The Queens squatter who went viral after the homeowner got arrested is allegedly subletting the home to sub-squatters.
According to one of these ‘sub-squatters’ he was charged $1500 a month to live in the basement.
“I paid $3,500 to the landlord Jay.”
Jay was the ‘Head Squatter’ who allegedly served as the Squatting Landlord.
The sub-squatter, Kevin Ballasty, says he even paid money to a “broker.”
$3,500 to Jay and $1,000 to the broker.
“There’s nothing in my right mind that could lead me to believe there was going to be a problem like this.”
“We’re just waiting for the lawyer. That’s pretty much it. Like, I was scammed into living there. You know, I’m looking to leave myself.”
