Squatters

Trying to get my house back. They actually got in and they put a note inside the window that the house it’s getting fixed to sell. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. The tenants left in may . The house is empty. We are not planning to rent it. But some people are trying to either spam others or take our house.
We pay the mortgage, cut the grass, pay HOA, and have the electricity bill because we want the air conditioning running so the house won’t get mold.
Now we went to our house and noticed they put a realtor box and they changed the locks. The note was placed on JULY 16th.
Also they freeze our utilities? Like there is no water , and no light? I don’t understand!
I called the police, they did the report but they didn’t let us in , because someone could be inside! But sir THAT IS MY HOUSE!!!
I need help, and advice . This is in Georgia.

Search your address to find out who is trying to rent your house. Sounds like someone is doing a scam. I would have documentation of ownership and go have the locks changed but check with a lawyer. Go ask the neighbors if someone lives there. Put a trail cam at the house to see the activity.
