**A: ok, then why did you close with him still there? Did you not do a closing inspection? When did you think he would move out? What did your Realtor say to do? You do have a Realtor right?
Guess what? You are now a landlord.

**A: no, your hired attorney should. You have already proven that you are not able to handle important real estate matters on your own.

**A: duh, he know's what you are calling for.

**A: DOH! What stupid advice. What if the guy is a serial killer? And anyway, that trespasser idea would not work. Why? Read the Florida L/T law. The guy is a tenant.

You don't have to evict him as he is a trespasser. Contact the local police about the 'criminal trespass' of the person in YOUR property.

**A: great idea. Give him a gift certificate for a nice dinner at a nearby steakhouse. Then when he's gone, change all the locks.
