TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Squatters beware. Florida's latest law makes it easier to remove those illegally staying on private property.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed HB 621 into law Wednesday, eliminating squatters' rights in the state.
"We are putting an end to the squatters scam in Florida," DeSantis said. "While other states are siding with the squatters, we are protecting property owners and punishing criminals looking to game the system."
DeSantis said the law provides homeowners with remedies against squatting and increases penalties for squatters.

This is a classic case of responding to a false premise. “We must protect the squatters’ rights.” NO!!! The squatters have NO rights! The discussion ends by not accepting the false premise of squatters’ rights. If you “debate” it, or “bring it to a vote” then there is a good chance that the squatters may “acquire” those very rights.
ANYONE can browse the tax liens properties & GO to County & work to purchase said properties.
A SQUATTER is a renter who won’t move-—
OR a person who has broken into a home & refuses to leave.
Could be a home up for sale
Could be owners are on vacation
Could be the owners have a 2nd home that they are at-—
Could be any number of things.
STEALING your home is no different than stealing your car-—ONLY much bigger problem.
Elaborate, please.
Harry Reid incarnate, you’ve resurrected the old lies again! We’re gifted with a twofer today; the election integrity and fiscal responsibility ones. Yew must be mistaking Florida for NY or maybe it’s just a case of Harry Reid having to Harry Reid.
“He hasn’t secured Florida’s elections.”
You obviously aren’t registered to vote in FL
Maybe you’re in Broward or Pinellas counties, -the two most corrupt counties in FL, and have a myopic outlook. Or maybe you’re just making S up
Maybe he has better luck in ‘28 running as St. Desanctimonius.😂👢👢🤡
nevertrumping desantis supporters are still all infatuated with propping up desanctimonious as the best governor of florida....
******************************************************
No,no, no backpecker. We’re not “propping up” DeSantis as the best governor of Florida, we’re declaring him the best governor in the United States.
bull....
If he’s so great,
why didn’t he do the this anti squatting bill a year or more ago?
It’s because it wasn’t important for him to worry about being governor of florida again...
he thought he had the presidency in the bag...
you spelled fudgepacker wrong ...
“squashing” or “quashing”?
“It would require the “squatter” to make significant improvements to the property and assume and pay off any and all back taxes and liens. Not by just simple “occupying” property legally owned by others.”
No, simply purchase the property.
I wish he had added hard labor to that law. Nothing like them being required to be on a chain gang in Florida on the side of the road picking up urine filled bottles and loaded stinky diapers to give them time to rethink their life choices.
I think you and others may have missed my point.
I’m only considering truly abandoned properties.
There is no owner from which it can be purchased other than the State.
In many place, parts of Chicago for example, there are no interested buyers either.
The only rights squatters should have is the right to get a couple loads of rock salt out of a 12 ga. in their behinds.
To author of article: Quash (ed) not Squash (ed) you ignorant putz.
You obviously aren’t registered to vote in FL
******************************************************
Being a proud citizen of Lee County I am certainly registered to vote in FL. The most awesome governor in America, Ron DeSantis, and the extraordinary Congressman Byron Donalds have both gotten votes from me.
“Making S up”? That’s a Harry Reid incarnate SOP, you should address that to him, he’s perfected it.
My post was addressed to Mewzilla, not you.
Well that’s embarassing! Please accept my apology.
You DID address the “making S up” to Harry Reid incarnate.
Why didn’t Trump do this when he was President?
“I wish he hadn’t gotten over his skis and ran for president. His time will come, later.”
All he needed to do was to support Trump in 24. He would then have received Trump’s endorsement in 28. But noooooooo........
