BROOKLYN — “I inherited this from my deceased dad 22 years ago,” Diane Glover told NY1, about her building.

She loves her home, but says she’s in danger of losing the East Flatbush, Brooklyn building to the bank because she’s behind on her mortgage payments by $30,000, the amount her tenants owe her.

"These people are shopping big time, it's unbelievable,” she claimed about some of her tenants.

One family stopped paying rent in September of 2019, six months before the pandemic even began.

“And I haven’t gotten a red penny since," she said. "Nothing, not one cent."

It's been a year since Gov. Andrew Cuomo imposed a 90-day moratorium on evictions, to help people who lost their jobs in the pandemic and cannot pay rent. The moratorium has been repeatedly extended, in one form or another, most recently until May 1.

Glover lives in one apartment and rents out the other three units, but she says two of her tenants have been stiffing her on their rent.

“She hasn’t made no repair that we tell her to make,” said tenant Kathy Robinson.

Robinson and her three sons live in one of Glover’s apartments. They say they stopped paying rent because the unit is in disrepair.

"She would start the job, but doesn’t finish," said one of her adult sons, Lavar Robinson. "She would never send somebody professional to fix it."

Glover says she can’t repair the unit because the tenants changed the locks and won’t let her in.

The dispute nearly came to blows. Surveillance video shows one of Robinson’s sons swatting Glover’s phone from her hand. They say she was being disrespectful.

"These people have taken over my house, right blatantly under me and I cannot get any help," said Glover.

While the moratorium has saved many tenants who are indeed struggling, landlords say some tenants are taking advantage of it, not paying rent even though they can, by squeezing small building owners.

“The law needs to change,” Glover said. “People are losing their home because of the system, the system is legally taking our homes.”

As part of the New York State moratorium on evictions, banks are banned from foreclosing on homeowners and small landlords who own 10 or fewer residential dwellings. It expires though on May 1, and many say they don't know what will happen then.

Glover says she’s contacted several elected leaders and no one will help.

She’s not alone. In our next report, you’ll meet a landlord who says she’s in danger of losing her life savings because of the eviction ban.
