America's most famous squatter is finally evicted! Long Island man, 52, who went more than two DECADES without paying a penny on his mortgage is given the boot
  • Guramrit Hanspal, 52, was evicted from his Long Island home on Friday after living in it for 23 years without paying rent
  • Nassau County Sheriff's deputies came to the house with movers and a locksmith before 8 am on Friday
  • Hanspal avoided paying his mortgage for over two decades with four lawsuits, seven bankruptcies, and claiming financial hardships due to Covid
  • Three different owners have tried to kick Hanspal from the home since he was foreclosed upon in 2000 but he has managed to avoid eviction numerous times
  • The home is currently owned by Diamond Ridge Partners who have a sale pending on the house which was listed for $399,000

His lawyer said it best:

William Friedman, a lawyer who represented Hanspal, insisted that his client did nothing wrong but capitalized on a broken system.
'This is the great American legal system … a man can stay in a house with one mortgage payment and he did not do anything illegal in all those 23 years,' he said.
'He's the poster child for a system that has failed,' he continued.
'He took advantage of the system, he used it and you're blaming him for being bad for using the system. I don't buy that. … He's not a bad guy. The system is bad. He played by the rules. The system is completely broken. Every damn bit of it.'

I read about this last night. Unbelievable how he got away with that for more than 2 decades. His lawyer isn't totally wrong. The system is broken or this wouldn't have happened for 23 years, but the dude was most definitely wrong in gaming the broken system.

I always figured, if I ever wanted to evict a squatter, a baseball bat would work.
