PALM SPRINGS, Calif. – A squatter who’s refusing to leave one Palm Springs rental property isn’t popular among neighbors, or online gamers. News Channel 3 and CBS Local 2 reporter Samantha Cortese investigated Tuesday, and it turns out, this might not be the squatter’s first scam.
Rather than letting her quaint condo in Palm Springs sit empty during the summer, Cory Tschogl, a therapist working for blind veterans in San Francisco, used the popular rental site ‘Airbnb’ to make some cash.
Tschogl rented out her condo at the Palm Springs Villas ll, located at 600 W San Rafael Dr., for 44 days. A neighbor — only identified as ‘Yoyo’– tells us the tenant is named Maksym Pashanin.
But after his time was up, Pashanin didn’t leave the condo. In a text message conversation Tschogl gave the ‘Business Insider’, she told Pashanin that the power and electricity would be shut off. He replied by nailing her with a technicality, stating that since the rental was longer than 30 days, he is legally a month-to-month tenant.
