    Thank you Governor DeSantis; hope other states follow suit.😊
  • Squatters are - - "Criminals". They should all be charged with breaking and entering. If they have any kind of weapons the charges need to be a felony. Shalom

    A cop was recetly killed in my city by a squatter that was getting evicted. Needs to be federal law that squatter's should not have rights!
  • Thank you Governor DeSantis for looking out for the taxpayers of Florida..
  • @captraykelly
    Great new law. Kudos to the Representatives that voted for this
  • @ellywitmer1584
    What the hell ever happened to plain Breaking & Entering? That's illegal
  • @tams.114
    This law should be in every state!
  • @SatoriSoul
    Squatters deserve to have their names and likenesses posted to a "Squatters Registry," giving Landlords another tool for deciding on a new tenant.

    It's not even the squatting that really hurts, it's the thousands of dollars of destruction of property when they are being evicted after months of free living. It's like adding salt to a wound.
  • I Don't get it. THIS IS GRAND LARCENY. CAUGHT RED HANDED WITH THE GOODS. PUT THEM IN PRISON. This should not be a game of tag.
  • @terry_willis
    If somebody enters your unoccupied car, can he/she claim it is their car?? How is a house any different?
  • @marzbarz1849
    This should be a law at the Federal level and every State should have it!
  • So if I grab your purse and hold it tight and say "Mine, mine, mine," does it legally become...my purse? Same logic.
  • @VonBluesman
    I will never understand how a person thinks they can just move in and claim someone else’s property that they worked so hard for.
  • @donnam5060
    A lease not issued by the owner or their agent shouldnt be considered valid, and is proof of nothing but squatting.
  • Governor Abbott, we’re looking at you. Time to deal with the ridiculous laws that favor squatters in Texas
  • If hotels can call the police to get people out And arrested, so too should a homeowner be able to just call the police and have the squatters removed, Immediately!!!
