Bill filed to prevent squatters from having rights 

@@jody-ne7xsyeah right

@@jody-ne7xsStealing property is not a HUMAN RIGHT

i'd give them squatters some rights, a few lefts too.

i disagree, ONLY in the way that they should ONLY have the miranda rights, "you have the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney...." i think you know what im getting at, i hope this law gains traction and spreads across the nation. you squat, you get free housing and food, in lockup! id like for this to get added to, force the squatters to make restitution, force them to learn a trade they can get work at, like carpentry or something, and eventually be able to build or afford a place legally, and leave them better than when they first get arrested for squatting.

Vacation, Work trip, Soldier deploy, Snow bird or Hospital stay. Any scammer can google how to take their home

No, any politician who doesn’t support this new law should be voted out of office. Squatters shouldn’t have any rights when illegally occupying someone else’s house/property.

@@NYCmob79 Not in NY, unfortunately. Yet, anyway, we'll see when the next gun control case after the Bruen decision lands on the USSC's docket.

Sometimes they don’t know they are squatting and generally believe they are legit tenants but got scammed by someone else.

What if a house isn't being occupied for more than five years?

​@@kevykevTPANo one in New York has rights.

That’s not how the law works. With that logic all the people in jail for marijuana in states that have legalized should be out. Youre held accountable for the laws that were the law when you broke them.

​@chavvy9074 they should be. By your logic if you got thrown in prison for a 20 bag and had to spend 5 years, and then they legalized it the next day, you still need to serve the 5 years. If that's what floats your boat, bucko, then live your truth. Stay off of other people's property.

@@kguile7832 uh, yeah, that’s exactly how it works. Like…..this has actually been a thing that activists have had to bring up, in lots of states there are people activizing and requesting initiatives to free marijuana offenders if the state legalizes. Guess you learn something new every day? Lol that’s LITERALLY how it works lmfao you’re making it seem like it was my idea or something, and I most certainly didn’t say I support it, just saying how it goes.

@@jaredmiller8740 yea, they have to appeal, and that’s usually something regarding the punishment like for example when California got rid of the death penalty, all the ppl on death row were converted to life in prison. And she wouldn’t be compensated for wrongful imprisonment because she was found guilty of the law at the time. Some of yall be all over the place regarding who you think should be paid for what.

Oh okay guy.

FL already signed it into law this year

yes the fake lease portion is the most important part of the loophole that needs to be closed , otherwise all the current issues they're having will just continue , it only take 2 dollars and 15 minutes to go down to a public library and print out a fake leasing agreement.

Aren’t there already laws that do that?

@@chavvy9074 I believe Florida is the only state to adopt laws to specifically fight squatters.

@@CrainialCommando isn’t a squatter just a prolonged trespasser? You can have them trespassed at any time if they’re actually trespassing.

@@chavvy9074 In reality yes, a squatter is a prolonged trespasser but to lawfully remove them they must be evicted just like a landlord/tenant civil case would be handled. The police won't remove them citing "it's a civil matter".

Wow! I didn’t know that! Shout it out everywhere! Thank you!

The thing is it wasn’t just “Wilderness”. It was inhabited by Native Americans and the government actually benefited with having squatters as cannon fodder so that if Natives contested the squatting then the US would use it as an excuse to break treaties and seize even more territory from tribal lands either by military force or bureaucracy.

Squatter's rights do apply to abandoned properties but in most states the property has to be abandoned for many years. If the property owner sets foot on the property it resets the clock.

@@lewie5913 Really is a separate discussion, but all the same, you and I actually agree: If person occupies property that belongs to another person without an agreement between those parties - or in violation of an agreement between those parties - the claim of the occupying party should not be recognized.

CLEARLY pople don’t know history and why squatter’s rights arose in the first place. Long story short in medieval Europe when people were serfs, someone would own the land and never use it so when peasants would live there for a long time they got “adverse possession”. So basically after this concept has existed for 800 years, serfs (that’s you) are arguing that the rich people should have all the land, and then when Bill Gates and Blackrock own the whole country and they can’t own houses they’re gonna complain. Give it 25 years.

These laws are actually attacking Tenants rights, squatters rights is a whole different thing that says if you spent over a decade improving and maintaining property someone who abandoned that property, or their kids, can't just come and take it from you, there are cases where a home was illegally sold 80 years ago but squatters rights protect the tenant in those cases. These laws are written to circumvent the eviction process instead of streamlining it or funding it. The end result will be that landlords can remove legal tenants on the spot.

Do it yourself and tell no one.....any third party can and probably will blackmail you afterwards. Trust no one...

@@FC-qe1wl Midnight gardening is a thing.

Make sure you're speaking to the godfather lol not random hoods

Why hire a lawyer when you can hire a wood chipper?

It’s amazing how many people want to demonstrate how little they know about the law and how they want to end up in legal trouble worse than the people who are screwing them over. If you get some professional squatters and you try to do something illegal to evict them. Not only will they stay there, but you will end up paying the money and possibly paying an attorney money and still have to go through the courts to evict them.

yes somebody else did something similar. his mother had a house that squatters took over and she couldn't get them out. So he made her draw up a rental lease making him the new legal tenant and then he could call the cops and say that there were people trespassing in his house. So basically, a rent tenant has more rights than the property owner.

There are ways to do this, landlords are just lazy.

​@@anastasia10017"a rent tenant has more rights than a property owner" that is for a good reason. This is about eroding tenants rights not squatters rights (which is a whole different thing on time-frames that last decades not months)

They are already on Tiktok giving instructions on how to take over other people's houses. the other thing about squatters is that the law allows them to make a legal claim of ownership of your property, which means they are no longer trespassers, and if they can drag the legal battle out long enough while living there, they will legally 100% own your property.

Meanwhile you can see the photos of the woman who owns the house still up. So a couple of days later when that person left the house. The owner and neighbors broke in removed the squatter stuff. They changed the locks and did the same thing to the squatter. And the cops told the squatters the same thing go to court.

They can do "repairs" to the house to strengthen their claim and drag and derail the legal process out for years and years until they can claim the property as theirs. Just a normal boring squatter case takes about 2-3 years to go through civil court to get the squatters out and there are no consequences for the squatters. The squatters know they have you over a barrel and that it is costing you money and they will leave if you pay them big bucks. So you are left with pay lawyers big bucks to get the squatters out or pay the squatters big bucks to get them to leave. And there are no consequences for the squatters - they just move to the next house and repeat the scenario. A woman here has squatters in her house, using her furniture and subletting out rooms and she changed the locks on the house and she is the one handcuffed and arrested by the cops. Another couple here bought a house and the squatters moved in before they could even move in and now it has been over a year of legal fees and they still can't get rid of them.
