    Good thing DeSantis passed that squatter law kick em off the property. Use to be if someone was getting a single piece of mail at that address you’d more than likely have to do a eviction process.

    Living in a shed has got to be extremely hard .. it does best living under an overpass I guess … if you got money for cigarettes then maybe give the trailer owner that . At least it’s something,,, I’ve always worked and worked hard even with a broke leg in two places … do what you gotta do to keep the lights on

    Oversight…..
    This is so very true. I have a nephew living in a shed in someone’s backyard now.
    People don’t seem to have money to pay for any necessities to survive or assist someone trying to help them out but they “ALWAYS” have money for alcohol, tobacco, drugs and…..lottery tickets. A
    Just doesn’t make sense to me.

Should have thought about this before you let him stay now you got to evict this person if you can afford it because it ain’t cheap and takes 3 months to get done GOOD LUCK!!! You gonna need it !!!’

    Sadly, this is the state of the economy where some people are reduced to living in a shed and won’t or can’t pay for the basics of living.
