Two alleged squatters, who attempted to prove their residency with a Shake Shack receipt, had their lawsuit against the lawful owners of the Queens, New York, property discontinued after they failed to show in court.
A pair of alleged squatters, who used a Shake Shack receipt to prove their residency to occupy a $930,000 home in Queens, New York, have abandoned suing the lawful owners after refusing to leave the property for months. 'It was discontinued. Discontinued by them,' attorney Rizpah Morrow said following the hearing in New York on Friday. 'And it seemed to be that they did that because, apparently, their case was not very good. Their evidence was not very good.
We work hard, and we purchased a home,' she said. 'We want our families to live in safety and peace and all these loose loopholes that the squatters are finding, and the laws. This does not align with the so-called American dream.' 'There needs to be stringent laws attached to this,' she added.
The two alleged squatters, Hunt and Francis, staked their claim on the Queens duplex on March 14. The pair allegedly brought mattresses and luxury items, including a massage table and a flat screen television, according to the Daily Mail. Legal battle In a legal filing, Hunt and Francis alleged that they had legal residency in the home, promptly hiring legal counsel and began the process of suing Fulman and Kurlyand.
In some states where laws make it difficult for police to intervene, including New York, homeowners and landlords are left with few options to reclaim their property. Many victims are forced to submit to costly and lengthy civil processes. Fox News' Megan Myers contributed to this report.
