheriffs reports five months apart.

Investigators said two movers complained in February about Burger after they carried all of her belongings from a home on Yellowbird Avenue into a U-Haul, drove it to another home and then were asked to break into the home for her.

The movers refused, then asked to be paid.

Burger led them around town, paused at one intersection, then whipped a u-turn and drove at a high rate of speed before eventually telling the movers by phone she wouldnt be paying them, the report states.

Investigators discovered she had filed for adverse possession a legal maneuver whereby squatters can try to take possession of unclaimed property after seven years on the Yellowbird Avenue home. They told her she was under criminal investigation for staying in the home and removing items from it that likely did not belong to her, a sheriffs report states.

Offered for sale through The Stewart Team of Conway, the home at 1315 Tolkien Drive is a spacious 2,193 square feet, which includes four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. This home has modern design features (such as under counter lighting and built-ins) with elegant, classic touches mixed in (such as the wood inlaid design in the hardwood flooring of the formal dining room). Also, the owners just installed brand new carpet in the bedrooms. A great finishing touch is the use of thick crown molding on the ceiling and door facings.

Features here include hardwood floors, a corner fireplace with brick faade and the ability to create separate seating areas to be used for conversation, playing games or watching television.

The kitchen exudes warmth and a feeling of welcome, thanks largely to the dark stained cabinets and granite countertops in nice neutral tones. The hardwood floors continue in this space, and custom lighting adds to the charm. Extra storage is available in the nice-sized pantry. Updated appliances convey with the home, including a smooth-top range. A breakfast nook overlooking the back yard is adjacent to the kitchen and ready for family meals.

HOMES: 1315 Tolien Drive, Conway

A home warranty is often a feature in the sale of a home. In that scenario, the seller typically pays a few hundred dollars for a one-year warranty covering the home's major fixtures such as the furnace, water heater and kitchen appliances. This gives the buyer some protection during that first year of ownership knowing that if something major breaks down it will be covered. Many homeowners choose to continue paying an annual premium rather than risk bearing the full replacement cost of a major item.

Although technically not insurance, warranties are very similar in that the homeowner is paying an up-front fee to protect against a potentially huge replacement cost. If nothing breaks during the coverage period, the customer may in hindsight feel the fee was a waste of money, but that's what managing risk is all about. Are you financially prepared to replace major components as they are needed, or would you rather pay a set amount per year whether something breaks or not?

One important difference between insurance and a warranty is that the homeowner must go through the warranty company to arrange for service, and this can be another point where a customer might be dissatisfied. Home warranty companies establish relationships with service providers in the areas for which they provide coverage. So whether customers are satisfied with the warranty company depends in large part on whether they are satisfied with the repairmen whom the warranty company has hired.

Even though home warranties aren't considered insurance, the companies that sell them are typically regulated by each state's department of insurance. According to the Service Contract Industry Council, 32 states require home warranty companies to register or obtain a license with that state's department of insurance. This state agency is responsible for licensing the entity, examines the company for compliance of applicable laws regarding home warranty services and monitors the financial condition of the company for the protection of their clients.

What's covered?

Mosthome warranty companies offer a variety of plans, each providing different levels of coverage, so be sure to read the details of any contract before buying. Even if you choose to renew the contract from year-to-year, double-check the details of your plan because coverage can change annually. Here is a general idea of what a homeowner can expect to find in each tier of service:
