The Seattle Police Department has evicted two squatters, one of whom identified as an "OnlyFans influencer," from the $900,000 Queen Anne Triplex, according to a report.
The squatters, whose identities were not immediately released by officials, allegedly installed a stripper pole, put up Halloween decorations, filed for a change of address, and were officially receiving mail.
In addition, the squatters had begun remodeling the $900,000 unit, which included ripping out the carpet and changing the locks, per local news outlet Kiro7, citing the property owner, Leka Devantha.
"One of the uninvited... lists herself as an 'OnlyFans influencer' on LinkedIn. The couple is now gone. They left behind clothes, a half-eaten cake, and... a stripper pole," Devantha told the outlet.
"I don't know if she was planning on creating content here or what she was doing, but it's just scary to think that that's what they were going to use the unit for. They told me they were doing some plumbing and electrical work, so that just leads me to believe they are destroying my property one room at a time," she added.
Discovering the Squatters
It is unclear when the squatters moved into the home. Eric Poll, the property's manager, discovered the squatters had moved into the top floor of the Queen Anne Triplex in October. When confronted, Devatha said the couple claimed they signed a lease agreement for the property that they said they obtained from Craigslist.
Devantha said she tried to get assistance from the Seattle Police Department but was told that it was a civil matter and that she should hire an attorney.
"It's very clear somebody broke the lock, they changed the locks, and they entered a property that they were not authorized to, and now they're refusing to leave. You know, that's trespassing, breaking, and entering, whatever you want to call it. It's not a civil matter," she said.
Devantha's lawyer had filed a formal request to have the couple removed from the Queen Anne Triplex. The squatters were evicted three weeks after trespassing on the property. Seattle police officers were sent to remove the squatters.
The property, which spans 1,500 square feet, rents for $2,650 per month, according to the Daily Mail.
