A suspected squatter who allegedly took over a $1 million Queens home is now subletting space in the house, one of the illegal sub-squatters told The Post on Wednesday.

Kevin Ballasty said he was conned into paying $1,500 a month to live in the basement of the Flushing home, with the deal made with “Jay,” who he identified as the squatter first exposed by WABC-TV.

Ballasty said he brokered the deal through a “realtor” he identified as David Dubon.

I wonder if Jay has informed the IRS of his little profit making scheme.

The IRS says if you stole something you must declare it as income. :)

I think the actual owner of the home was arrested for changing the locks on the “landlord squatter”. Unless that wire would be used to tie up the owner, the law won’t allow its use.

It seems to me a competent political party could use the fact that the RAT party has enabled squatters without any documentation to steal your home and punish you for attempting to recover it. Ownership of property is a fundamental right in the US and the RAT party is destroying it. Another example of Biden favoring criminals and invaders over law abiding citizens. If only an opposition political party existed to make this widely known.

Yes, where is the “Republicans pounce” article we should have seen by now? The party that didn’t pounce - like the dog that didn’t bark.

Laws should allow armed landowner removal of squatters. Okay, that won’t work in New York as they can’t barely have firearms. Doubly screwed.

Your fellow New Yorkers aren’t going to vote Republican as long as there is breath in their bodies. No matter how bad it gets the Democrat party has a lock on NY.

Squatters sub squatting out the home via a squatter broker?!?

There are a lot of squatters who are innocent people who legitimately thought they were signing a valid lease agreement. They paid out deposits and rents only to learn the the "landlord" was himself a squatter who broke into an empty home, changed the locks, and printed up bogus leases for tenants to sign.

Gypsies crossing the border are well versed on how to use laws of states to their vantage. They come here to see what they can get away with by using our laws against us...and there are many others like them.

The irony is they will soon allow illegals to have guns but not Americans. Ironic twist.
