Pros:

+ Less likely to be found than anywhere else if it's properly abandoned. Won't be interrupted by house cleaning.

+ Relatively easy to find one

+ Cheaper than a motel or hotel


Cons:

- Runs the risk of being called in for tresspassing.

- May not have utilities if it has been abandoned long enough - I'd like to at least have electricity, and ideally running water (you might be able to find an unoccupied house for sale online that still has utilities hooked up).

- Might not be discovered for a long time if no note is left, which could be a problem.

For cons

Trespassing comes with a warning so you are good, you ain't going to jail

You gonna ctb anyways, why you need utilities

You can send a scheduled message to your loved ones so your body will be discovered soon

So no cons, I would say!

For myself, I absolutely need electricity and would prefer to have running water when I go. Again though, there might be workarounds for these - you may he able to find a listing for a house that still has utilities online.

Why you want electricity and running water to do ctb in a abandon house , it is abandoned for a reason

House with utilities are not abandoned house, if you thinking about some house which is listed for renting and buying, don't do that

Those houses are always said to have an eye on by the neighbors!

To see and to feel comfortable in? Running water to keep clean in.

People will have an eye on listed houses, for sure you will be caught, those are not abandoned houses

How long you gonna stay in that house ?

Your best bet is cheap motel
Who says decrepit houses are up on listings?
Your best bet is cheap motel

Still need money for that, clearly.

Person mentioned before that find a listing so listed houses are not abandoned
Yeah, if they're set on abandoned houses, better make sure it's completely decrepit too. Any chances the place is still watched or listed is just asking for complications.

Please don't ctb in someone's for-sale house.

Even though the house is "unoccupied," it is still someone's home. The owners may be unable to sell their home due to the ctb stigma, or they may be forced to re-list at a significant price drop.

Motels provide power and water. Since it's not a residential property, it's socially acceptable.


If you don't have a place, go to the Dollar Store and get some water jugs and candles, then head to the woods.

If you want to be located, mail a letter or text timed messages to the police with your whereabouts.
