In my opinion squatters should have NO right to steal ANYONE's land.
Not just your opinion, it's just common sense. It's called "Theft of property". Jeez.
ALL Squatter Laws need to end. No protection or rights for squatters. It's not the 1600's.
They would have a real tough time taking my property; we have the right to protect what is ours.
The right to go to jail sounds good
@@USAEastright screw those fake laws you are getting out of my property
Remember if your state allows this nonsense florida has shown it’s easy to address. If the problem continues it’s because your local leaders want it too.
That is because they are lawyers who make money from this SCAM.
But why should we need a law for that....we have a Deed of Ownership that's why we pay taxes .
@learnbyheart7 there used to be a squatters rights law decades ago because of abandoned property. No one was paying taxes on the property, and if you could live there and improve it, you could gain rights. That law is no longer necessary in any way. The squatters are taking over empty but not abandoned properties.
A lot of people got squatters rights in the keys, when not many people wanted to live there.
@@learnbyheart7 Because politicians have made Squatters Rights Laws that must be repealed.
This law does not criminalize "squatting". They are still getting away with burglary scott free !! This does nothing to put "squatters" in jail. DeSantis failed to go far enough as usual !!
Its too bad Desantis didn’t do better in those primary debates cause this is the kind of leadership we desperately need in our president
Way to go Florida! This needs to be done Nationwide. Protect the owners.
They call them "squatters" but they're just thieves.
They call them squatters but they refused to pay rent when the landlord lets the property fall into disrepair
@@mb9662 Don't care. Just because the landlord refuses to fix the dish-washer, or a ceiling fan, that doesn't make the property _BELONG_ to the tenet. It means that the civil contract between the two is broken, and the renter can move out.
Obviously you're a thief yourself, and so you need the mental gymnastics you've just exhibited in order to re-define your own theft. Have you tried being honest? Or hard work? Apparently not.
@@TROOPERfarcry obviously you’ve considered everything and have concluded that the owner/landlord is always right.
Well yeah, if the owner or landlord owns the property, yes.
They are always right.
@@mb9662 I understand that 'thinking' isn't your strong suit, but maybe if I use small enough words you'll grasp it?
A renter and a landlord enter into an agreement: the landlord will provide these services, and in exchange, the renter will pay.
If one of them fails to uphold their end of the bargain, then the deal is dissolved. Your idea of "it's over, so I guess I don't have to pay anymore" is built on pure, abject ignorance.
I probably used too many words, your sense of permanent-victimhood and TikTok brain means you just don't have the reasoning _OR_ attention-span for an actual conversation.
Not that it matters anyway, because the bigger issue is people who squat an "abandoned property", and then claim that it belongs to them. That has *nothing* to do with landlords or rent or a ceiling-fan switch that isn't reliable.
Squatters should be thrown in jail.
Or just bussed to New York and San Francisco
Or even better deported
@@JohnWickBabaYaga556Heck NO
I thought breaking and entering was already a crime.
Some squatters don’t know they’re squatting. The scam is that someone else pretends to be the homeowner and they advertise a house for rent. The renter pays the person first month, last month and deposit. They still need to leave though, no excuse. It still costs the homeowner more money than the unknowing squatter lost.
I’m from Texas and can absolutely say that this man is one of the best politicians I’ve seen in a very long time.
Obviously all politicians have their problems but each time I see DeSantis in a press conference it’s regarding an issue that needs to be addressed and a close to perfect solution
Really hope to see Desantis in the White House someday. He’s one of the only politicians ever that I can genuinely say I like as a politician and as a man. It’s a rare combination nowadays to see someone who’s both an effective politician, as well as a true unconditional lover of America
@bigpapi6688 he's a politician who went to an ivy league school. He's smart
@@banhmi5495 plus he served in the military. My trust in a politician automatically goes up when they actually have the history to show they’d die for this country
Us floridians hate him.
Literally the only good law he’s passed.
So if you break in, steal a TV, and leave you get arrested. But if you break in, and then stay there and watch the TV, you're fine. INSANITY!
in new york youll be arrested for neither. Takes assault to get arrested, no bail though... they go ahead and release violent criminals.
Florida should thank Gov DeSantis for this
The legislature passed the law. So they get most of the credit.
DeSantis for president….
We do! ❤❤❤
@@fastdude2002 NO
@@California6Agreed Florida needs him, besides he simply does not have the chops for the job…maybe...’32’.
Squatter rights shouldn't even be a thing!
Bank Robers rights 😂😂😂
"Squatter's rights" is an oxymoron, right?
as should be on existing abortion rights....
@@alleynejoelleit made sense in alaska ehrn theyre trying to populate a state but somewhere that is already occupied is mind numbing. Our leaders suck.
Clearly you don't understand why it was invoked in the first place. But as usual, it Hass to be all or nothing in a GOP state. There is a middle ground that will both protect tenants and protect landowners you know? But I know that reasonableness doesn't even factor into the maga equation
This is fantastic! Good job. We need to have private property laws. You worked hard for it, it should be protected.
I voted for him before and I’m thankful that I voted for him again.god bless this man.
This needs to be done nationwide

@@kenb4303 no I am against the squatter rights and I believe they have no rights to being with
Florida the ultimate nanny state, a progeny for the future of America
So lucky and proud to be Floridian! Thanks to our great Gov Ron DeSantis! ❤
If you leave your home and it's locked and somebody breaks in why aren't they charged with breaking and entering
They typically present a fake lease. And sometimes they Are innocent, they got conned by someone who broke in and rented it out.
The obvious answer is yes. The nuanced answer is that not everyone knows theyre breaking and entering. That may sound ludicrous but some are being fooled and some have actual leases that the landlord isnt honoring any more. Thats why its usually dealt with civilly if papers are presented.
Call BS to the two previous responses here. Been in law enforcement for decades and what they're saying is a tiny portion of the problem. The majority of squatters know exactly what they're doing and that it will take months to remove them. They then just go and do it somewhere else. There is no "nuance" involved, you either legally own the property or you don't, something that can be determined in a day, not months. This is exactly the kind of thinking that enables these people and perpetuates the problem, hopefully it never happens to you.
The creeps change the locks and put a new one on so they have the keys. When the owner shows up they cannot get in.
Perhaps you get a broken !eg, have heart attack and need rehab, do you want to finally get to go home and find squatters in there and now it is too bad, you we're gone 6 weeks. And your neighbors are checking on you as they never had to. Ex: when mom fell and broke her hip and my brother came from out of state. . neighbors questioned who he was and why was he going in her house as they knew she was in rehab. Thank God for great neighbors
This is a bill that should be passed in every state.
Ask yourself why it isn’t
Better hope you have rent receipts.
This bill gives landlords the right to kick anyone out without a court hearing.
Zero distinctions between a squatter and an unlawful eviction.
@Ccc-ru7oe good! Hopefully that also applies for the renters who don't pay who currently have the privilege of staying for months on end to be evicted via court papers and a sherif present :) the degenerates are slowly losing their rights and I love it
ABSOLUTELY!!!
This will only help Bill Gates, who is buying up all the land in Florida! Soon you will have to get off his land.
God bless America and private property rights, excellent news Desantis!
❤❤❤ i LOVE Gov DeSantis!
DeSantis is NO JOKE - He deals with every issue immediately!
Well, I wouldn’t say immediately.. not sure why it took until his 2nd term to do this.
@@mylegsasleep1934 compared to other states... sounds like he is first.. also the LEGISLATURE has to write it and send it to him.. the GOV does not WRITE LAW.... tho he can make suggestions.
Nope he's trying to save face after his failed presidential run. He could have done these things many years ago but he was too busy fighting Disney to appeal to potential voters in other states.
He hasn't addressed the problem with Judge Craig C Dethomasis in Levy County and the world has been watching.
He hasn’t done anything to stop investors from coming into Florida and destroying the housing market. So no he doesn’t deal with real issues in a timely matter or at all!
All US should implement this law immediately. No excuses.
100%!!!!!!
Yep. Squatting deprives people of property without due process. 5th Amendment.
This needs to be nationwide!! Come on Texas, do your thing Gov Abbott!!!!
Abbott is big supporter of the wef and big freinds with klaus schwabb,,, he will only what he's told by the un
Especially for Texas!
I’m in SA and we should do this ASAP
I agree, Florida has been out Texasing Texas the last couple of years lol
Is he going to run for president....I hope!
It's disgusting that there should even be a law that will "allow" a hardworking, rightful homeowner to remove trespassers from their property. Good for Florida, and hats off to Governor Desantis for addressing this distressing problem. The rest of our nation needs to take a stand against these animals and fight for what is ours.
DeSantis is the most productive Governor ever!!!Floridians are blessed.
Which is why I did not support him for President. His time will come and he will make an awesome President....but wee need Trump now. Only Trump will do what is necessary without all the compromise BS.
Greg Abbott is also the most productive Governor ever!
love both Governors...
@@parajerry👍 agree. I voted for. DeSantis for Govenor. But we are MAGA! 🥳
Thank You DeSantis and Legislature for this bill. Insane anyone NEEDS ONE !
@@kristyduong3795, If only the current administration in the White House would stop their shenanigans! Thank you Governors Desantis and Abbott for taking a stand
But he's not protecting lower income homeowners from the rich booting them out. How much from social security can the elderly afford
Someone breaks into your car and takes possession, it's theft. YET, when someone breaks into your house and takes possession, they have a right to be there. Crazy!
Welcome to the Dems world !!
Leftism in a nutshell
Only if you believe his BS.
The destruction of USA
Thankful for DeSantis
Let me explain why the loophole exists. It has to be amended because it's being abused but primarily the intent was to protect the disadvantage people who usually are tenants. Where a living space is considered vital unlike having a car etc. Because abusive landlords could technically suddenly rip off your contract and call the police and have you thrown out in winter with your kids. Basically the idea is simple. Have the civil court settle it so it goes thru proper eviction procedures and tenants won't just suddenly get throw out in the street. Then the ahole squatters came to abuse it. Actually if the procedure was very fast like 1 week max in court. This wouldn't be an issue also. There should be tenants rights and expedited squatters complain committee.
Thank you Ron Desantis!!!💪
Its about time homeowners have rights not squaters.
Squatters are criminals and should not have ANY rights! The laws are absolutely ridiculous! God Bless Governor De Santis.
Housing is a human right. Another attack on renters during a decades-long housing crisis which was only worsened by Airbnb, Boomer retirements and the pandemic. It's like the failing crapitalist government still hasn't figured out the pitchforks are coming. Anyone that has ever picked up a history book knows how that works.
What's a squatter and what laws?
@@amymcconnoran4482 like a loophole?
@amymcconnoran4482 ohhh I didn't know you could do that. That seems like a loophole if that law exist
Ban squatting completely.
Governor DeSantis is always looking after Florida citizens and doing the right thing! Greatest governor in the nation!
MI gov not too much... Wants to sell our land to the CCP...
He makes being a Governor look so easy. Just do the right thing and do it fast. Novel.
He hasn’t done anything to stop investors from destroying our housing market. So no he doesn’t care about us. At least not the middle class.
@@faerydae29 You should write a letter to his office and your local office holders. Pay attention to who you are voting for and for what they stand.
This new law wont put squatters in jail. It only lets the cops remove them in less time than a court takes. They are still getting off scott free with burglarizing homes.
I'm moving to Florida soon, proud to say that's my Governor
Everyone, move to Florida!
This needs to be happening nationwide. Good job, DeSantis!
Hopefully Trump if he wins gets it done, but trump can have good intentions but as soon as he becomes president he's going to start working on reelection
Thank you Governor Desantis, Florida is lucky to have you 💯✌️

This should be nationwide. Great job Florida. Great leadership
You could not be more completely wrong. If you lived in FL you would not say that.
like Biden cares
Say worldwide! How about all those Zionist squatters that take Palestinian homes and announce it’s their birthright?
I do live in FL and great leadership.
Donald Trump may have made DeSantis look bad but DeSantis has proven to be a very intelligent man that has his finger on the pulse of his constituents. Good man.
They should be charged with burglary, embezzlement and criminal mischief.
They will be under this law
And breaking and entering
They should be a FEDERAL CRIME with a mandatory time in PRISON!!! It's grand theft of higher proportions.
They always destroy the place too so destruction of property
Then they go to jail and get 3 meals a day and an orange suit with their new home!
The simple fact squatting is allowed in the first place is asinine. It always came off to me as a lazy law that creates more problems than it tries to solve.
It seems crazy to allow someone who breaks into your home to live in it as a tenant, by law. Who even passed laws like that?
The US government should make this a law over THE WHOLE COUNTRY, it should also have been done 50 years ago.
Edit: Holy crap so many people.
While I agree that the Government should not be involved in homeowners property, I still think that at the very least they can do is put federal laws in that don't hurt us but help us, we live in the US yes?
So why can't we ask those who lead our country to accept the grim reality we live in and find a silver lining in these nation wide problems and fix them, spending money where it should be is more important than what we already have, the US dollar is not some international good, it's our currency we use within the borders.
Now if you don't like my opinion, then don't try to convince me, I don't care, I'd rather see this country grow, not regress and shrink.
Amen I agree! It’s crazy we even need one! But yes! Make it FEDERAL law!
Not all states suffered from this problem because they don't have hardline leftist laws that support squatters.
Not a Federal Issue. This would be a State Level Issue. For God's sake keep the Federal Government out of everything we can!
THE US GOVERNMENT IS WORKING FOR CHINA - get real
Yes but if they allowed that then we should be given a large Refund on the Property Taxes homeowners paid and the squatter needs to pay up and jailed.
They should be arrested, for trespassing, not just removed
Home invasion.
In Mississippi they are usually charged with felony home invasion....
And make the squatters clean up the home they squatted in thoroughly at their expense
Apparently if you put a NO TRESSPASSING sign on your property, you can get them on that.
go arrest them
It is actually not squatters rights in California that make owning property such a pain, it is the landlord-tenant laws that are insane in California. Squatters rights take 5 years to go into affect in California, so it is not a huge issue. However, landlord tenant laws require 30 days before the tenant, who has maybe paid rent once, now has at least 6 months to live in your property and you'll need a lawyer, and you can't collect rent, nor can you evict or not renew the lease to make improvements. It is insane.
That's a separate Issue though... but thst law needs to be addressed too..
AMEN to THIS from the horrible state of California!!!
Vote red
Squatters rights should have never been a thing in the first place.
It made sense in the 1800s. Otherwise you could homestead a place, spend years building up a home, farm or ranch, only to have a banker, attorney or politico file a claim and kick you off your land. It is no longer needed and should be ended.
So you think Husbands/Fathers should be able to evict their wives, & children?
@charleton, are you dense? You know damn well that isn’t what “squatters” references.
Yo that's not even close to what the original comment was about@@charletonzimmerman4205
It was great when North America was a frontier but now not so much...
They should be charged with felony B&E.
AGREE!

Amen 🙏 finally justice!!!!
This needs to be nationwide period!!!!
This should be law in EVERY state in the U.S.! With harsh penalties for the "squatters".
They can just be trespassed and removed if you have the right laws. Which is what DeSantis just signed. You don't need to put anyone in a $100k/year prison for trespassing.
You're right! Why was this never a law before?
@@-whackd Like the J6 prisoners?
Politicians watch the properties and pick them up for pennies when the owner runs out of money. They buy them up and kick the squatters out on the street.
I expect the Biden administration to stand up for squatters rights and try to get some judge to stop this law.
I love Florida for what it has done for the people of Florida...1 Billion thumbs up for the governor of FLORIDA......❤❤❤
Absolutely not! He has allowed investors to destroy the Florida housing market. This has ruined the lives of thousands of Floridians so he is not a good governor at all.
This is good news! Well done!
Hallelujah!!! at least one governor in the United States has some sense ❤❤❤
Florida is extremely lucky for this anti squatting bill 💯
The people earned it by getting out and voting people in who serve them.
its NOT luck, its about how you vote
This is real democracy. The left made you think it was hard
Not lucky, we kicked out the Democrat politicians.
This isn't a matter of luck. Maybe you mean that Floridians are fortunate.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU Gov. DeSantis. THANK YOU!!!!
Whoop the do, he worked on one issue. What about the housing market crisis due to investors buying up everything and forcing Floridians to rent forever?
@@faerydae29then better step up your game. Move back to go live with your parents and save up for a few years to put a nice down payment if you have to.
@@mrjjthor that’s not the point. This has never been a problem before. Prior to 2008 investor activity in the residential housing market was scarce, they focused on the commercial market. With airbnb thrown in the mix, now everyone is an inventor and investment companies have to take a huge chunk of the pie. Never have individuals had to deal with so much competition from investors before! This isn’t normal and it’s out of control! It’s the governments responsibility to restrict investor activity so that the middle class and millennial generation have a fighting chance. Affordability is at an all time low. Wages haven’t kept up with these housing costs. There isn’t enough homes to go around for every boomer to be a millionaire while everyone else has a place to live. Something’s gotta give.
No doubt, he has other issues to get too. This is still a big step forward. He does need to speed things up on this high cost insurance issue. Totally agree. @@faerydae29

Thank you Florida Governor !Thank you for protecting private property.
It boggles the mind that Florida is the only state that can timely address this. Good for you, Florida!! All other states should be following your lead.
Because they actually DO something. Politician do nothing but talk talk talk but they want the status quo bcz they want the power. 99% of all problems could be resolved easily if our supposed leaders actually did their jobs.
The GOP could possibly start a trend. Usually it starts with Desantis and the rest will follow.

All housing my should be owned by corporations and anyone else should be evicted
@@mb9662 ?
@@S0GEDKlNG the “owner” has absolutely unquestionable authority at all time, people who are living there should be assumed guilty and dealt with by force
There were instances where old homeplaces were left to rot and become decrepit under lack of upkeep so people could take up residence and if proving they had made improvements and lived unobstructed for 10 years (varied by state) they could claim ownership under squatters rights. Not at all what they are doing now, and I'm sure those squatters rights laws haven't been recognized since like the 90s.

I hope the bill includes mandatory jail time and restitution
Totally agree!
I read the bill, and it doesn't directly. It only allows the landowner to fill out a paper, get the Sherriff's assistance in removing the persons within, and if they are seen on the property again they are guilty of trespassing. I think that is an optimal solution as anything more probably wouldn't have gotten passed.
True. The only way it stops if there are consequences.
@@bluecat2991 at least a step in the right direction, better than it was
@@bluecat2991 I agree. Some houses may have been left empty by the owners for one reason or another--like their age or the age of the building. Then the property becomes an inheritance after several years and the new owners find out some homeless people have taken it over. Now, the homeless may not have been bad people. I know it would be rare for them to be good people, but that is why it shouldn't be mandatory jail time. Good people may have even been trying to improve the property as they made it their home. That wouldn't require restitution and if they were bad people, I doubt they'd have the funds for restitution. Just getting the intruders off the property would be my main concern. And anyone who owns property should have insurance on it to take care of issues associated with intruders. If the property was in good condition and the intruders had been trying to improve it, I might consider letting them rent it from me if I had no other plans for it. A rare situation to be sure, but I think this law would allow for leniency by the home owner and the law.
Thank God we have you!
Wonderful Desantis! So proud of you! And Happy for Florida!
About time someone stood up for tax paying home owners.
Word.

Who needs to be held accountable are those in power who changed the law to strip home owners rights in regards to their property and empowering squatters in the first place.
All states should pass this!
Should not have to pass any new ruling. It is an invasion of private property.
It should be a federal law!
I agree. This is not something that is up for debate...property rights are the cornerstone of Western civilization.
There are things left and right can do together

Wow this a great !!! This should pass nation wide glad to see Florida is making this bill & What a tragedy for the women in NY that got murdered in her property by squatters!
Wow, pass a bill making squatting illegal. Who would have thought that it was that easy? Now there’s no excuse for other States allowing squatters.
Squatters never should have been allowed to invade private property.
An atrocity
EXACTLY
The Homestead Act. It served its purpose. Often land owners would claim land beyond their reasonable ability to make use of the land. It's clear that its original purpose is being contorted into something heretical.

@@thundershadowyup people have found a gross loophole
The fact that this is even an issue is not only sad but embarassing, why do squatters even have rights in the first place?
This isn't an issue in states that didn't have a lot of hardline socialists in government. Some states don't have laws this bad.
They don’t
Finally! An example of a leader who thinks first over his citizens who work hard to have a home! ❤🤗
I am so sorry to say this where the f*** more smart people are I love you guy we need your New York man❤❤❤❤❤❤
Best Governor ! DeSantis 2028!
Property rights are the number one reason anyone ever risked an ocean voyage to become Americans.
You're not too bright are you. Do some research the Florida constitution will do.
@@hokekeller14 do you even know what you just typed
@@cacsoccer101 he voted BIDEN.. he has no idea how to use the bathroom, or which one! LOL!!
🇺🇲♥️💯💯💯💯
Love this governor!! I wish he was our governor!!! Squatters should not have ANY rights!!!!!
the only right they should have is the right to get out and stay out.
Common sense - it's scandalous
It makes money for the lawyers.
I like my governor, Abbott. I also like DeSantis. I hope Texas protects its citizens against squatters as well.
@@freethinker6821 You have a great governor too. Maybe Desantis and Abbott 2028
Man this guy is amazing. I wish we had him for California
For Massachusetts even😊
Finally someone stands up for the American people!
I’m jealous of Florida people. They have a governor that’s like a powerful older brother that looks after the safety and rights of the hard working citizens, and not those that would exploit them.
Moral of the story is, go occupy the County Official's homes and claim Squatters Rights on them who allowed this illegal act!!!
Here, here!!
This is precisely why they flipped out when migrants showed in in Martha's Vineyard.
There’s a good idea…. Wait for them to leave, then get yourself inside and Claim squatters right!!!!!😂😂😂👵🏻
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
brilliant
I don't believe this. No one from my state tries this, why is it going on in Florida and New York?
This should be everywhere!!
Now the rest of the governors need to follow suit. DeSantis I respect you❤️🤍💙
Not all of the states had rediculous hardline leftist laws though, so they don't really suffer from this issue.
Thank You DeSantis.I truly highly Respect you for this Bill.🙏🌹
This is good leadership at its finest!!!! It’s simple, common sense! Thank you!
Every state should adopt this!
Governor DeSantis and the governor of Texas are what this country is made of , good hardworking Americans! With integrity and honesty and we want to keep in touch with our American way of life! Way to go! DeSantis!!! I once believed that DeSantis should run for president but it would be a great loss to the state of Florida! Hopefully other red states will do the same! Trump 2024🇺🇸
