There are times when we come across a story that’s so unbelievable it makes us question if it could really be true. Such is the case with Adele Andaloro, a 47-year-old homeowner who was arrested for trying to reclaim her home from a squatter.

In a previous article, we shared a video where Adele was being taken away from her house in handcuffs. She had inherited the $1 million New York home from her parents and was attempting to regain possession after discovering a squatter inside.

To her surprise, Adele found out that the home had been put up for sale and there were people living inside who had even changed the front door and locks. Despite her efforts to reclaim her property, she was charged with unlawful eviction for changing the locks without the squatter’s permission.

Now, the plot has thickened as one of the so-called squatters claims to be subletting the property from someone else. This person, named Kevin Ballasty, states that he has been paying $1500 per month to live in the basement, providing receipts as evidence of his payments. He revealed that a man named Jay had arranged the sublet through a realtor named David Dubon, who was unaware of the true nature of the situation.

According to Jay, he was also deceived into taking the house and is waiting for legal action to be resolved. He claims to be one of four tenants renting spaces in the home, having paid $4500, with Jay receiving $3500 and an additional $2000 paid to a broker.

Adele, who legally owns the property according to New York City law, found herself in handcuffs during her attempt to reclaim her inheritance. This unusual situation arises from the fact that squatters can claim rights to a property if they occupy it for 30 days or longer.

The entire situation is messy, and it will be left for the courts to determine the outcome. Will justice prevail, and Adele regain possession of her inherited home, or will squatters’ rights hold sway?
