I’m sure the anti-DeSantis folks will chime in and say how horrible DeSantis is trying to one up Trump because he signed a common sense bill.

I’m sure the haters will be along directly to criticize Governor DeSantis for not doing this sooner.....or some other lame crybaby complaint.

After her mother died, my friend had squatters move into her mother’s house. They were running a prostitution ring out of the home. Police told her she could not enter the house. Took over a year and tens of thousands of dollars to get them out. They had destroyed everything. Broke all the windows...urinated into the air conditioning system, wore all her mother’s clothes and stole her jewelry AND a grandfather clock. By the end she was just glad to get them out and didn’t pursue charges for all the damages.

Good job Governor. Too bad we can’t dispose of the CRIMINALS in the trash collection.

Another reason why we appreciate you, Governor DeSantis. You’re the best!

The point is that a cop will see a “lease” and he won’t do signature matches etc. it will still have to go to the courts. It’s not going to charge much.

Think about the Government either supporting squatters or at the best just not helping the rightful owner get the squatters out of the property.

1. Who pays the property taxes? If the rightful owner cannot use or sell the property, why pay the taxes?

2. Why insure the property? If it’s not the rightful owners to use and enjoy, then like taxes why insure? Of course squatters are the best caretakers and neighbors do not need to worry about say house fires spreading or trees falling onto their homes.

3. No additional crime problems with squatters… 🤣🤣🤣

4. Of course neighborhood property values are maintained with squatters moving into an area.

5. Why pay the mortgage, electric bill, other utilities and fees?

so no one wins, not the property owner, not the taxing authorities, utilities, loan companies, etc.

I know what some will say, well the government will demand their money! Ok, how did that work out for many areas of Detroit which fell into disrepair, assets can become liabilities quickly.

Excellent job, Gov. DeSantis and Florida legislators. This is how to lead.

And after the squatters are released from Florida jails, fly them to CA and NY.

Homeowners, group together and forcibly throw these home invaders and their belongings from your homes.

I’m pro Trump in’24 1000%, but I have to give DeSantis credit for once again STANDING UP for the people of Florida immediately. This is a matter which should concern every single state’s citizens. Squatters don’t have rights; most especially illegals. I still think he would be the strongest choice for VP. I can forget the acrimony during the campaign; most important is to SAVE OUR COUNTRY, with strong leaders going forward.

I'm for Trump 100%.

There are other Republicans who would be excellent Presidents, but DeSantis is by far the best of them.

I don't know why Trump does not support DeSantis enthusiastically. He is the very best person to succeed Trump and to be adorned with the MAGA mantel.

“We can thank the left for the current state of housing law.”

Actually, we thank ‘Universal Voting’ for this one, as the laws being abused date back hundreds of years and were never a problem, until we strayed for the Constitution and opened up voting to people who aren’t capable of voting for the common good and instead vote either by emotion or for personal gain.

He didn’t write the bill. He was in a quandry about it and people weren’t certain he would sign it. Actually there were a few things in it that could be used wrongly.

IMO it was good he signed it but the legislature came up with it, not him.

You have your head so far up his wazoo that you need to get a room. LOL Quite humorous really.

DeSantis said that he believes Florida is the first state to decisively handle this problem.

And hopefully won't be the last.

“They will have those. Lease forms are everywhere. They’ll forge one and have it handy.”

Sure, somebody is going to try this. And they will go to jail.

Word will get around; Florida has decided to stop playing games.

Ask Disney.

His press conference was awesome. He was fully prepared with facts and rhetoric. A model for Republicans — especially Trump’s issue staffers.

All I said was I appreciated how he actually gets things done, instead of just mouthing off all the time, as there is a big difference. If consider that a love affair, you must be appalled at the practical worship we’re seeing by others of their favorite politician, who hasn’t accomplished much of anything of note in four years. But whether he does or not seems pretty much irrelevant to his throngs of devotees, which is why I stand apart.
