Evicting Squatters in FL.

[Ralph Martinez]

Hello BP

    I am a wholesaler in the Orlando Area and I recently got a house under Contract that has Squatters on the Property.  I mean these are deep rooted squatters in the community , they have weekend Cookouts and Neighborhood watch meetings and the whole 9 yards. ( Well maybe not the community watch meetings, But definitely cookouts. he Burgers were Delicious.) Anyway, I tried to talk to them and tell them they can stay until the property is sold as long as I can let buyers see the inside.  That did not work out so well. So I spoke to the seller and discussed getting them evicted. I told the seller that I would do the leg work and report back to him since he was all the way in Miami. So after many calls and Research it turns out the process is different for squatters than it is for some one who is actually defunct on rental payments, and since the squatters don't pay rent they actually fall in a different process to evict.

  So my question is this, Is there any one in BP who has evicted squatters here in the Sunshine State ?

you should be able to take the title of the property to the sheriff and have them removed for trespassing

I'm not sure of your state but here in AZ it is called trespassing and some of these folks get out the steel

talk to a para legal to get all the laws to play your hand

best of luck
