    Florida's squatting and eviction laws
    My question is what are my legal rights in the state of Florida for squatters... my husband has a friend living in our fully furnished apartment for about 3 months rent free also utility free and has ask him to move out . He now refuses to leave and feels he has the right to stay without having to pay for any expenses.
    What are my rights and how can we resolve this problem , is there anyway that I can get the rent for the time he has occupied the apartment?:confused:
    Do I have the right to change the locks and put his personal belongings out (which are just clothes)?
