it is a known squatter tactic, draw up a fake lease, and it doesn’t even matter who it is from and suddenly a “court” has to decide the case which takes months, and during that time they squat.
It is all part of the scam.

I’m just saying that it’s plausible that this guy was actually scammed as well to provide a cut-out for the “realtor”. It’s worth the cops following up on the lead.
I get that but how did the scammer landlord get the key? Did he break in and change the locks?
