Florida squatters. What's the deal?
A friend of mine owns a small rental down there (I don't know which part of Fla). Last month her tenant got thrown in jail and won't be back any time soon and his drug addict friends have moved into the house. Apparently he was renting rooms to them. She lives in New Jersey so she couldn't really watch over the place.
She says the police can't throw them out, the only way to get rid of them is to sell the house (good luck if it's filled with crackheads) and the new owners will be able to evict them.
I have no idea where this information comes from but it makes no sense to me. Does anyone know what legal rights a property owner in the state of Florida has in a case like this?
