Squatter assholes
NEW PORT RICHEY, FL (WFLA) -
When soldier Michael Sharkey was deployed to Afghanistan two years ago, he asked a friend to watch over his New Port Richey house. Sharkey and his wife are now living in Hawaii where he is currently stationed. They plan to move back into their New Port Richey home someday. But, right now they are fighting to get their house back. They say strangers broke in, changed the locks, moved in and they refuse to leave. "I want the people out," said Sharkey. "They're criminals living in my house." Sharkey was shocked to find out that the Pasco County Sheriff's Office says it can't do anything about the squatters. View Quote |

How long does it take to evict residential tenants in FL?
As usual law abiding tax payers get fucked in the ass. He's gotta spend time and money on doing the formal eviction. I guarantee there will be damage to his home which he will never recover from these fucksticks. |

Florida?
What squatters? Gators gotta eat, same as worms <spit> |

Should be legal to shoot them. They're trespassers.

How long do the squatters have to be there before they go from trespassers (who you could just shoot) to tenants (who you must evict legally)?
Also, why can't they be arrested for vandalism for changing the locks? |

My head is so full of fuck right now. How can any of this be justified, even by the most bleeding heart of liberals?
ETA: I'd break back into my own home, and change the locks. Then, shoot if anyone tries to enter. |

Never has "SSS" been a more apt piece of advice than when dealing with squatters.

So exactly how long of an amount of time must pass. Where burglary/ B&E morphs into "nothing we can do about it."
I mean if I watch your whole family leave for four hours for a dinner and and movie, then break in and change the locks. Will the cops say "nothing we can do about it"? |

Quoted: But then the liberal outrage would be massive View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Evict them by force, how fucking hard is it? But then the liberal outrage would be massive Liberal outrage is not the issue. It's a civil matter. Police don't have the authority to decide who is a legitimate occupant and who is a squatter. If a physical altercation takes place, it becomes a criminal matter and police will get involved. Because the police don't know who is who, they have to treat the apparent aggressor as an attacker. All a homeowner can do in the short run is have utilities shut off, then lawyer up and start the lengthy process of eviction. |

Why can't the Sheriff do anything about it? Would it require him to get off his ass, or would it conflict with his nap schedule?

Considering the value of houses, why wouldn't it be grand theft?

They're trespassing and stealing utilities. Hit up lowe's for a set of new locks Break into house Drag those motherfuckers out into the front lawn Start changing locks If they want to come back in, beat them until they decide outside is better than inside |

Hire lawyer. Sue evict shitheels. Win case. Get house back. FIFY. And then sue them for damages after they tear the house up during the pre-eviction process. Sue the people who probably don't have much to begin with and apparently don't have an actual legal address to find them at? |

"Officer, I just came back from the war. Wen't home to my house to do some upkeep before I start making babies with the misses in our beautiful Florida escape. The lock was malfunctioning on my door, so I wen't in through the window. As I was making my rounds through the house remembering all of the great memories I had before the war(those memories kept me sane in that foxhole all those nights). Suddenly, a strange figure appeared around the corner! It started coming at me! My training kicked in and i rang out 3 shots. Then 2 more strangers appeared and i shot them too. Such a tragedy! Just happy i am now home safe."

This would make an interesting case study of the castle doctrine law. Can he break into his own house and shoot the squatters since he did not invite them into his home and they are not there legally?

Learn their schedule. When you know they are going to be gone a few hours hire a crew to move all their shit out onto the sidewalk and change the locks. When the cops show up later on show them your ownership papers. Cops tell squatters tgere is nothing they can do about it.
Win. |

The sheriff is ignorant, lazy, or cowardly. They don't have to be evicted. They aren't tenants. They are burglars, the object of the theft being the home. Soldier should go home, kick in the door and do what Florida law says you can do to burglars.

Quoted: ...Shooting people for tresspassing is illegal in most places. One place it isn't is inside your home. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile View Quote I suggest you read up on your state's self-defense laws, including changes passed last year. In Ohio a defendant has to prove that use of force was required in the situation, by a preponderance of evidence. In MY state the Castle Doctrine law applies inside one's home automatically only if someone forces his way in while you are there. Coming home and finding someone camped out in your living room is unlikely to fly as an automatic justification for use of deadly force in most states. |

After 20 years of open, notorious, and adverse occupancy, they can acquire title, but they acquire no rights in the meantime. |
