Queens Couple Battles Squatter in $2M Dream Home

Unable to move in, the Landas face legal hurdles as caretaker-turned-squatter claims rights to the property.

A Queens couple, Susana and Joseph Landa, are unable to move into their $2 million dream home due to squatter Brett Flores claiming rights to the property.
Flores, who was the caretaker for the home's previous owner, has been living there since the owner's death in January 2023.
The Landas, both 68, intended the home for their retirement and to be close to family for their son with Down syndrome.
Flores has declared bankruptcy, complicating eviction efforts, and has listed rooms in the mansion for rent.
A court hearing is scheduled for April to address the eviction, as the Landas face financial and legal challenges.
