is it just gonna be a way for landlords to call tenants they don't like "squatters"?
Is this going to apply against real squatters or is it just gonna be a way for landlords to call tenants they don't like "squatters"?That's absolutely what it will be used for.
That's absolutely what it will be used for.
we are protecting property owners
Is this going to apply against real squatters or is it just gonna be a way for landlords to call tenants they don't like "squatters"?Yeah, what's keeping this from being used by landlords as a way of effectively getting around antidiscrimination laws?

Both. That's the point. Rare win my ass.
Yeah squatters rights have become the brand new tort reform. Where specific, silly but still rare cases are blown up and trumpeted leading to laws to stop them that do stop those rare cases, but also serves to more often help the rich and fuck over the poor
You support landlords evicting tenants they don't like by inflicting felony charges on them... a win?

Without knowing too much about it or looking into it, that's kind of what I'd suspect. Especially if some shit fuck like DeSantis is doing it. I'm sure there is probably 1 example everyone uses to show it's bad, but then if you look into it, it's like the complete opposite of how it's presented. Like the McDonald's coffee case.
I think you completely misread that post lol
No, the opposite. Perhaps I just wrote it badly.

Out of curiosity, how could this screw over legit tenants? Having an active lease doesn't make them squatters, and I'd imagine they're given a certain amount of time after the end of a lease or eviction.The quoted text emphasizes how quickly the sheriff will remove the people residing on the property once the landlord submits the form. My immediate questions are is there any review process to make sure the people living there are not legitimate tenants before the police remove them and is there any significant penalty for a landlord if they falsely claim a resident is a squatter?

Of course there is no review. Landlords will use it to evict people they don't like.
Trump goes to a campaign rally. On his way back to Mar-a-lago, NY AG seizes property. Trump returns "home" while no longer the legal owner. Arrested as a squatter.
It's Florida. Of course there is no review. Landlords will use it to evict people they don't like.And even if the tenants have legal recourse for a wrongful eviction, I bet it's going to take forever to get through the courts and they'll be homeless in the meantime.
Dont see anything wrong. As long as youre a tenant under contract you should be fine.oh sweet summer child
Dont see anything wrong. As long as youre a tenant under contract you should be fine.You'd be surprised how many tenants are on Verbal Month-to-Month leases, especially from the less scrupulous landlords.
Won't take long for someone to die from this.

Generally, those people don't have a whole lot of other options either.
Yeah, Im aware. I know someone with no contract who was just told to evict by May. But its part of the double edge of not having anything signed by paper.So now, if I'm a morally dubious landlord, I am incentivized to keep these kinds of month to month verbal tenants
Is this going to apply against real squatters or is it just gonna be a way for landlords to call tenants they don't like "squatters"?Absolutely. You can always assume that any law passed by the GOP will benefit the donor class.
Yeah, Im aware. I know someone with no contract who was just told to evict by May. But its part of the double edge of not having anything signed by paper.And now you can be kicked out immediately by a cop as a squatter.
That reminds me. How does he keep living down there? I remember this whole thing about how he declared it a club for tax purposes and wasn't allowed to be a resident?He's a guest, not a tenant. Legally speaking Trump is homeless.
FWIW the scope of the bill had been narrowed since it's introduction, but I don't know what it used to be like for comparison. I know that tenants can sue property owners if wrongfully evicted but they'll need to provide hard evidence of their right to be there. Easier said than done in a lot of cases and there's real potential of innocent tenants facing criminal charges meant for actual squatters.
