Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new bill on Wednesday in Orlando that will allow squatters to be immediately evicted.
Before this bill, squatters were considered tenants and there would need to be a process to evict them. But now, this bill strips squatters of those rights.
In addition, the bill, which goes into effect on July 1, 2024, creates strict criminal penalties for anyone who presents a false document purporting to be valid lease agreement, deed, or other instrument conveying real property rights.
