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.

it's not easier said than done as long as the tenants have a signed copy of their lease.

the biggest problem is that tenant rights aren't something that is taught in public schools, just like finance or taxes. tons of people who rent just get the first place available and have no idea what their rights are at all.

I wonder how long until DeSantis starts talking about recreating debtors prisons

Actual squatters really wrinkle my sprinkles so I feel like something NEEDS to be done to make sure they can't claim they have to be evicted through civil channels. The audacity I've seen from some squatters is actually offensive. I wish them nothing but horrible things.

He's not DeSantis, but Sessions did some dark shit that I don't know if Biden fixed.

MIAMI - Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday signed a bill aimed at quickly removing residential "squatters."

Good, fuck squatters.

I guess, if you like discrimination by another name.

Fuck squatters
