Squatters rights have been eliminated in Florida with the signing of a new bill by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The legislation grants state law enforcement officials the authority to remove offenders and imposes stricter penalties on squatters. This move comes in response to property owners across the country facing the challenge of strangers seizing their homes with limited recourse to reclaim their properties.
Gov. DeSantis emphasized the importance of private property rights, stating that Florida stands by this fundamental principle. The new law aims to put an end to the 'squatter scam' by providing a streamlined process for property owners to reclaim their homes.
