Desantis cracks down on Squatters in Florida

It's for sure the POS liberal governors of NY and NJ won't be following DeSantis's example. They are rolling out the red carpet for invading criminals and terrorists, and giving the middle finger to American citizens. 😠

There have been more than a few nightmare stories for home owners in certain states.

Under HB 621, a property owner can request law enforcement to immediately remove a squatter from their property if the following conditions are met:

The individual has unlawfully entered and remains on the property;

The individual has been directed to leave the property by the owner but has not done so;

The individual is not a current or former tenant in a legal dispute.

In Florida, it will be quick and simple to reclaim your home from squatters, avoiding costly delays, litigation, and missed rents.

HB 621 also creates harsh penalties for those engaged in squatting and for those who encourage squatting and teach others the scam. The bill makes it:

A first-degree misdemeanor for making a false statement in writing to obtain real property or for knowingly and willfully presenting a falsified document conveying property rights;
A second-degree felony for any person who unlawfully occupies or trespasses in a residential dwelling and who intentionally causes $1,000 or more in damages; and
A first-degree felony for knowingly advertising the sale or rent of a residential property without legal authority or ownership

There are now companies that help homeowners. They have the homeowners give THEM
a lease for the property, and they go to the house and enter the same way the squatters
enter, and show them the lease and make the squatters call the police. Now the squatters
have to prove their case.

Desantis is using common sense and not afraid to rock the boat. I hope he stays in politics.

Its a horrible idea.

Now u can label and dismiss me

Maybe SWeeps are too goody 2 shoes to understand the GOLDEN RULE

his mother didn't like him best.

Squatters deserve to be squatted in prison.

Good
