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.
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.
NEW: New York City homeowners are embroiled in a legal dispute with the duo after purported squatters enlisted a lawyer to initiate legal action against them.

she’s lucky she wasn’t raped and killed and left in the closet wrapped in a rug like the other lady who walked in the new tenant invaders.
Looks like no more vacations.
Just open fire, until it stops, Metallica style.
Homeowners need to exercise their 2nd and this will stop.
When you see a situation like this–and there are more and more these days as we achieve more lawyers– you have to realize the legal industry has found a way to make some money creating it.
“esquires” WERE BANNED from DC via the Constitution, what “changed”? WHEN did it “change”? around 1948…oh, NM.
Its NYC, and color is all that matters.
In communism, property rights can be removed without cause, based on politics.
NY is no place to live, invest or run a business.
its another way whites are being dispossessed
and it has the Democrat seal of approval
These are freeloaders. My hunch is they are living off the government, and also collect money illegitimately from programs.
Omen? Dude has a shiv sticking out his head.
