The thread is about squatters.

I did not hear about this? This would be much quicker then the eviction process.

I think the bill passed in the Senate, but it has not yet passed in the House, so it is not a statute. It is Florida House Bill 621.

Found it! It is not law yet (that is why it is not in the statutes) It is a House Bill. It goes into effect July 1, 2024--and it cuts out all the mischief from squatters who generate and print out a fake lease and then demand to be evicted...long overdue and welcomed change to the statute.

There are squatters, but mostly in the new build areas.

You’re talking apple and oranges. Squatters vs home invasion. Read the posts closer

Oh I don’t know if I would let a squatter move into your home in TV’s I really don’t think that’ll go over well there. But maybe you’re not talking about TV’s. Are you considering an illegal as a squatter. I would think about that very hard!

I don't understand your post. No one would allow a squatter to move into their house. Most people want to get rid of squatters.

I don't need no steenkin' squatter hunter.... I can make someone's life so miserable to want to move out. Just ask my ex husband.

I loved your response. My big laugh for the day.

Why do we even have this problem ? Seems like criminals have all the rights.
