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.
Juliya Fulman
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.
“The couple who own the home, Juliya Fulman and Denis Kurlyand, said the lease agreement does not appear legitimate.”
Unless it was signed by the owners, it is not legitimate.
Unless it was signed by the owners, it is not legitimate.
Unless the broker had power of attorney to sign on their behalf, and did so.
You have been on here 19 years and do not know that? Odd.

Squatters is one reason we only own one home. The other reason is not enough money to have a second home. ;)
You shouldn’t even have to consider that. It ought to be a given that you own it- it’s yours! Pathetic we are even at this point for goodness sakes 🤨🙄😑
Who knows? Maybe the Democrats mistook him for an illegal & offered him all the freebies he could ever want + a Democratic Party registration form (with a map & specific instructions on the procedurally appropriate way to commit voter fraud). Who would’ve thunk it? 2024 😑🫣😬
there is no mafia anymore because they couldn’t compete with government.
26 years.
Never abbreviated.
Drag ‘em out with ice tongs in their ears...
There used to be people in NYC you could hire to take care of these types of problems, kinda like ‘pest control’ companies only for bigger ‘pests’..................
The obvious course forward is to kill the lawyer
Deep State doesn’t like competition.
