Squatter Charged After Allegedly Taking Over $1M Property, Getting Homeowner Arrested for Changing Locks

Adele Andaloro was previously taken into police custody after changing the locks to keep out squatter Brian Rodriguez, who has now been charged

A squatter who commandeered and rented out rooms in a woman's $1 million house in Queens, New York pleaded not guilty to a slew of charges Thursday about a month after the homeowner was arrested for trying to change the locks to oust the intruders.

On Feb. 29, Brian Rodriguez forced his way back into Adele Andaloro's home after she had changed the locks, pushing his way into the house as she tried to hold the door closed, according to the Queens District Attorney.

When he claimed that he was a legal tenant and Andaloro was trying to legally evict him, police had no choice but to remove Andaloro from the property – in New York, it's against the law to turn off the utilities, change the locks, and remove the belongings of someone who claims to be a tenant."I may end up in handcuffs today if a man shows up here and says I have illegally evicted him," Andaloro told ABC 7. "I said 'let him take me to court as I've been told to take him to court' because today I'm not leaving my house."

The law needs to be changed to allow lawful owners to avoid punishsment for forcibly evicting occupants pending later determination of legal rights.

She should have been armed upon his return and shot him in clear self-defense when he pushed his way in.

The only reason he was busted is his white skin. When the illegal aliens start doing it the courts will look the other way and be completely protected by “the thin blue line.”

So, you are saying that the many non-white home owners in this country will not have squatters, or ill be able to constructively evict them?

I've seen videos and read news accounts of black owners having problems with squatters. It happens to many home owners regardless of race. It's a problem in poor areas having black owners trying to keep out squatters.

NY is so screwed up!

Someone just has to *CLAIM* it and they have more rights than the owner?

That is so wrong!!!!

Just another reason I'm glad we left that liberal dumpster fire of a state.

If squatting is legal then title insurance is a scam.
