Dan Krauth has the investigationSusana and Joseph Landa bought what they thought was their dream retirement home in Douglaston Queens. It's right next door to family members at the end of a quiet street in a neighborhood they've lived in their entire lives.
But when they bought the dream home in October they discovered the house came with something they didn't bargain for - a squatter.More than four months after purchasing the home, the family says they still can't move in and they've faced numerous roadblocks. The Landa family claims not only has Flores been living in the home since the former owner died, they say he listed the home online to rent rooms to other people."Long story short, he is still there," Susana said.
"It's very crazy, our system is broken," Susana said. "I never would imagine we have no rights, no rights at all, nothing, zero."
