Will Squatters Take Your Property? New Florida Law Says NO!

Published: April 12, 2024, 8:49 p.m.

\xa0Florida Realtors are celebrating a new law that makes it easier for property owners to remove squatters. It\u2019s become a crisis situation across the nation when squatters take control of a property and claim they are the victims. Florida has changed that, but property owners also need to protect themselves from the illegal occupation of their rightful homes... \xa0 ...You should also know your rights and the rights of squatters (if they have any) for the area where your property is located. If squatters don\u2019t leave when you ask them, you may have to file an eviction notice and take them to court. And make sure you have a lawyer who\u2019s experienced with property rights law. \xa0 The Florida anti-squatting law will take effect on July 1st. \xa0 That\u2019s it for this episode. We\u2019ve posted links to some of these stories in the show notes if you\u2019d like to read more about it. Just go to newsforinvestors.com. \xa0 I\u2019d also like to mention our live event on May 4th in San Francisco for people who\u2019d like to invest in rental properties. We\u2019ll have a total of six property teams giving presentations including two from Florida where the new anti-squatting law will help protect our properties! There will also be a cocktail party after the main event so you can get to know your fellow investors and members of our RealWealth team.
