Assemblyman Juan Ardila — who faced accusations of sex abuse — hasn’t yet paid $19,200 in arrears for a two-bedroom Maspeth apartment he used to rent, a Queens landlord claims.
In an interview with The Post, his former landlord, Anne O’Reilly, said she’s not afraid to take Ardila to court over the issue.
“I feel like it’s an injustice to me,” she said.
But Ardila scored a temporary legal victory last month when a Queens judge dismissed a case filed by O’Reilly in June when Ardila only owed $11,200.
He moved out in November. (wow, he was still squatting there after he won the election-JQ LLC)
The judge ruled Ardila, who was sued alongside unnamed roommates, was served outside the required 10-17 days before a court date, a technicality that won’t prevent O’Reilly from refiling the suit in the future.
She told The Post she aims to do just that to get Ardila to pay the year of outstanding rent.
“I’m a nurse and try to take care of people and I think people should respect everybody and if I’m working hard I expect everyone else to work hard — if they’re working — to pay their rent,” she said.
Ardila tried to turn the tables on his former landlord in a statement to The Post where he claimed he and his mother had been harassed by her.
“My mother and I moved to this apartment when I was 14. I was staying with my girlfriend but my mother has endured relentless harassment from her landlord, particularly throughout the pandemic & even left her without heat during some of the coldest days,” he said in a statement that included a link to a past 311 heating complaint.
“Experiences like these only reinforce my unwavering commitment to advocating for tenants’ rights and protections in Albany,” he added.
But Ardila, who technically was not on the lease signed by his mother when he was a child, did not say whether he still owed rent to O’Reilly until several hours after The Post reported about the dismissed suit.
“I do not owe rent,” he said.
The legal win for the rent-skipping legislator came one month after two women accused Ardila of forcibly touching them at a 2015 party while they were intoxicated.
Juan should be really grateful that George Santos exists as the worst elected official from Queens, because he deserves just as much press scrutiny and notoriety.

And don’t forget the other one. The rapist from Jamaica Estates…
He needs to quit being a democrat and join the party of no morals.
Typical NYC DeM0RaT !
Mainstream news is worthless
Ah ha ha, NY Post. Certified liars by their own admission. Who here is dumb enough to believe anything the Murdoch Empire says?
NYC will have elections again, then we can correct our mistakes!
The Democrats always support their Jackbooted thugs.
@“ The Democrats always support their Jackbooted thugs.”
Does he really wear Jackboots? Whatever they are?
"And don’t forget the other one. The rapist from Jamaica Estates…"
Yeah, Andrew Cuomo.
The Walls are closing in !
Conservatives see individuals. Leftists see groups.
As a former New Yorker I remember when we were faulted for looking the way when someone faced danger and cried out for help. When no one responded we were criticized for our indifference and uncaring response.
Fast forward to the present, attitudes have changed immensely. Now when someone is caring and responds to the cry for help they might very well be the one in serious need !!!
@#1 Getting a fair trial in New York is like getting good sushi at a gas station.
NYC the home of Bums and Hobos !

Lock him up !
Sad, very sad...
I don't get the obsession with this guy.
He wears a tie clip. Check out photo. I haven't worn a tie clip in years. And he shaves his head. You wear a tie clip? You shave your head?
The funny thing is, he will probably accuse this woman as a racist
Its ok everyone, the GOP is most definitely going to write a strong worded letter..
I doubt the Democrats "panic" about any of this.
Some people believe that NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, except every corrupt politician and agency.
Democrats have never been held accountable for as long as I can remember, and I'm 53.
Why The Dems Are So Silent About the Durham Report and End to The Russiagate Hoax ?
Chaulk another one up on the “Trump was right” checklist.
He will continue to lie about it. His whole woke thought process on this is "If we don't acknowledge this in court, it didn't really happen." His idiot sheep will certainly buy whatever they're sold.
The Blue tribe always protects itself !
@# 1"The rapist from Jamaica Estates"
What are you watching or smoking ?
MSNDC: "STOP GIVING TRUMP A PLATFORM!"
Also MSNDC, all day, every day: "Today in news about Trump..." Lol...
@"Democrats have never been held accountable for as long as I can remember, and I'm 53."
That's a little young to have Alzheimer's, isn't it? Try getting more sleep, eat less processed food, woke beer, and stay away from Murdoch News.
Democrats Make Lying An Art Form
What is Murdouch news ?
Trump supporters are becoming muslim, sharing values, fleeing fags, already accustomed to howling Arabs in their churches.
@“ What is Murdouch news ?”
Don’t worry about it. It’s something you can read. It’s even dumbed down for low iq people. Probably not dumbed down enough for you.
@"Trump supporters are becoming muslim"
Hmm, If you mean crazy religious fanatics, then yeah, a lot of them are. Not much difference between a right-winger and a Taliban type. All want to go back to the Stone Age. They hate women's rights, gay rights, or rights for anyone except for themselves. So, in that respect, there's not much difference between TrumpTurds, Jihad Joes and Zionists. Would the world be better without them, sure.
However, there are some differences. Real Trumpanzees prefer Ford F series pickup trucks for shopping at their local WalMart. Jihad Joes prefer Toyota pickups for speeding through the desert with a machine gun mounted on the back. Zionists are too busy stealing land, so I'm not sure if they drive pickup trucks.
Trumpanzees aren't all religious fanatics. Some of them actually don't believe in Bronze Age fairy tales. It does help with their brainwashing if they can believe that kind of silliness. The ones that aren't religious fanatics tend to be the very rich ones who like to pull strings.
A lot of Jihad Joes do believe in global warming. Maybe because they are getting fried more every year. For Trumpanzees, the IQ level isn't high enough yet. Evolution is working on it, though.
TrumpTurds are usually much fatter than Jihad Joes.
I'm sure there are other differences between TrumpTurds and the Taliban, but I just can't think of them right now.
@"Democrats Make Lying An Art Form"
Yeah, they really need to practice their lying. They're not much good at it. Putinists and Trumpanzees are masters of the art.
@"Why The Dems Are So Silent About the Durham Report and End to The Russiagate Hoax ?"
No hoax. Just no proper investigation into Trump Turd yet. The democrats want to keep him around for 2024. Just like they keep Feinstein around, they also want to keep Trump Turd around till 2024. Much easier for old man Joe to beat him or Mini Mussolini from the swamp than beat a "semi normal" Putinist.
If there is True evidence that Biden accepted bribes it should made public. And he should be prosecuted to the fullest. No one should be above the law. I don’t care what party you vote for because this would mean that he can’t be trusted.
@"The Blue tribe always protects itself"
It's a CONSPIRACY - I knew it!
@ Kitara said... Are you are in a Cult ?
When the law doesn't apply to the lawmakers, you aren't being governed you are being ruled.
The left is completely unhinged. Remember when Michelle Obama said "when they go low, we ho high"? That was the biggest lie of the century.
I grew up in Jackson Heights, Queens, and lived there for 42 years. I moved to Florida 18 years ago. I love living among normal people.
