Lance White-Hunt, a Brooklyn squatter, was found guilty of illegally occupying a home in Jamaica, providing forged documents to assert tenancy claims.
DA Melinda Katz emphasized that the priority concerning squatters is to remove trespassers, noting the especially egregious nature of White-Hunt's court actions against the rightful homeowner.
The broker observed changes in the locks and confirmed that the property remained vacant, leading to the discovery of White-Hunt's unauthorized presence in the home.
Despite the broker’s regular inspections and her functioning keys, White-Hunt's unlawful occupation escalated to him presenting a false lease and claiming tenant rights.
