In New York City, squatting has increased as housing has become less affordable. Tom Diana has faced an ongoing situation with a squatter living in his building for eight years. She owes over $250,000 and hasn't paid rent since January 2019. Court proceedings have been significantly delayed due to backlogs and the squatter frequently changing attorneys. Diana is unable to evict her legally, and even law enforcement cannot assist. The case remains unresolved as it awaits a new judge.
Diana's case has been prolonged due to court backlogs, attorney changes by the squatter, and legal restrictions preventing landlords from locking out tenants.
The squatter resides in Diana's building without paying rent since January 2019, amassing a debt of over $250,000.
