Thank you Florida Legislature and Governor DeSantis for bringing some long needed sanity to this stupid loophole.

I saw that no pending litigation is a prerequisite. It seems like the would afford a squatter the opportunity to draw things out in court

This was the most civil solution. The alternative would have been violence by men with dark hearts.

This is a smart decision. I guess it’s going to take each and every state enacting similar laws, specifically defending the homeowners rights. Something most assumed already was defended by the law.

I think that mostly refers to ongoing legal issues between a landlord and a renter that’s stopped paying their rent.

If there’s already litigation between those two parties, this law cannot be used to supercede that.

That’s my question, why haven’t othercstates taken up this model?

I get lib states WANT this but I’m surprised other red states haven’t.

Not if these laws mandate long prison terms, deportation, etc., for bad faith efforts to avoid them.

Unfortunately, this law cannot be used for parents trying to kick out their deadbeat children...

The state considers it criminal trespassing, leading to fines and possible imprisonment.

But the main thing is permanently getting them the heck out.

“Unfortunately, this law cannot be used for parents trying to kick out their deadbeat children”

One of the most effective things I’ve seen to motivate sorry kids is to remove their bedroom door.

Lack of privacy seems to do wonders for either shaping them up or convincing them to seek shelter elsewhere. 😏

There's a good reason New Yorkers - including Sean Hannity - are fleeing to Florida.

NY squatter allows homeowner to take family belongings from late father’s house

A New York squatter who has been living inside a dead man’s home for the last six years finally allowed the homeowners to collect family belongings that were left inside.

Donna Kent recently gained access to her father’s Staten Island home after his death in 2012, but was met with a self-aware squatter named Kyle when she arrived to claim her father’s prized possessions.

had some friends with “deadbeat child syndrome”. sold the house to a friend, furniture and all, without saying a word to deadbeat child, moved the friend in the same day they left town, new owner moved some of his family in right away, deadbeat child left. they are now “buying back” the house after a 6 month vaca. nice!

Brian kilmeade got here before hannity.

And trust me, it’s not just new Yorkers either......the fear many of us have is they are bringing the voting habits that destroyed their state with them.

I know a father who removed his teenage son’s door for a week when the son slammed it in anger. After that, no more slamming incidents.

So I can see that working.

I can only imagine the difference in state taxes for Hannity and other celebrities that have fled New York and California for Florida.
