Mansion Renters Having Lavish Parties Haven’t Paid Rent in 18 Months

Tenants in Staten Island allegedly haven’t paid their $4,500 rent in over 18 months, despite video showing them throwing lavish parties, including one that had a red carpet for guests. The landlords, Irina and Michael Mescheriakov, told Inside Edition that they are out nearly $80,000, but they can’t evict the family because of the COVID-19 eviction ban. “They can afford lobster parties and red carpet events and DJs and karaoke going through the night,” Michael said.
