Washington state landlord Jaskaran Singh is outraged by a serial squatter who owes thousands in back rent and has repeatedly thwarted eviction efforts from his rental property. 'He paid for the first month two months rent and basically, after that, he's living rent-free,' Singh told 'Fox & Friends First' on Monday.
His refusal to leave, however, forces Singh to fight an uphill battle riddled with even more challenges to collecting rent. 'They are simply exploiting the system, and I'm not getting justice. Justice is delayed. I would say justice is denied. The judges are not ready to listen to me, and this is not what the American dream is,' he said. Singh took the fight to the property's doorstep, challenging the squatter in a confrontation caught on-camera.
According to KOMO News in Seattle, the tenant lost his job during the pandemic and is still struggling to find work in his field. Singh's attorney, however, noted that the tenant has new vehicles parked in the driveway. The next court case on the matter is slated for April 5. Meanwhile, community members have rallied against squatting in the area.
