In a move that is music to investment property owners' ears, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed one of America's strictest anti-squatter laws. The new legislation will make it much easier for landlords and property owners to rid their property of squatters — people who move into vacant properties without permission and stay long enough to acquire legal privileges known as "squatters' rights." Aside from having their property hit by a natural disaster, most real estate investors will tell you that the scariest scenario they can imagine is having their property occupied by a squatter.
