TCOB -— Taking care of business! In Florida.

Any other state can copy Florida. NY and other blue states are too dystopian dysfunctional.

What seemed like common sense 5 years ago is now “stunning and brave” Way to go Florida. I wish I were there instead of PA!

Just as important, no Florida Sheriff is going to tell his command, “I don't like the Florida law so our department is not going to enforce it. Ignore the law.”

First, most Florida Sheriffs don't feel that way (although in the past some south Florida Sheriff's have been pretty liberal.)

Second, if a current Florida Sheriff were to refuse to enforce the law that Sheriff would be removed from office by Governor DeSantis.

That is the way it stands in Florida right now.

“This is awesome, you can can kick any renter out for a number of reasons Rock on”

That is not what the new law says.

The new law is about squatters, not renters in a landlord-tenant contract dispute.

If you have information otherwise, please share.

Red states should be working as a coalition to firm up their constitutional pillars. If FL does something smart, it should be copied in the other states in weeks or months, and vice versa.

Stand together or get picked off one buy one.

There was a reason the Founding Fathers limited voting to property owners.

This explains why populists hate DeSantis. They love squatting on the conservative movement and using it for their own selfish interests.

If you let someone stay with you, even for only a week, with compensation, they could claim rent squatter rights, not no mo

Here is the law. I can see a few possible problems. Here are a couple of them.

Presenting a fake lease to authorities in only a misdemeanor.

The removed person can sue the homeowner and make a claim that that they violated the rules regarding this procedure. There is no language about what happens if a frivolous case it brought against the home owner. No penalty listed. This means that even if the squatter loses then the homeowner will have to bear the legal costs. While slimy people often get free legal aid.

The text of the bill:

I’m hopeful the Governor is even now putting together a plan to follow in the footsteps of President Trump and win the Presidency in 2028. In my opinion you can count on 10 fingers those who are actually worthy of becoming the President of this great country!
