If he wants to do it quickly and cheaply, he needs to publicize this even more. Ask for help from the people in the area to picket the mayor and local politicians. Make a public stink, and role up the citizens. Get a large group to go to board meetings to tell the politicians, they will be out of a job if they let this gross injustice stand. Something will be then be done in short order.
Just wait until they are out of the house, break in, change the locks and say you had a verbal agreement to move back in.
Should shorten up the whole court process.
gypsies.
I think you’re right - there’s a process to be followed for this sort of thing. Chances are (unless there’s a lot more to this story than we’ve heard so far, which is certainly possible) that it should be pretty much a formality to get an eviction order. I doubt if the current occupants have much in the way of resources to fight it in court.
In a perfect world scumbags like these (if that’s what they are - again we may not have heard to whole story) would also be charged with fraud, or theft, or something like that. A person could probably take them to civil court for damages, but you can’t squeezed blood from a stone.
You got that right.
Sig is Swiss.
Shoot them.
Florida is a castle doctrine state and they did invade his property.
It’s ridiculous. These are criminals making up a story.
What sort of “friend” hires hardened criminals to work on your house?
I would sell the house and be done with it.
He got stabbed in the back by these clowns.
I wouldn’t want to live in the house now, anyway.
Sell it and move on, lesson learned.
Should be a quick eviction, so I don’t know why there is a problem.
“If the dwelling unit is furnished without rent as an incident of employment and there is no agreement as to the duration of the tenancy, the duration is determined by the periods for which wages are payable. If wages are payable weekly or more frequently, then the tenancy is from week to week; and if wages are payable monthly or no wages are payable, then the tenancy is from month to month.”
I think that only applies to properties that are occupied legally, as part of a contract. I do not think this statute applies to squatters.
Oral contracts are clearly covered in the law, as are unspecified terms and free rent for work.
Any decent lawyer should have those bums out quickly.
He’s in the military, so JAG should help him.
Trouble is the home owner is way far away and likely can not afford the cost and can not get the leave from his unit to return and file the complaints necessary.
Nope...
The Sheriff won’t allow it.
He needs to be convinced that staying is a worse alternative to going.
If he can squat the property, so can someone else.
been there, done that!!
O.K. if you get the rent...
Obviously, this soldier needs several other soldiers in Florida to have a “meeting of the minds” with this criminal and his woman. And if the two of them end up naked on a dirt road a hundred miles away, well shucks.
