It would be more fair to say that “there is no evidence that he has contributed anything toward payment of this mortgage.“

Unlike many Trump-generated instances of “hype,” he has not even claimed credit for this. It appears to be just a rumor that got started somewhere and then accepted as true by people who want it very much to be true.

And the patriot act passed the Senate by a vote of 98-1. that sort of vote does not necessarily mean that something constitutes a good piece of legislation. As often as not, it is an indicator of a knee-jerk reaction to some traumatic event (like the murder of that lady in New York).

don't blame the reactions of property owners and the legislature/governor, blame the a-hole squatters who created the mess this bill is intended to fix.
I am not “blaming” anyone.

Maybe this “squatting” problem is real, and maybe it is just the latest “tempest in a teacup.”. We have certainly seen some nasty anecdotal cases recently, but I’ve not seen any data (one way or the other) to indicate whether that the phenomenon is a greater problem than it was a decade ago.

Either way, however, this piece of legislation just seems to have some problems, in that it tips the scale too much to one side in the balance between landlord and tenant rights in a disputed case.
quote:

this new legislation strikes me as a knee-jerk reaction and entirely one-sided.
quote:

Why? This is a great piece of legislation considering the growing trend of squatting.

I will not argue that in some states the eviction process is more expensive and time-consuming than it should be. To my knowledge, Florida is not such a state.

As a general rule, eviction lawsuits are intended to balance the rights of both the landlord and alleged tenant, until the merits of the case can be decided, including payment of interim rent into the court registry.

Feel free to disagree, but it strikes me that a process which allows for summary eviction of a person waving a copy of his lease at the sheriff is a bit more solution than is warranted by the problem.

That is certainly an inconvenience to your other tenants, but you do eventually get paid.

unless they are broke arse illegals.

If the defendant is a “broke arse illegal,” he will not have the funds to pay contractual rent into the court registry during the eviction proceeding, and he will thus be removed from the property. What is your point?
quote:

What if someone leases my beach house, which rents by the week, for 10K per week May 7-13, and I have a full calendar of renters all summer. I need the rental income to pay my mortgage. Now, my May 7-13 renter decides they just love the view, and wants to squat there until October. Without this law, maybe they do just that, and deprive me of my income and deprive my guests of their planned summer vacation, and my house goes to the bank because some dirtbag just liked the view.
Most places, you can have an eviction judgment in two or three weeks. The holdover tenant (defendant) can then retain possession only by paying the contractual rent into the court registry. That is certainly an inconvenience to your other tenants, but you do eventually get paid.

That system is not perfect by any means, but it is something that has developed over a period of centuries as a practical solution to a complex problem. it tries to provide some protections to both parties, until the merits of the matter can be resolved.

By contrast, this new legislation strikes me as a knee-jerk reaction and entirely one-sided.

The perceived problem was that Florida law did not provide this sort of “near immediate“ relief. Property owners had to pursue a formal eviction lawsuit to remove people from their property.

I just skimmed this bill, rather than reading it in depth, but it could be very problematic.

The property owner could demand that the sheriff remove tenant from his property, and it looks to me as if the sheriff would simply be required to do so, even if the reported tenant shows the sheriff a written lease.

The ACTUAL, contractual tenant”s only relief would be later filing a lawsuit for wrongful eviction. That private cause of action is all well and good, but it doesn’t put a roof over the heads of that family.

The Florida Legislature just passed a new law, and DeSantis did sign it.

Bill Text:
LINK

Reporting: LINK LINK

The bill was filed all the way back in November, and it has just now worked its way through the process.

if a property owner contends that someone is “squatting“ on his property, he can “fill out a form“ and have law enforcement officials remove the “squatter” immediately.

It does not seem to apply either to actual tenants or holdover tenants. It creates a misdemeanor offense if a person in possession of the property presents a falsified lease or related document.

it does not seem to allow the sheriff to leave the purported tenant in possession, even if the reported tenant provides a copy of a lease. Instead, it gives the purported tenant a civil action for wrongfully eviction.

in other words, so long as the property owner signs a complaint claiming that there is no lease, removal is basically automatic. The person in possession seems to have no option other than “after the fact” lawsuit to establish that he was indeed entitled to possession.
if Trump indeed did either pay this mortgage or make a charitable donation intended to do so, good for him. But did he? So far, all I have seen is speculation from a local reporter that he would be doing so. That sort of speculation tends to take on a life of its own. so, what are the known facts?

Trump was invited to attend the wake, and he did so. Biden, Clinton, and Obama were asked not to attend the wake, and they stayed away.

Tunnels to Towers (TTT) has promised to pay the mortgage. This is a solid charity, and there is no reason to think that they will not do so.

I have not seen anything official from either Trump or TTT, confirming the rumor that Trump is funding the payment of this mortgage.

I do not discount the possibility that someone started this rumor, with the intent of putting “public opinion“ pressure upon Trump to do so. What options would he have? A press release saying “I never agreed to this?“

Given Barbara Jones’ financial oversight role, would it even be possible for Trump to make this sort of charitable contribution/donation without court approval?
