D.C. Squatter Is Suing Homeowner For $500K After Getting Booted From The Property [VIDEO]

We are living in some crazy financial times with paychecks on idle, while the prices of everything going up.  Unfortunately so are squatters, individuals who occupies a property or land, often vacant, abandoned, or foreclosed without holding legal title, having a lease agreement, or possessing the owner’s permission. Unlike a trespasser, who usually enters briefly, a squatter acts as a resident and may attempt to claim legal rights or “adverse possession” over time.  However a D.C. squatter has done something a little unprecedented, as she is reportedly suing the owner for $500K after she got booted from the property.

D.C. squatter Shadija Romero is suing the homeowner who kicked her out for $500,000 for luxury items she claim went missing and for damages when she was put out by owner Rochanne Douglas. Allegedly Romero for years had a pattern of getting in D.C. properties, paying the one month’s rent that’s required to establish residency, then staying rent-free for nearly a year.  So after a fire in an apartment destroyed everything she had, Romero booked an Airbnb from Rochanne Douglas.  Romero squatted in the D.C. home after asking for an extension and offering to pay off the app, which removed AirBnb protections for the homeowner, and allegedly Romero didn’t pay anything.  Come to find out Romero was actually “getting evicted from that property” that did ironically catch fire and she “owed nearly $50,000 in back rent.”  Allegedly this is Romero’s thing but this time a judge ruled that Romero had no tenant rights and that Douglas could evict her and her property in the manner they chose.  Now Romero is suing because she is claiming in this eviction multiple designer items such as Louis, Gucci and Prada just to name a few have come up missing.
