Man goes over 20 years without paying mortgage, evading evictions along the way By Michael Ruiz A man has been avoiding eviction from his Long Island home for more than two decades after making only one mortgage payment and repeatedly battling banks and realtors in court, according to court documents. Guramrit Hanspal, 52, initially "bought" the house for $290,000 in 1998, according to the New York Post. It now has an estimated worth of almost $400,000, according to Zillow, which lists the home as currently for sale, "CASH ONLY." By skipping out on payments and interest, Hanspal has reportedly saved more than $440,000 over the past 23 years.
