Frequently asked — transient problem
Frequently asked questions
Can security force a transient to move?+
No private actor can forcibly remove a person. Stormhammer's role is to post lawful notice, document the timeline, coordinate DHA outreach, and escalate to SPD when criminal conduct is confirmed — protecting the property and the person at the same time.
How long until the transient problem resolves?+
Documented patrol presence at randomized hours typically resolves a single-property transient pattern in 2–4 weeks. Severe / multi-person encampments take 4–8 weeks with DHA outreach + SPD coordination.
