[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it takes 30+ days for someone to establish residence. I’d hope one would know if someone has been in their house for over 39 days.[/quote] +1 It's not "go out to dinner, and then someone squats in your home". That would immediately be a B&E since they would not be able to show a valid utility bill in that time, nor would they be able to get rid of all your stuff in that amount of time. But, yes, 30 days, that's concerning. We are planning to spend a lot of time traveling when the kids are out of the house. I told DH that squatting is a big concern. We will have cameras in the house, and hopefully, neighbors who will keep an eye out. Or, maybe get a house alarm with a company.[/quote] It works in blue states with ridiculous laws. It does not work in red states and would be down right dangerous in stand your ground states or strong castle law states. [/quote] Squatters have rights in both Texas and Florida. Blue those states are not.[/quote] Not in Florida. Not now. Every single state should pass similar laws. [twitter]https://twitter.com/FLVoiceNews/status/1773033342226608438[/twitter] Gov. Ron DeSantis signed anti-squatter legislation on Wednesday, seeking to combat individuals who illegally reside in a house that they do not own or pay rent for. The bill would allow law enforcement to remove squatters who can’t produce a notarized lease signed by the landowner or proof that they are paying rent for the property. Additionally, there would be penalties for individuals who produce fraudulent leases that are commonly used by squatters. Rep. Kevin Steele, R-Dade City, sponsored HB 621 and Sen. Keith Perry, R-Gainesville, championed the Senate version. Steele brought up the work that it took to get the legislation perfected and [b]passed unanimously [/b]in both chambers.[/quote] It's common sense legislation; I expect NY and CA to update their laws in a similar manner. There was no need for Ronnie to make this some sort of pissing match with other states. He's such a drama queen. [/quote]
