Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs law squashing squatters' rights 

Every state should pass this.

can't believe this has to be a "bill" and not just an automatic ruling in court, if it is NOT yours you have no claim to it, period!

WHY do squatters even have "rights"?

Finally!!!! This is amazing and every state should sign a bill like this

Finally a law that makes sense!!!! All 50 states need to do this now!

ABC News should title their story correctly. Florida governor signs law giving rights to homeowners

It's just common sense.

This would never happen in NY because it discriminates against criminals

"Squatters' rights" is, and should be everywhere, an oxymoron. Thieves don't have a "right" to take someone else's property. I hope laws like this are passed everywhere.

YOU GO Governor!! They ALL should stand up as you are!!! True Leadership. Enough IS Enough 💯💪📣✔️

When are all states going to follow his lead and enact laws against squatters?

All 50 States need this

Great Governor!

Florida signs squatters bill while my governor is busy signing a "Strippers bill of rights" . Priorities.

ALL states need this law!!!

California has the worst governor in the whole nation and also history

Can we make this nationwide

THANK YOU!! It’s about time. Let’s take our country back one law at a time!

I still can't believe this was still happening. It's crazy that someone that owns their property can't remove people.

He has done some great things in Florida Put Disney in their place, stopped the forever alimony, now the squatters are out and toll breaks, gas tax breaks etc...

Thank goodness. Again, this is why Ron is the best governor in the nation.

This should be nation wide tomorrow!!

Well done Florida 👏👏👏

Why would they wait until July to implement new laws?! It needed done yesterday!

Hear that Texas?

Texas & all states need to do this ASAP!!

Nice job Ronny! Hopefully the rest of the country follows suit.

What such of bill so much needed,I’m not in Florida and I’m so happy for these news

This man has been the best Governor Florida has ever had. About time someone ended the squatter scam.

try to trespass and squat on properties in the Philippines, and the full force of the law will drag you out. im actually surprised that evicting squatters in the US is so complicated that owners get jailed for it.

Finally something not attacking people. How this was ever allowed to go on in the first place. Now maybe if the minimum wage matched the rest of the economy.

I contacted all my local state lawmakers to tell them Maryland needs to do the same.

I'm in wisconsin and love governor Ron De Santis

How is squatting even a thing? Wouldn’t it be breaking and entering? Trespassing? It’s private property. This shouldn’t even be a thing.

As a landlord I'm renaming this governor, Right On Ron!.

Now we need the rest of the states to get on board with a squatters bill. Nobody should feel helpless over their own property.

He truly is one of the best governors I think I’ve seen since living in the US since 90s.

This is something I can get behind. For all the country.

How does someone have rights to property that isn't theirs?

HE IS A HERO!!!! Come fix CA next please!!!!!

Sweet! Finally some frigging common sense! I love my state!

It should allow owners to remove squatters by ANY means necessary and refund them for cleaning services if it leaves a mess.

Only in the US would we need new Laws to remove someone during a home invasion and/or Property theft.

Great job

Great News !!!!

Every state should follow Florida.

This should be in EVERY STATE!!!

So basically to get around this new law, all squatters have to do is rent for a month under a lease, then stop paying the rent. This will turn them in to squatters, and the property owner will now have the long process of evicting them. As a property owner myself, this really doesn’t change the eviction process much. Getting a non-payer out is a long expensive process, as this is considered a “civil case.” The dead beat “tenants” can now occupy that property, and because that is considered a “civil case” police can’t be called to get them out because they are considered “tenants” and not “squatters.”

About time sombody did something. Hopefully other states will get off their --- and bring an end to this craziness.

This should be nation wide! This law is out dated and idiotic. We need to stop catering to criminals

Florida is so blessed. I've Governor envy.

I can’t believe people can just break into peoples property and claim it.

Thank you so much. This is a great step in the correct direction.

Should have been that way in the beginning! you don't belong there...get the beep out!

All states, no squatters 🚫 and please do something about the squatter in the white house!

Okay I'm sorry but if it's that quick to pass a bill wtf is everyone doing? I mean, our system should NOT be this BROKEN if they can just quick fix all this shit!?!?!?!

I cant believe they had to sign a bill in the first place. How ridiculous was the law before this

Common sense..and from Florida ! Well done, Governor !

Glad florida has a governor that believes in following law and order.

NEW YORK NEEDS THIS IMMEDIATELY

Should be a federal law as well. It would be awesome if ICE shows up in a Bear-Kat if there's more than one and backed up by the National Guard. I'm writing my representatives to introduce a Federal law to back up states that have passed this law. Law enforcement needs to work together. I believe this will slow and possibly stop illegal immigration.

Hip hip hoorah! You mean we are finally starting to return to the America of law and order? Yes!!! What I don't understand is why our government ignored the "breaking and entry" crime to begin with.

Pretty much the most obvious law in the history of man. What’s sad is this is presented as a big win. This confuses and worries me.

They have to do jail time

Florida had the best laws out of each state

Thank you Ron, need more politicians who will work for the American people.

Super ❤

Thank you for following us with this decision Florida -California

We are so lucky to have him

Libs: Ooooooh! He is so MEAN !!!!! The what's yours is mine crowd has to go!

What an absolute win for America❤

This should be common sense, not something a law has to enforce. Sheesh

Finally some common sense!!

My stolen identity is being used here to silence me

They need to pass this nationwide, don't know how squatters ever got tights. Its a weird perspective

For anyone supporting squatters' rights, you can always voluntarily let others live in your house, make a marketplace listing for "free house do whatever you want." the new bill is not stopping you from doing this. Let people who want to live in their house do just that, and you do you.

Florida for the win! Other states should follow!

Finally Ron De Santis did one thing right😮😮😮

Every time someone tells me to hate him... he keeps doing stuff that makers me want him to stay...

Elections are close! Make you a Representatives earn your voting, pass this law or leave office! This literally is a no-brainer!

Squatters are criminals who violate the fifth amendment and other laws protesting private property, period! Those who provide support or protection to these "squatters" should be punished too!!!

Isnt squattering equivalent to home invasion.

Bringing back common-sense!

OMG the first guy to make sense...see how easy it is?????

This is ridicules why is this a thing?? I pay for something it is mine why does someone have a "right" to steal it? This is nothing more than a replacement game they want to get rid of us.

Representing American Values and taking action immediately. Proud American at work.

Absurd, revolting rights

Yeah! Take notes NY state

house and senate should come with a bill like this.

Please come be Governor in Massachusetts

Why is this even an issue, this should be USA LAW!!!! Squatters have NO RIGHTS!!! USA should be ashamed

This is LONG over due, bring this legislation nationwide

This should be common sense

About time. Can’t wait until this is a national thing. If it ain’t your property, you aren’t paying to be there, or if you don’t have permission to stay there you got no business being in someone home or property.

Funny headline, “Squatter’s Rights”, lol. What rights?

De Santis!!! You are best Govanator

Nice!!! I just bought a house in Orlando that I’ll barely occupy.

at least 1 governor doing his job....when will the rest follow???? This is insane!

Finally a state with common sense.

Thieves don't have rights now? Oh no!
