>>”WHAT is so hard about that? It was a problem, it was changed.”
There was nothing hard about it. That’s because it was never a problem here in Florida in the first place. We already had laws to deal with squatters. As others have pointed out, DeSantis passed legislation that outlawed something that was already illegal.
It was also easy for DeSantis because he has a Republican super-majority which has been willing to give him most of what he asks for even when, as in this instance, it’s unnecessary. DeSantis doesn’t have to deal with all the left wing judges and politicians or the insane laws that protect criminals, that you have to deal with in New York.
Really? What *specifically* in the new law outlawed what was already outlawed?
you are unlikely to ever have a better governor than desantis.
and once you get a bad one, all kinds of things will be changed structurally in terms of elections management.

I don’t think you are correct. Prior to the new “squatters law,” the owner of the property had to remove a squatter occupying the premises for 30 days or more through the eviction process: https://www.southfloridalawpllc.com/2024/04/05/changes-to-floridas-squatters-rights-laws-what-you-need-to-know/
Umm, NO. Talk to Patti Peeples from Jacksonville, who had to contact the news a year ago AND form her own organization against squatters.
