1 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,640 I have a lease for this property. You're no longer dealing with an older lady. 2 00:00:11,860 --> 00:00:12,860 You know what you can do? 3 00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:14,120 You tell me. You can leave. 4 00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:18,460 Why are you standing so close? Is it worth it? I'm mentally distraught. This 5 00:00:18,460 --> 00:00:19,398 is unacceptable. 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,540 I just can't do this. 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,160 I told you to stop talking to me. 8 00:00:23,060 --> 00:00:28,220 I'm Flash Shelton. In 2019, squatters took over my mom's home. The sheriff 9 00:00:28,220 --> 00:00:29,220 couldn't get him out. 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,400 So I did. 11 00:00:31,630 --> 00:00:36,510 Turns out my family is not alone. Across America, thousands of homeowners get 12 00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:40,930 locked out when a squatter moves in. Now my team and I, we're coming in, travel 13 00:00:40,930 --> 00:00:46,130 across the country, confronting these squatters face to face. We're not going 14 00:00:46,130 --> 00:00:48,570 anywhere to help families get their homes back. 15 00:01:00,110 --> 00:01:02,590 I'm here in Brentwood, New York, to meet Maria. 16 00:01:03,370 --> 00:01:07,610 This could be a dangerous situation for this homeowner. She has squatters that 17 00:01:07,610 --> 00:01:09,650 are actually living in her house with her. 18 00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:14,150 Maria? Hi, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I wish it was under better 19 00:01:14,150 --> 00:01:19,650 terms. Unfortunately, this is what we're dealing with. So I understand you have a 20 00:01:19,650 --> 00:01:20,650 squatter situation. 21 00:01:21,090 --> 00:01:24,590 Yes. So you are living with your squatters. 22 00:01:25,070 --> 00:01:30,990 Yes, and this has destroyed my sanity, my health, and my home. So how long have 23 00:01:30,990 --> 00:01:32,210 your squatters been in your home? 24 00:01:32,430 --> 00:01:35,070 They haven't paid me rent for seven months. 25 00:01:35,450 --> 00:01:39,430 These people have caused a lot of anxiety. 26 00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:42,950 Mentally, emotionally, I'm at wit's end. 27 00:01:43,610 --> 00:01:49,330 I turned my basement into an efficiency room for my grandson who's in the 28 00:01:49,330 --> 00:01:52,190 service. So he was staying there previously? 29 00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:53,930 Yes, and he's now deployed. 30 00:01:54,350 --> 00:01:58,670 He said, Grandma, why don't you just rent out my apartment temporarily to 31 00:01:58,670 --> 00:02:01,050 make some extra money? He's coming back soon. 32 00:02:01,330 --> 00:02:05,010 I understand there's two people in there now. These are the devils with two legs. 33 00:02:05,210 --> 00:02:12,170 Okay. Okay, that is... And that's... Unfortunately, when I rented 34 00:02:12,170 --> 00:02:17,310 to him, we didn't vet him properly. I didn't look at his background. 35 00:02:17,810 --> 00:02:19,510 Okay. Okay. All right. 36 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,980 What was the original agreement? 37 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,560 One individual, the maximum six months. 38 00:02:23,820 --> 00:02:28,140 Okay. I didn't do a lease, so I just told the person that I would rent them, 39 00:02:28,220 --> 00:02:30,120 you know, month to month cash. 40 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:35,600 However, he had his girlfriend sneaking in, disturbing my sleep at 3.30 in the 41 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,140 morning, and then he stopped paying rent. 42 00:02:38,380 --> 00:02:41,400 So I approached him and I said, this is not working out. 43 00:02:41,660 --> 00:02:44,400 When are you intending to move? He said, in August. 44 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,660 August came and went. 45 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,560 We're now in March. 46 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,160 They're still there. 47 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,080 Wow, okay. 48 00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:55,880 Have they ever come up into your living space, or are you scared of that? 49 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,340 The bathroom is a Jack and Jill, where it has doors on both sides. 50 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,660 A connection between your space and their space? Yes. 51 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:05,880 Do you still have access to that bathroom? 52 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,160 He took it upon himself to screw my door closed. 53 00:03:10,420 --> 00:03:15,500 Okay. The thing is that the walls are very thin, and I heard his friend on the 54 00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:18,520 phone telling him, why don't you just bolt the doors? 55 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,480 And you could stay there for a year or two without paying rent. 56 00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,580 In New York State, you could do that. 57 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,600 All I hear is they're screaming and fighting every day. 58 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,520 I got on the 911 and I called and the police came and ordered him to come out 59 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,900 with his hands up. 60 00:03:55,100 --> 00:04:00,040 She took her things that she wasn't going to come back. At three o'clock in 61 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,200 the morning, she came back. 62 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,540 These are the type of fights and drama that happens on my property. Do they 63 00:04:05,540 --> 00:04:10,020 have a separate entrance from you? Yes, it's in the back of the house. So if you 64 00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:11,020 look at this photo. 65 00:04:11,370 --> 00:04:12,470 This is my house. 66 00:04:12,910 --> 00:04:18,310 That's the entrance to the gate that leads downstairs into the basement. 67 00:04:18,630 --> 00:04:23,550 Okay. We're going to plan on taking over your property. Sure. And one of the 68 00:04:23,550 --> 00:04:30,190 things that I want to do today is do a lease and create a vulnerable space for 69 00:04:30,190 --> 00:04:31,270 them. Of course. 70 00:04:31,490 --> 00:04:38,070 Okay. Because they are in a single unit, it doesn't allow me to move in with 71 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:39,070 them. 72 00:04:47,010 --> 00:04:52,930 So do you have any place to go while we're in your unit? Yes, that's been 73 00:04:52,930 --> 00:04:53,930 arranged. Okay. 74 00:04:54,630 --> 00:05:01,130 This has impacted severely my emotional and mental state. I'm unable to 75 00:05:01,130 --> 00:05:04,430 sleep. I suffered a mini stroke. 76 00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:07,130 This is affecting me too much. 77 00:05:07,530 --> 00:05:12,210 My goal is not only to get them out from your house, but also to prevent them 78 00:05:12,210 --> 00:05:14,390 from doing this again. Thank you very much. 79 00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:15,610 All right, great. 80 00:05:20,460 --> 00:05:24,860 All right, so we're heading to the house to confront our squatters. 81 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:26,280 Okay. 82 00:05:27,940 --> 00:05:30,920 Now, Mike, you were able to run background? 83 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,060 Yeah, he's got a decent criminal record. 84 00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:36,980 He's been charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, 85 00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:39,520 criminal trespassing, and criminal mischief. 86 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,600 All of that shows character that he doesn't really care about anybody else. 87 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,860 Looking at an older lady and know that you're hurting her. 88 00:05:49,310 --> 00:05:50,870 You have to be a certain type of person. 89 00:05:51,230 --> 00:05:52,790 You've got to be a piece of crap. 90 00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:54,110 Oh, yeah. 91 00:05:54,850 --> 00:05:58,870 They've changed the law, and the owner no longer has access to the unit. 92 00:05:59,470 --> 00:06:03,950 Yesterday, she put up a 24-hour notice to enter for inspection, so that's going 93 00:06:03,950 --> 00:06:05,950 to allow us to enter the property today. 94 00:06:06,350 --> 00:06:07,249 All right, guys. 95 00:06:07,250 --> 00:06:08,310 It's a lot of work.

From what I have learned, the police are 132 00:08:15,820 --> 00:08:19,560 always here, and it's never a positive experience for him. 133 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,680 That's the last thing I'm saying. Hey, I want to talk to you about you vacating. 134 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,620 We're not talking about anything else? 135 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,560 When I vacate, it has nothing to do with you. 136 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,820 All right.

Those doors are not locked. 139 00:08:41,260 --> 00:08:42,380 You don't need a key. 140 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,600 So are you saying you did not screw those doors closed? 141 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,160 Those doors are not screwed closed. Okay. So I will confirm that, and then I 142 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,160 will keep them closed. 143 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,320 No, that's not how this works. 144 00:08:53,540 --> 00:08:56,040 That is absolutely how the law works. Sorry. 145 00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:00,060 You were given 24-hour notice.

All right. 149 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,340 He's trying to scare me with his words, but bottom line is we have every right 150 00:09:19,340 --> 00:09:20,340 to enter that basement. 151 00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:25,500 All right, so I'm going to try those doors downstairs. 152 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,800 Let's do it. 153 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,520 Downstairs in the basement, there's a bathroom that directly connects the 154 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,440 squatter's unit with the main house. 155 00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:40,380 We're just going to verify that this door will open. 156 00:09:40,940 --> 00:09:43,280 And I'm checking the door that they claim open. 157 00:09:45,340 --> 00:09:46,640 But it does not open. 158 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,040 Yeah, I can. The door's not moving. It's secured somehow. 159 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,820 No. No. 160 00:09:52,170 --> 00:09:56,210 You cannot come in. You cannot come in the door. I am verifying that this door 161 00:09:56,210 --> 00:10:02,190 opens. The door opens. You're not allowed in my apartment, so you cannot 162 00:10:02,190 --> 00:10:03,129 come in here. 163 00:10:03,130 --> 00:10:07,330 This could go so much easier. The longer you don't talk to me, the longer I stay 164 00:10:07,330 --> 00:10:08,330 here. 165 00:10:08,850 --> 00:10:12,190 They're putting on music to drown out my voice, right? 166 00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:14,390 Have a good day. 167 00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:16,030 All right. 168 00:10:16,190 --> 00:10:17,930 We'll be here when you want to talk. 169 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,020 This is a pain in the ass kind of squatter. 170 00:10:23,220 --> 00:10:29,300 He's hiding behind a door, doesn't want to cooperate at all, and wants to claim 171 00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:30,300 that he's a victim. 172 00:10:30,980 --> 00:10:36,060 All right, guys, tried the door. He said it's not screwed closed. 173 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,620 I didn't notice screws, but they had something, you know, barricading or 174 00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:41,620 holding it somehow. 175 00:10:42,220 --> 00:10:46,200 I'm going to try to concentrate on her if I get another chance to talk to them. 176 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,160 He's difficult to reason with. 177 00:10:48,410 --> 00:10:53,850 Okay, so right now I want to be on alert, so I'm thinking we put a camera 178 00:10:53,850 --> 00:10:54,970 over in that corner over there. 179 00:10:58,090 --> 00:11:01,150 I don't believe that they'll see one hiding around this fence right here. 180 00:11:01,390 --> 00:11:04,890 So I think if we can move it right here, we're going to get the same perfect 181 00:11:04,890 --> 00:11:05,890 view. 182 00:11:07,390 --> 00:11:10,710 Mike, I want you to be monitoring this.
