Read this on another site today: HB621 was passed unanimously by the FL legislature yesterday. The bill gives property owners a clear way to have squatters immediately removed from their property. The bill also makes intentional destruction of the property in excess of $1000 a second degree felony, and making false claims in writing (e.g. false leases or deeds) a first degree misdemeanor. The property owner needs to file a complaint with an affidavit of ownership to the sheriff who will be authorized to remove the occupiers immediately. The affidavit the owner supplies has conditions the owner must affirm to make sure the process isn't abused for something like evicting tenants. It is specifically limited to removing squatters.
Just needs DeSantis to sign, which is a given, and it takes effect on 7/1. One more reason making FL a less desirable location for illegals, and grifters in general.
Nice to see a state government with some common sense.

Why did they wait until 7/1? They should have made it effective immediately. That delay will cost many homeowners a lot of money.

Of course, there's a simple alternative. Make sure the property is well insured and have an "accident" with a BBQ grill. It's no fun squatting in a pile of ashes!

That sounds GOOD.
I can envision a lot more squatters invading near future. Any vacant home. 25 million illegals, bound to be many with that mindset
In my Tennessee, it’s not uncommon to have a vacated farm house every 3-4 miles on a country road. Something not totally dilapidated but not lived in for 5 years. Something with a old metal roof, 30 yrs wanting for paint, etc. some foreigners would gladly squat in that vs a tent

Theres not much room for 25 million uninvited guests.

That is excellent. Our nation's laws have been bent decidedly against legitimate property owners in these cases for far too long.

If they'll just stroll across the border, what makes anyone think they won't squat in somebody's property.

One of our churches had a large well equipped playground. Included in the structures was a castle/fort with an elevated watchtower.' One day the secretary noticed that the windows in the tower had been covered up. She and the janitor investigated and found a couple migrants had set up housekeeping there and had gone so far as to insulate the place with cardboard and foam rubber.

👍 It’s about time that the property owners got a little protection! I guess that it would have been expecting a bit much to have had a law passed that the owner could simply shoot the trespassing SOB’s! memtb

It would be a shame for all the old, empty houses to burn down, just to head off the rising tide.

I suspect it’s similar to Virginia, where any changes enacted by the Legislative take effect on July 1st every year. This allows the public and law enforcement to be informed and educated regarding the new laws, before they become law.

Rock Chuck, do you know if Idaho has a law forbidding "squatters?"

What's with that 25 million figure? That's likely just the invaders over the last 3 years, when there were already up to 40 million prior illegals in the US.
We need a national cleansing.
