re: Big Ron squatters law in Florida first in the US outstanding .

As a person who has had to vacate a home twice despite paying my rent, I see the complexity that most people don't. In both situations, the landlords stopped paying their mortgages but continued cashing my rent checks. Having a sheriff show up to evict you out of the blue really sucks.

I would agree with this law, if there were criminal penalties for the owner if they lied. Not a misdemeanor, but felony. If I can prove I have a lease and bank statements showing I've been paying, and you use this new law to get me out because you want to sell or think you can lease it for more, or whatever bullshite reason, then jail time should be involved, on top of financial damages civilly.
