The incident involves a squatter in a home in Flushing, Queens. Adele Andaloro, the homeowner, reportedly found the squatter in her property and called the police. However, the situation escalated after the squatter claimed they have the right to stay and simply refused to leave.
Despite Adele's ownership proof, she was later arrested for unlawful eviction when she changed the home's locks. Now, the squatter demands financial compensation before leaving, citing both property rights and tenant laws. As for the police, officers told Andaloro this is a tenant-landowner conflict they can't help her with, but will need her to take the man to court.
