A Squatter Refused To Leave Couple's New Dream Home

Tracie and Myles Albert closed on a $560,000 four-bedroom home in California, expecting to move in on January 31, 2020. To their shock, they discovered the seller, Hossam Boktor, squatting in the house, refusing to leave despite having received the full payment in cash. The Alberts, having used all their life savings to buy the house, faced a long legal battle to evict Boktor. Tracie filed paperwork to evict him, but the process was stalled by California’s lockdown due to COVID-19.
