Two alleged squatters are suing the owners of a $1 million duplex in Queens. They took it over, allegedly. because it has been empty since January. And now they won’t leave.
The New York Post noted that in the five boroughs, squatters have legal protections if they occupy a property for 30 days.
So where are these squatters getting the money for a lawyer? Is a lawyer doing this pro bono?
In early March, their real estate broker noticed locks had been changed after she found renters for the residence.
The broker, Ejona Bardhi, saw a man in the house. Then, several men exited to intimidate her as she tried to call the police for help.
Squatters Lance Hunt Sr. and Rondie L. Francis presented a lease agreement signed by Bardhi. These agreements can be downloaded online, so who knows.
Alleged squatters
The couple who own the home, Juliya Fulman and Denis Kurlyand, said the lease agreement does not appear legitimate.

The two ‘alleged’ squatters served up a $25 Shake Shack receipt among several pieces of evidence they claim shows they have legal rights to live in a $930,000 New York home. They have an Uber Eats receipt and a few other pieces of mail to show they were in the home since January. Their evidence is to prove their move-in date was in January.
Francis and Hunt claim they have a lease, have paid rent on the house, and have been illegally locked out.
They are accused of squatting and not paying.
Police told Bardhi the homeowners weren’t allowed to change the locks. They will all be in court on Friday.
And a NY judge will probably just give them the home outright... Because, racism and stuff.
What is triple s
The squatters should be removed by stretcher then taken to the morgue.
Maybe some computer forensics could prove that its a fake as the documents would have had to originate with her devices.
Still, a signed doc is pretty powerful evidence in law and the bad guys know it.
They need a visit from Uncle Nunzio and his crew.
Why would any rational person want to live in these leftist s**tholes?
Just like the 2020 election.
Shoot, Shovel, Shut up.
If they are paying taxes they have no rights. Squatting takes up to 20 years to gain actual ownership after the legal owners are gone.
30 days simply does not mean the homeowner was on vacation.
Woops, they need to be paying the taxes as a first step in acquiring abandoned property. Unless they took this step they can’t even be considered anything other than an invader.
A forged document has no standing.
Some police love to be so gung-ho, let them lose on squatters and practice no-knock warrants, clear the house with tear gas and flash-bangs.
If you fill your state with illegals don’t be surprised that they won’t obey the laws.
The owners should have bought Squatters Lock. I think Hannity sells it.
Perhaps you could squat on the squatters?
Is there no mafia in New York anymore?
There is Mafia in NYC, the boss is named Juan.
Beat me to it. Shoot them on site.
Here in Washington state a landlord is trying to get rid of a guy that hasn’t paid rent for a year and living in his $2 million dollar home.
The tenant recently was awarded a restraining order against the landlord, who now must stay at least 1000 feet from his own home!
Like to see them try that in our community. Forests, lots and lots of forests.
Yep, I work property claims. Knew this was coming.
Owners should do a 30 day eviction - they have them in NY
