BREAKING NEWS: DeSantis Signs Into Law Hardline Property Rights Bill To Crack Down On Squatters

[@cgarcia4487]

Remember if your state allows this nonsense florida has shown it’s easy to address. If the problem continues it’s because your local leaders want it too.

[@robertrobert7924]

That is because they are lawyers who make money from this SCAM.

[@learnbyheart7]

But why should we need a law for that....we have a Deed of Ownership that's why we pay taxes .

[@Tenebarum]

​@learnbyheart7 there used to be a squatters rights law decades ago because of abandoned property. No one was paying taxes on the property, and if you could live there and improve it, you could gain rights. That law is no longer necessary in any way. The squatters are taking over empty but not abandoned properties. A lot of people got squatters rights in the keys, when not many people wanted to live there.

[@robertrobert7924]

@@learnbyheart7 Because politicians have made Squatters Rights Laws that must be repealed.

[@SaxonSavage]

This law does not criminalize "squatting". They are still getting away with burglary scott free !! This does nothing to put "squatters" in jail. DeSantis failed to go far enough as usual !!

[@TROOPERfarcry]

They call them "squatters" but they're just thieves.

[@mb9662]

They call them squatters but they refused to pay rent when the landlord lets the property fall into disrepair

[@TROOPERfarcry]

@@mb9662 Don't care. Just because the landlord refuses to fix the dish-washer, or a ceiling fan, that doesn't make the property _BELONG_ to the tenet. It means that the civil contract between the two is broken, and the renter can move out. Obviously you're a thief yourself, and so you need the mental gymnastics you've just exhibited in order to re-define your own theft. Have you tried being honest? Or hard work? Apparently not.

[@mb9662]

@@TROOPERfarcry obviously you’ve considered everything and have concluded that the owner/landlord is always right.

[@BushidoBasher]

Well yeah, if the owner or landlord owns the property, yes. They are always right.

[@TROOPERfarcry]

@@mb9662 I understand that 'thinking' isn't your strong suit, but maybe if I use small enough words you'll grasp it? A renter and a landlord enter into an agreement: the landlord will provide these services, and in exchange, the renter will pay. If one of them fails to uphold their end of the bargain, then the deal is dissolved. Your idea of "it's over, so I guess I don't have to pay anymore" is built on pure, abject ignorance. I probably used too many words, your sense of permanent-victimhood and TikTok brain means you just don't have the reasoning _OR_ attention-span for an actual conversation. Not that it matters anyway, because the bigger issue is people who squat an "abandoned property", and then claim that it belongs to them. That has *nothing* to do with landlords or rent or a ceiling-fan switch that isn't reliable.

[@steve-o2375]

If you leave your home and it's locked and somebody breaks in why aren't they charged with breaking and entering

[@forevergogo]

They typically present a fake lease. And sometimes they Are innocent, they got conned by someone who broke in and rented it out.

[@supernova743]

The obvious answer is yes. The nuanced answer is that not everyone knows theyre breaking and entering. That may sound ludicrous but some are being fooled and some have actual leases that the landlord isnt honoring any more. Thats why its usually dealt with civilly if papers are presented.

[@Gamble661]

Call BS to the two previous responses here. Been in law enforcement for decades and what they're saying is a tiny portion of the problem. The majority of squatters know exactly what they're doing and that it will take months to remove them. They then just go and do it somewhere else. There is no "nuance" involved, you either legally own the property or you don't, something that can be determined in a day, not months. This is exactly the kind of thinking that enables these people and perpetuates the problem, hopefully it never happens to you.

[@cheryldurham3560]

The creeps change the locks and put a new one on so they have the keys. When the owner shows up they cannot get in.

[@brendadickenson3547]

Perhaps you get a broken !eg, have heart attack and need rehab, do you want to finally get to go home and find squatters in there and now it is too bad, you we're gone 6 weeks. And your neighbors are checking on you as they never had to. Ex: when mom fell and broke her hip and my brother came from out of state. . neighbors questioned who he was and why was he going in her house as they knew she was in rehab.

So why can't we ask those who lead our country to accept the grim reality we live in and find a silver lining in these nation wide problems and fix them, spending money where it should be is more important than what we already have, the US dollar is not some international good, it's our currency we use within the borders.

@@bluecat2991 I agree. Some houses may have been left empty by the owners for one reason or another--like their age or the age of the building. Then the property becomes an inheritance after several years and the new owners find out some homeless people have taken it over. Now, the homeless may not have been bad people. I know it would be rare for them to be good people, but that is why it shouldn't be mandatory jail time. Good people may have even been trying to improve the property as they made it their home. That wouldn't require restitution and if they were bad people, I doubt they'd have the funds for restitution. Just getting the intruders off the property would be my main concern. And anyone who owns property should have insurance on it to take care of issues associated with intruders. If the property was in good condition and the intruders had been trying to improve it, I might consider letting them rent it from me if I had no other plans for it. A rare situation to be sure, but I think this law would allow for leniency by the home owner and the law.

Housing is a human right. Another attack on renters during a decades-long housing crisis which was only worsened by Airbnb, Boomer retirements and the pandemic. It's like the failing crapitalist government still hasn't figured out the pitchforks are coming. Anyone that has ever picked up a history book knows how that works.

[@dodgek5270]

Let me explain why the loophole exists. It has to be amended because it's being abused but primarily the intent was to protect the disadvantage people who usually are tenants. Where a living space is considered vital unlike having a car etc. Because abusive landlords could technically suddenly rip off your contract and call the police and have you thrown out in winter with your kids. Basically the idea is simple. Have the civil court settle it so it goes thru proper eviction procedures and tenants won't just suddenly get throw out in the street. Then the ahole squatters came to abuse it. Actually if the procedure was very fast like 1 week max in court. This wouldn't be an issue also. There should be tenants rights and expedited squatters complain committee.

Gov Hochul, this bill in Florida would require those on probation to either be on a lease or be charged on a probation violation charge in addition to squatting. I witnessed an entire family move out of an apartment due to threats from a squatter. And also, no good cause eviction laws shall pass. The eviction moratorium was a preview of good cause eviction laws.

This is what a leader is supposed to do. You saw an issue (criminal opportunistic squatters, antiquated law) for those who put you in office and you immediately solve the citizens problem. Thank you Florida Gov DeSantis. Squatting criminals should be charged with a FELONY and minimum one year jail time. EVERY other Governor must immediately do the same. Legal Homeowners WHO pay the taxes to run your cities are dying defending their legal property and others are going to jail. Many have had to pay thousands of dollars in legal and repair bills. Every Mayor, Senator, Representative MUST take note and take immediate action to protect the mom and pop homeowner. Follow Florida's LEAD. This is needed in England and Ireland as same issue with the squatting Albanians and Syrians now.

It is actually not squatters rights in California that make owning property such a pain, it is the landlord-tenant laws that are insane in California. Squatters rights take 5 years to go into affect in California, so it is not a huge issue. However, landlord tenant laws require 30 days before the tenant, who has maybe paid rent once, now has at least 6 months to live in your property and you'll need a lawyer, and you can't collect rent, nor can you evict or not renew the lease to make improvements. It is insane.
