Florida Realtors are celebrating a new law that makes it easier for property owners to remove squatters. It’s 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...   ...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’t 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’s experienced with property rights law.   The Florida anti-squatting law will take effect on July 1st.   That’s it for this episode. We’ve posted links to some of these stories in the show notes if you’d like to read more about it. Just go to newsforinvestors.com.   I’d also like to mention our live event on May 4th in San Francisco for people who’d like to invest in rental properties. We’ll 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.
