The Seattle Police Department removed two squatters from Leka Devatha’s Queen Anne Triplex.

“Yes, it’s been a stressful situation,” landlord Leka Devatha said. “And I just feel emotionally relieved. Not just that we got the squatters out, but we are making the neighborhood safe again.”

Devatha is from Redmond but rents out property in Seattle. In October, her property manager, Eric Poll, called her to let her know that a couple had moved into the top floor of her vacant Queen Anne Triplex. When Eric knocked on their door, he said the couple told him they had a lease from the owner.

“They just said they have a lease from the owner and they’re not going to show it to me, and I need to do whatever,” said Poll.

First, Leka decided to confront the couple herself, who were defiant. They told her they would be calling their attorney. Leka and Eric called the Seattle Police Department but it told her she had a civil matter on her hands. They showed officers a lease on their phone, which they say they got from Craigslist.

They also had filed a change of address and were officially receiving mail. They even put out Halloween decorations.
