As Squatting Epidemic Turns Lethal in Blue Jurisdictions, DeSantis Signs a Bill Ending All "Squatters Rights" in Florida, Period

The Bee:

desantistooaccomplished.jpg


The left is denying that squatting -- drug-abusing unemployed no-accounts moving themselves into your house, and then calling the cops on you when you attempt to remove them -- is no big deal at all.

Judd Legum
@JuddLegum

10. And the squatting hysteria is a distraction from the actual housing crisis, which a lack of affordable homes.

These people are drug-addicted layabouts. They have no income, except what they get from stealing law-abiding citizens' property.

When you say there's a "lack of afforable homes," of course you mean a lack of free homes.

There are a lot of cheap digs. These people do not want to work. They want to steal entire homes from people who do work.

John Stossell reports that this epidemic was caused by blue cities passing "tenant protection" laws that forbade property owners from evicting them even if they failed to pay rent for years and years. This law also empowered squatters to just break into homes and declare that they, too, were non-rent-paying tenants with a right to permanently occupy other people's homes.

The situation is so bad in California that vigilante squatter-eviction squads have formed to kick the squatters out. Technically these people are breaking the law, because California law says the squatters are the rightful occupants of the homes they squat in.

Hey Keith Ellison -- maybe we should go after the real criminals, the actual owners of the homes who make their homes too tempting not to steal.

Oh yeah -- that's exactly what blue cities are doing already.

Squatters were occupying a NYC apartment. The actual owner came to the apartment to clean it up.

The squatters beat her to death.

Recently, Nadia Vitel, a 52-year-old woman from Spain, traveled to NYC to clean out her late mother's apartment. She found squatters in her mother's home and they beat Vitel to death.


Remember, this is just "hysteria."

Ron DeSantis, who you might have noticed is one hell of a problem-solver ("More of a problem-eliminator," as James Bond said), decided that the squatter outbreaks of LA and NYC would not be coming to Florida.

He just ended "squatter's rights" in the state of Florida.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs bill eliminating squatters' rights in the state

In this video, DeSantis says that illegal aliens are posting videos telling other criminals how to steal someone's property and legally take it over.

Once again, he's not lying. The same Illegal Alien Influencer who said he had not snuck across the border to work, but to go on a permanent vacation -- on the backs of US taxpayers paying welfare for his infant anchor-baby daughter, who he called his "gold mine" -- is now advising illegal aliens in how to execute legal home invasions.

Although this filthy freeloading criminal is now officially an "absconder" from INS, no one is trying to arrest him and deport him:

Moreno was waved into the United States, given papers and a place to stay, provided food stamps and a monthly stipend, and begged on the street, making $1000/day. At least that is what he claims.

...

He is listed as an "absconder," but despite posting videos that show exactly where he is, nobody is interested in finding and deporting him. Instead, he is allowed to give instructions to migrants on how to steal homes from Americans.

Christopher F. Rufo
@realchrisrufo

It's worth stating the obvious: Conservatives identified a legitimate problem--squatters depriving homeowners of their fundamental right to property--and DeSantis immediately solved it. No fanfare, no bloviating, no fundraising emails. Just: "Problem solved. Next up."

Actually Ace, many do have income: income they get from "tenants" they turn around and rent spaces in the squatted home to. You'll be shocked to learn these "tenants" are often drug dealers and prostitutes. You can see some of them in the videos. Tell me those girls aren't prostitutes.

Which is so astounding that it cannot be considered an "oversight."

A tenant has a lease or some kind of agreement. It may be in breach, but it is - or was - there at some point. Not demanding some kind of agreement as evidence was so stupid it had to have been on purpose.

The "legal" ones counter-squat. An armed burly man with a lease from the owner, watches and waits for the squatters to leave for any reason and then breaks in and squats the house himself.

I think it is pure genius.

According to the previous post, there are 51.4M foreigners in the US and 25% of those are illegal... cuz we're determined to hew as close as possible to that "only 10M illegals" lie they've been telling us since the 80s. Anyway, I'm willing to bet that if were to remove a significant number of those individuals that it would free up a whole slew of "affordable homes"... some of which might even still be livable.

First, every squatter, and there are thousands of them, takes a home out of the market, so it is a crisis.

Second, the lack of affordable homes is mostly caused by unfettered immigration and a government that has ruined the economy by printing money like wallpaper.

58 We lack affordable homes because Democrats freed tens of thousands of criminals from their rightful homes in prison, and then started paying their rent. That worked so well they did it with 10 million illegals.

Democrats also built affordable homes at the cost of millions a piece, which shows they don't care about providing homes, they just care about embezzling money.

Yes. This. The problem isn't so much squatters rights -- although that is a problem -- but tenant rights.

What happens even in most squatting situations is that the squatters fake up a lease and claim they had a deal with the prior owner or whoever. When the cops show up, the squatters show the cops the lease. It then becomes a housing court issue. You can take away all the "squatters rights" laws in the world, but you'll still have the situation of scammers showing fake leases.

And it's very easy to fake a lease. Most residential leases are basically forms anyway. Just download a for and plug in your name. Done.

And then the courts will challenge that it is actually your signature.

This will lead to, for example, a demonstrable policy of having all lease agreements notarized. Add yet more "compliance costs" to everything.

80 Squatters "rights" or adverse possession was a useful process at one time, but that's long, long past. It goes back to Roman times and was mostly associated with farming and food production. Due to various diseases and wars, many farms sat vacant due to the occupants perishing from disease or violence. In order to keep the farms in operation, they allowed individuals to step in and get the farm up and running again.

Of course it has since been given all kinds of legal "justifications" and protections as well as new names (adverse possession)...and taken on a whole different purpose (laziness).

86 ... What happens even in most squatting situations is that the squatters fake up a lease and claim they had a deal with the prior owner or whoever. When the cops show up, the squatters show the cops the lease. It then becomes a housing court issue. You can take away all the "squatters rights" laws in the world, but you'll still have the situation of scammers showing fake leases. ...

Then Gray Davis and the disastrous “F your freedom” governator…. And by the time I moved away Hairgel Newsom was guv. In that time it went from being a purple state to a one-party state where the Dems in charge are more left wing crazy than you can imagine.

Police won’t help you clear obvious B&E perps / trespassers from your property, much less arrest them.

BUT- if someone steals a car, they will chase the thief to the ends of the earth, endanger the lives of a multitude of innocent bystanders, wreck and destroy the stolen vehicle and possibly kill the thief.

I bet if they were allowed to SWAT all squatters and destroy your house, they would be all-in on squatter removal then.

124 I was a real estate agent for a number of years and pretty successful at it. People often asked why I didn't own property. I would tell them the story about how I went to housing court once for a client. There were a number of RE agents there waiting fortheir turn in court. One I knew told me he was there because a tenant had punched him out and the court wouldn't let him evict him. That is just one of many sad stories I could tell. The worst are the ones where a compassionate landlord rents to someone in need and then that person totally f's them.

128 Portland's Democratic Socialists of America got a measure on the ballot to provide "free" legal representation to tenants and squatters in real-estate disputes. This would have been paid by a first-in-the-nation county capital gains tax.

Amazingly, the measure lost in a landslide, but it shows the direction that the Left is moving in.

The attitude of the Portland authorities is that any dispute between squatters and property owners is a civil commercial dispute, and getting rid of the squatters is your problem.

That has been tried, and for a while LL posted executed leases on public real estate dockets like ACRIS. But it was viewed as a pain in the ass, had no real legal significance, and both LL and tenants didn't really want the terms and identities of the leases open to the public. So I don't think anyone does that any more. But the idea of a requirement that actual enforceable leases get recorded somewhere isn't a bad one -- although it's yet more government involvement in private transactions.

Second is the guy who transferred title to his mother, signed a lease with her, waited until the squatters left, busted in, threw their shit on the lawn and waited for the cops.

He then produced the filed deed showing the owner and an original of a signed lease saying he was the legal tenant.
At that point, the cops can arrest the squatters for trespassing.
Cheaper and faster than eviction.

It's from the common law, and squatting CAN make some sense.

If there's a property not being used and you turn it to productive use, I can see society wanting to reward that- the person who USES the property gets ownership. The premise is to avoid people locking up properties and never using them.

And, once the billionaires buy up all the property in the U.S. and herd people into the "15 minute cities", we might want that law back, too. (But they'll have long since ended it, anyway.)

160 No, Sid. If you don't want squatters, arrest squatters and put them in jail and seize their property (if any) to pay restitution, then put a lien on their post-prison earnings until restitution is made - with interest.

That would put a dent in it.

It isn't many. Believe it or not most squatters are well organized. They will have the local police on speed dial and when they arrive the police are forced to admit that it is a Civil matter for the Civil Courts and have no jurisdiction. They can only intervene if there is obvious evidence of a crime (such as a broken window to get in etc.).

Posted by: Orson at March 28, 2024 12:24 PM (dIske)

163 Yes. This. The problem isn't so much squatters rights -- although that is a problem -- but tenant rights.

What happens even in most squatting situations is that the squatters fake up a lease and claim they had a deal with the prior owner or whoever. When the cops show up, the squatters show the cops the lease. It then becomes a housing court issue. You can take away all the "squatters rights" laws in the world, but you'll still have the situation of scammers showing fake leases.

And it's very easy to fake a lease. Most residential leases are basically forms anyway. Just download a for and plug in your name. Done.

This is correct. It's not the "squatting" issue which are actually very difficult to prove and generally take YEARS of use to assert, but Tenant rights.

Squatter and "adverse possession" laws once made sense. They originated 100s of years ago when a lot of land was available and some was deeded to someone who abandoned it, moved away or died, leaving the land technically owned but not being used. Someone else coming on the land and actually using it eventually become the owner. But even then, the period required was like 20 years. Not this 30-day shit.

Yes, but there are a non-trivial number of empty properties that are listed because the owner had to move for work or whatever.

And they aren't that hard to find. Just go to Zillow and look around. The ones where interiors are empty or "virtually staged" are unoccupied. Look for the ones on the market for three months or longer, not under contract, few or zero price cuts. That's your target. It's trivial.

The genuine ones got sidelined and pushed out.

The fakers climbed into leadership and abandoned their principles while saying the right things during election season.

However, the change is slowly happening (the ejection of McCarthy is a sign of that), mostly because the GOPe keeps shooting itself in the foot. How do you retain power within the party if you get 40 of your most loyal footsoldiers in Congress to resign in 2018?

Essentially, Congress is still fucked, but slightly less fucked than before. It'd be better to expect DC just got removed from our reality by interdimensional beings than for Congress to start being remotely conservative, though.

Posted by: Nova Local at March 28, 2024 12:17 PM (exHjb)

Heh. It's been thirty-odd years since I took the Virginia Bar but I thought it was 21 years of adverse possession. Guess I would have got that question wrong (unless they've reduced the time since).

I am fast approaching the point of putting some truth to them with a response, "Because they do not want you there."

The town next to mine is having a vote on a *massive* tax increase. A number of people have come forward saying they literally can't afford the higher rates.

The response from the oh so compassionate leftists pushing the tax increase? Then sell and movie.

Prospective tenant would drive by and see the sign and fill out an application on line with their SS no. and send deposit to "owner" claiming to be temporarily out of the country.

245 Squatter and "adverse possession" laws once made sense. They originated 100s of years ago when a lot of land was available and some was deeded to someone who abandoned it, moved away or died, leaving the land technically owned but not being used. Someone else coming on the land and actually using it eventually become the owner. But even then, the period required was like 20 years. Not this 30-day shit.

289 There was a funny case a few years ago in Berkeley.

Berkeley, of course, has the country's most draconian rent control and tenant laws - it is routine to have to pay tenants five figures to get them to move out.

However, you have a lot of professors leaving town or coming into town for a year or two for a visiting professorship or whatever, so there is a nationwide network for house rentals and swaps for academics who need a place for a year or two.

So, a left-wing Berkeley academic rented out her house for a year to a left-wing visiting academic, who promptly decided that he was going to stay in Berkeley, and was just going to stay in the house indefinitely.

Not much the left-wing Berkeley academic could do about that. I'm not sure how that was resolved, but I bet it involved the payment of a substantial amount of money.

There's an HGTV show about a couple of guys that are actually doing that. They've fixed up and gotten buyers into entire formerly derelict neighborhoods in Detroit, no thanks to the city itself.

Baltimore may be beyond that though.

Not much the left-wing Berkeley academic could do about that. I'm not sure how that was resolved, but I bet it involved the payment of a substantial amount of money.

Washington, which always like to top CA in idiocy institued rules that a landlord can't evict a tenant during winter. It will shock you to learn that many tenants simply stop paying rent in November. And by the time the landlord can even start evictions in April, they will have lived for free for 1/2 a year. And then it takes several more months for the eviction to actually happen.

And even more shockingly after this was implemented a bunch of landlords said fuck this and took their homes out of the rental pool. Which drove up rents and hurt the honest tenants who pay their rent on time.

Who could have POSSIBLY foreseen any of these unintended consequences?

I have never understood how anyone can say someone that actually owns a property can't kick you out. The dynamic should be the tenant has to prove why they can stay, not the other way around. The NY case was sickening. I have heard of blue state people going through similar bullshit. To the point where they either pay them a ransom to leave (because it's cheaper than lawyers) or they hire goons to rough them up.

Would not want to own rentals anymore. These little shits these days know how to work the legal system and get off on making their landlord miserable.

Posted by: Blago at March 28, 2024 12:47 PM (wMRY8)

321 @84 I never will understand how on earth anybody can acquire somebody else's property by law just by taking it over as circumstances dictate per state.

--------

It makes sense in certain circumstances. For instance, if I squat in an empty home, and after ten years the owner has never had anyone check on the status of the property, there's an argument to be made that the home has been abandoned, and the title owner might not even be aware that he or she ever had a claim to the property. By squatting, I put an otherwise "wasted" property back into use. That's just one example. There are others.

Squatting in such circumstances was recognized under English Common Law, and each state has different laws on the subject. But up until recently, those laws required a long-term (i.e. at least a decade) unchallenged habitation. The stuff that's being pulled now is nothing like the traditional legal form of squatting.

354 I used to own a number of rental properties. No longer.

My lawyer told me many years ago that the landlord tenant code that prevails in my jurisdiction is written so as to favor deadbeat tenants and sleazy landlords.

If you are a tenant whose landlord does not complete repairs and simply could care less, you have big problems. Just as does the landlord who has tenants that know the game and could care less.

I did have a deadbeat tenant (a skilled carpenter BTW who was not broke) who simply wouldn't pay his rent for months. My assistant totally coincidentally overheard him bragging to some friends about how he knew the game is played and that he had me over a barrel.

That afternoon I had his windows boarded while he was out and the door padlocked. When he called to protest I told him tough luck, pal, take me to court. It will take months and guess what, I have more money, better lawyers, and I'm going to make your life miserable.

It took months. In the end I received some compensation in court, but was reprimanded by the magistrate, who told me, "You know better, don't do it again."

This was circa 1995. Wouldn't recommend that course of action, but I enjoyed it then.

368 Trump should address the squatters situation-- immediately. Politically, it's free money. He needs to grab it-- he should do an interview, standing next to a squatters' victim, just as he did with that murdered GA girl's parents.

God knows it's a legitimate issue, & it has the public's attention right now. Everybody who reads about squatters gets a creeping dread of them moving into their deceased parents' home.

Also, red states like MO haven't done squat about squatters (pun intended). This is a state where supposedly conservative Republicans control every gd thing there is! What are they waiting for? I HATE contacting "my elected representatives," but I think I must make an exception. I have a condo I'm hoping to leave to my kids, and I can imagine squatters in it. It's not a good feeling.

The problem with those "$1 houses" in Detroit is usually all the copper plumbing and wiring is gone. The roof is usually shot, leaking water everywhere, and mold is pervasive. Most of those houses should be bulldozed.
The danger is not necessarily living in parts of Detroit, it is knowing when to avoid all the illegal drug-dealing and the armed people that engage in it. There are neighborhood in Detroit that this goes on in broad daylight.

If the squatter is not paying any of the property taxes then he should not be able to make any claim on the property regardless of how long they have been on the land.

The neighbors (mostly black folks) love these guys, because they take run down houses, fix them up, and keep the neighborhood from sliding down even worse...making their lives kind of a hell.
I don't know about them selling any houses for $160K, but they have rebuilt some houses and made a tidy profit. And they rebuilt one house and decided to make it theirs, and moved in.
They haven't found any dead bodies (yet) in any of the abandoned houses, but that is usually where dead bodies are dumped, in abandoned houses. Some of the houses were in REALLY bad shape.

416 "Squatting" was interpreted somewhat differently in the 19th century; congressman D. Crockett was a champion of what was then called "squatters' rights." A lot of land had tenuous ownership in the first US federal grants. A lot was held loosely by speculators who could not pay a tax, and were waiting for a windfall. And a lot of political connections were in play.

Left DeSantis with a list of bad choices such as denouncing what the Dems did vociferously which would aid Trump more than DeSantis, saying nothing and getting lambasted for not standing up to the Dems, or embracing the ridiculous Never Trumper DC Uniparty lawfare and claiming Trump deserved it.

Big Donors made things worse as technically there is no coordination between the no limits on contributions to a SuperPac and the candidate. For whatever reason, the DeSantis campaign never successfully cultivated small donors until it was too late. I would guess that even big supporters here for DeSantis never sent much if anything as far as contributions. Trump however has been shameless in courting funds in whatever way possible like his recent hawking of Bibles.

432 Sid, the Brezhnev era apparatchik that he is, of course offers a solution to squatting: make government more powerful and continue spending money we do not have. Sid is a Statist/Socialist, and to him Statism/Socialism makes America the paradise it is now, and it needs MORE Statism/Socialism.

(About states like TX that is thriving while running away from Statism/Socialism, he of course has nothing to say.)

433 The guy who posted a YouTube video about getting squatters out of this mothers house in California made one very interesting move ... before confronting the squatters, he got a signed lease from the owner so he would have at least equal footing with the squatters

434 Let me guess…no one actually read the bill. If they had read the bill, they would know that counties and municipalities are now beholden to build homeless encampments, AND to provide 24 hour security, counseling services, etc. in the event that the county has a homeless population.

All at the expense of the NON-homeless taxpayer. Florida citizens, prepare for yet another tax increase from your BOCCs and property appraisers.

San Antonio was quite the red city until about 2010 or so. It can change fast.

And just sit and take it instead of, you know, getting involved in local government.

437 Florida is Not New York or California the Sunshine State is not run by Small minded Simpletons and now there is Squatter Hunter and I read one of a Woman who got rid of Squatters by changing the Locks

438 Squat in my house? S, S and S.

And nobody will ever know what happened to your sorry ass.

439 nobody is interested in finding and deporting him
Nobody should be, at this point.
There should be some people interested in finding him and beating him until he self-deports. Or until he can't achieve higher than room temperature anymore.

You folks - *points at the AWFLs and Dems* - have brought it to that point.
