Here’s how the News4JAX I-Team discovered a squatter loophole that resulted in a new Florida law

A woman accused of squatting in a Jacksonville home more than a year ago agreed to plead guilty and pay restitution to the homeowner. The plea agreement was made public at a court appearance Monday; however, Judge Julie Taylor said she would need more time to consider whether she would approve the agreement. More than a year ago, the I-TEAM exposed a loophole in the law that allowed two women to live rent-free in a home in the Hogan’s Creek neighborhood for weeks, while the property owner wasn’t allowed inside.
