New York Woman Says Roommate Who Hasn’t Paid Rent Can’t Be Evicted

A New York woman says an alleged squatter has been living in her Greenwich Village home without paying rent for months. "It's been over 14 months of pure hell, basically," Heidi Russell told Inside Edition. The apartment in New York City's Greenwich Village is just 650 square feet. Russell said the woman moved in a year ago and was supposed to pay $2,000 per month in rent, but hasn't paid a dime in over a year. Because of an eviction hold due to the pandemic, a judge ruled she could stay.
