Generally, in the United States squatters are trespassers and there are no laws that protect trespassers.
Florida, like other states, follows a legal theory called adverse possession. The law of adverse possession evolved from English common law and under it a person could take possession of another owner's property that was lying idle, use and improve it without the owner's permission, and with continuous use eventually could acquire legal ownership.
In Florida the time required to establish a valid claim of adverse possession is seven years. The trouble is that if you managed to move into property and improve it for six and a half years the owner could kick you out, keep the improvements and you would have no recourse.
