Squatters Are Trespassers!
Exactly
It IS trespassing and in many cases Breaking and Entering. How is this even an issue?
You would think it would be that simple. However, the squatter's law is complex and favors the squatter over the homeowner. That's why this NEW law is needed in ALL 50 states. People are spending $THOUSANDS$ just to keep their homes.
KUDOS to DE SANTiS!!!
@@rickjoyce9272never should have been but we are living in crazy times.
@@rickjoyce9272modern day liberalism thinks it’s racist or whatever they’re saying
Florida just keeps getting better and better.
Is that why a record number of people have left.
@@brianvanwagner4802 you're thinking of California and new york, Texas and Florida were the most moved to states
Wong
Squatters should never have been given rights
Back then it made sense lol squatter laws have been around since 1862 and unfortunately never got updated or erased, they existed because people would go out hunting and die, someone would move into their property and 30 days later legally own it, it’s just crazy how strong those laws were up til now XD I hate squatter laws and I’m glad they’re changing.
We have something simular where I live, but it's a homesteaders law, and I like it. If you rent, and occupy the property for 15 years or more, they cannot raise the rent further nor evict for any reason beyond non payment. It's reason being, if you rented that long, you have made enough payments to pay for a large part of the mortgage thus are "semi" owners. Even if they sell the property, you still cannot be removed. I have lived places for near 12 years, and never miss a payment only to be given notice to vacate in 30 days. It sucks since it usually sits empty for months before they rent it again. One has been empty for 4 years now as they cannot find a buyer. Makes more sense to keep receiving income from it than to sit empty and rot away.
Exactly
@@stevendoty9408IT"S NOT YOUR PLACE !!!!!!!!!!! It doesn't matter what YOU think. You didn't initially buy the house to make or take control of it.
You only get to own two homes max. Sign that one.
It's already bad enough that some state governments charge you taxes on the property, but then allow people to come and take the property from you? That is totally wrong!
This doesn't happen. You're mad about a fabricated problem
@@thesnowmiser6728 no, I'm mad about an actual problem the government of stares and local municipalities are allowing, which should not exist in any form. Squatters should have no rights. They are trespassers, and it is against the law.
This should be across the board
Californication will never do it !! They love their criminals too much !!
Just make sure when your kids turn 18 to call the police and have them removed from your house. No squatters allowed.
@@Van_Wildrcomparing apples to potatoes now?
@@Van_Wildr Elimination of squatter's rights just means that you can control who lives in your property. That doesn't mean anyone who isn't the property owner has to get out.
Absolutely time to end this!!
That is how government should work!!!
It’s already called Trespassing
Most variations of squatters rights require you to trespass over a long period of time (usually a full year). If someone can manage that, the property is pretty much abandoned.
I agree with him 100%
Should be a law everywhere! Squatting is theft!
Then get YOUR governor to do the same thing.
@@josephcoon5809
TRiUMPh 2024 for US All🇺🇸
Now all a landlord has to do to get rid of unwanted renters is declare
them to be squatting and have them ejected. Good Job, Floridaman!
But for the ones that did have squatters in their homes this is the cavalry in a lawful way to remove those squatters and return what is yours to you.
@Alacritous the tenenat would have a lease, this would not apply at all. You sound like a squatter.
All states should be doing this!
Squatters have no rights to someone’s home period
Agreed. Let's start with the illegitimate squatter state of Israel.
Tell that to the democrats.😂
Every state needs these laws.
Good Law.
Agree 100%, but Blue states seem to like the criminals more than the owners!
Finally a law that makes sense ❤❤❤
Call it what it is these are criminals! Prosecuted to the full extent of the law period! Common Sense!!
I live in Florida, thank God for Gov. DeSantis!!!
So do we, live in Florida. Governor Disantis is the best person we have ever had for a Governor!!!!🩵
God doesnt vote. Thank humans. Vote dont pray
Feels good to see common sense prevail in today’s society!!! Ron Desantis I applaud you!! 👏👏👏
Squatters rights shouldn't even be a thing..
It Was a law made by UK and USA liked the ider ..... so homeless people could use empty work whearhouses and empty homes (too sleep and wash ) but law is damage to the property always been illegal but squatter rights only works in empty property soon as they get the land you illigaly trespassing once informed it's no longer a empty property donno when USA touck the UK laws but squarter right been in UK since 1854
Squatters rights don't exist if laws are obeyed which they're not abiding by. Some need to check their gray matter if there's any left, and the rest of us need to back DeSantis, Abbott and Trump to protect US!.
THATS THE WAY IT'S DONE.
SQUATTERS RIGHTS HAS BEEN SQUASHED.
This is the most common sense thing I have ever heard. Why does the rest of the US not do this?
Too many Biden supporters.
@@johannesswillery7855nah too many democrats
The government already uses property taxes to make it so you have to pay them for the right to own anything. The Dems feel if you don't vote for their crazy ideas, that they should be able to take it from you and give it to some people who WILL vote however they want you to.
He's the only one who has the balls to do the right thing.
Didn't they end alimony insanity too down there in Frolida ...?
He'd be a good president after trump
Big balls 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂beach balls
Amen to that
@@robertgrunenwaldHe's ten times the better statesman than Trump, and should have been the nominee this election.
' Governor Ron DeSantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbott are the BEST.' GOD BLESS TEXAS, AND GOD BLESS FLORIDA!
Wish California had one of these governors instead of the one we have.
AMEN! BOTH MEN ARE TIGER'S. I THINK ALL GOVERNOR'S SHOULD BE AS GREAT AS THESE TWO MEN ARE!
@@katieciccoianni4415You can, you just have to move out of California!
President and vice President there for the future.
The squatters should NEVER have been given that right wtf these other governors should do the same no matter if red or blue
Squatters rights came about because rental owners were falsely/illegally kicking out tenants. This caused a huge issue that then made laws to protect tenants. Sad;y trash people abuse the safety net and this is what we get.
This is a no brainer. Why would squatters have any sliver of a right to your property at all?
Renters, children living with parents, parents living with their grown kids. Those all are protected under squatters rights so people don’t have a home one day and then the next they are homeless because someone felt like it. Squatters rights protect YOU from being kicked out of your home or apartment for missing a rent/mortgage payment. They protect YOU from being thrown out of a family members house because they lost their patience. They protect YOU for when your kids decide you’ve over stayed your welcome living in their house. It’s protection from losing shelter. Shelter, food, water. Those should all be basic human rights, instead here we are trying to force more people outside on the streets. Even prisoners get better treatment than those hard on their luck and yall PAY FOR THAT!!!
@@Van_Wildrpretty sure that's why there's lease, mortgage and renters agreements. They're contracts and contracts can be negotiated on terms. This law is more for the situations like when people go away on vacation for a few weeks or a month and come back to people who've broken in and refuse to leave. Those kinds of situations need laws like this because no one besides the person(s) living/renting/owning a home and approved people should have access to their home
We need this guy in Cali
Amen
We sure do!!!
Yes we do!
Then stop voting in the same people who don't care about your rights.
then vote for your own version of him. cali keeps voting for a train wreck and wondering why things are going so bad.
Should be done on a national level
Governor DeSantis you are the best governor in the whole country
Yay! AGREE AGREE AGREE!! ABOUT TIME SOMEONE SPEAK AND TAKE ACTION! COME ON CALIFORNIA, STOP SQUATTING AROUND AND DO THE SAME! Stop helping squatters!
need more people like him
Finally someone with common sense!
Should be done in every state!! Homeowners have no rights!
I agree with this move 100%!
Other Red states need to do the same!
I can’t understand why no one had done away with this stupid law before! Great job Florida!!
Done away with?
Awesome, now get rid of property tax
It used to be called breaking and entering or unlawful trespassing! Bring back the law Ron, way to go . And stop the unfair DEI foolishness. Bridges are falling, planes are crashing, ships are sinking.
Go Florida!
Thank you DeSantis
This is not rocket science, any governor who gives squatters rights over property owners should be ousted!
Best Governor PERIOD!
He did one good thing.What a joke.
That should be FEDERAL LAW.
Totally agree, maybe a great congress person should introduce it
@@tnewland4571 question I have is, who is that? Not very high on politicians. Where is the help that is necessary instead of introducing more problems?
What do you mean?@@zombenut
@@lesliegemignani3422 ?
@zombenut I think that no person should have the right to be living illegally in anyone's home. Said persons, squatters, should be hauled off and put into jail.
But I don't know what you meant by introducing more problems?
Getting tired of "criminal" rights
I bet the 'criminal' rights would change, if the squatters moved into Governor Hochul's house, or Letitia James house in NY!!
So you support orange man for prison?
@chrisgiracello2991 no but I definitely support Biden & co(family) for prison
@@chrisgiracello2991Joe 10% big guy for treason sold usa to chyns
Thats stupid dude...
How is this even a friggin issue
They should do this everywhere people work hard to own there own place just to have a thief come in and kick you out then you have to pay thousands and months or years to get your place back
Should look into who allowed squatters rights.
Old law from early 1900s when there were old abandoned farmhouses. Needs to be removed. All governors should step up, be like DiSantis and Abbott! Then get like Tennessee and ban chemtrails!!!
DEMS ALLOWED SQUATTERS
I wouldn't doubt that it was concocted by some liberal in NYC
Dates back to early America.
Common sense
"Intentionally leaving more than $1000 in damages is a felony" is a big one. I've been seeing more and more of those stories.
I am in Australia, i had tenants who just stopped paying rent. It took me 5 months to remove them. They left a mess. Theu also harassed me afterwards, blaming me for having to live in a caravan park and i had to pay for removal of rubbish. I was furious. And i had been kind and given them a low rent because i could see theyd struck tough times.
This law is long overdue, should be law in every state
This should have always been the case! good Job!
Absolutely ....bring this to Arkansas
It's a slippery slope for society, if people are allowed to take your property without any repercussions😢 congratulations to Florida's Common Sense law😂
Still the best governor in the country. I hope he runs for president again - with a much better campaign.
Why in the hell isn't this law everywhere? Why would squatters have any rights?
The only rights squatters have are to squat in prison.
Becuz the Democrat's don't care
@@karennorton314Because our house of rep is inept. Oh and did I mention useless.
Absurd they ever had rights to begin with
Somebody's finally doing something, Thank you ~
Must be nationwide!!
Squatters have no right to invade a person's property.
Ask the scam victims how they feel, showing up to a house after putting thousands of dollars down as deposit and spending everything else they have on movers assistants, only to get kicked out by a sheriff moments later.
those are scam vitcoms not squatters.
While i feel for that person, what about the owner of the property?
This should be implemented nationwide.
Every state needs to follow suit.
It should be a national law !!! 🇺🇸👍
Never did understand the whole squatting entitlement or the laws that protected them. How did they get into these homes ? It's called breaking & entering. Thats illegal everywhere in this country. Why did the law bypass other laws protecting the rightful owners ?
Look up on Google. It’s a very old law in America.
@@user-un7fp8rq9j
During a different time and for a different purpose though!
How do squatters have rights at all?! Ridiculous
Florida is an example for every state especially the part about not allowing advertising of property for sale or rent without ownership rights. Not many in government have the balls the size of those in Florida!!!
Good for Florida pray for our country!!!!!!
He doing what everyone nationwide wants, and no-one gave him a chance for President!!!
If your illegal, your arrested. More of what everyone wants....
Love this guy!!
It's already a law, it is called TRESSPASSING.
They just need to enforce it
Florida Has Everything!!!! Many Diff Seasons!! Many Sports Teams and Colleges!!!
Time to move out of ny as American citizens taxpayers im disgusted at schumer hocul Adam's Bragg lateasha got a house in Florida the only non sanctuary state
Did you vote Democrat is so deal with your choices . Stop whinning about things you an others voted for
They're all squatters, too..
Governor DeSantis again shows California and New York how to do it.
Exactly.
What is the difference between breaking & entering & squatting? NOTHING.
We need this in all 50 states!!!!
Love my Gov.
All states should follow DeSantis,s squatter law
DeSantis is going to be a FANTASTIC President some day!
Thank you Governor , you show honor and ethics towards your citizens
What in the world is wrong with the level of morals in our country when people believe they can just move into someone else's home and take over! Blows my mind.
Thank you Florida!!
Why give that power to the federal government...? It's not part of their constitutional mandate. The correct question is, why hasn't every state enacted this type of protection for property owners.
Red states proving again they have a better mind for the property owner.
desantis making it illegal to intentionally damage someones property? OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Yes, he always protects his citizens, peppery owners, renters.
And if you file a false form, then you get arrested as the criminal. Enough said
Why would anyone fill a false form?
@@odinfeehcu1984they do it all the time. That’s how they get the cops to leave and force the owners into a civil suit which lasts months.
Desantis is truly AMAZING. Its incredible what this man gets done. Thank you governor! Nashville TN love you
What's right is right. Simple reality.
Props to Desantis for having common sense and protecting honest hard working citizens. Cant say the same about other governors.
All squatters should be arrested and charged
It is catch and release sadly they will just find somewhere else to squat, I think mental asylums should be opened it be mandatory for idiots like squatters to be put there if they want a place to stay for free and are not criminals there are obviously someone insane in the situation.
Private property rights ENFORCEMENT obviously.
THank you Gov. DeSantis! Pass this law in every state!
Should be done nationally. Squatters should have no rights that’s a license to steal.
ABOUT TIME...
America is a country where the best, most innocent person goes to jail and have a criminal record. This country is really a scary place.
I spent two years trying to evict a non paying tenant. Now, she's suing me for 20k with her free lawyer. I have to leave this country. Enough is enough.
Thank you Gov de Santis, we are proud of you , Thank God I live in Florida!
They should arrest them as well!
I thought stealing somebody's home was already against the law , and being illegal is also against the law to prevent this in force the first law and kick them out of the country
It’s so sad there needs to be a bill so a home owner can remove strangers from their home…what is going on in this crazy world
Thats how it should be. Shouldn't need a law for that.
Thank you Gov. DeSantis.
I'm a homeowner living in Florida. Thank god we have a great governor. 👍
Hopefully your voters will always be smart enough to keep it that way! There are a lot of other states that need to get smart quick.
@user-zo7op2fh8d not sure that will happen. We've had a lot of Democrats fleeing the messes they made in NY and coming here. And also a lot of people from Puerto Rico moving here too. So, guess will see how it goes. I'm not holding my breath though.
Every state should follow
Bravo! Ron DeSantis. You are the Governor of the Year.
