Donald Trump's Son-in-Law Evicts Predatory Subletter From His East Village Building

MANHATTAN, NY — Retired teacher Joy Keithline had sublet her $600-a-month rent-stabilized East Village studio for $1,000 a month to a 61-year-old woman named Jeanne DiCarlo since 2012. This scam was going fine until Keithline kicked DiCarlo out in March 2016 on the exact day DiCarlo was scheduled for surgery for breast cancer, the New York Post reports.

Little did Keithline know that the owner of her building, Donald Trump's son-in-law and famous anti-semitic-tweet defender Jared Kushner, would eventually evict her for pulling such a jerk move.

DiCarlo told the Post she had to cancel her surgeries when she was evicted from her East Fourth Street apartment. She said she wasn't sure why she was evicted when she was, but suspects that Kushner offered Keithline a buyout. Keithline was fined $25,000 in housing court, but DiCarlo was still going to be evicted per a housing judge's orders because she didn't hold a lease on the apartment.

Here's where the Post came in. They called Kushner's lawyer last week and got a statement from Kushner Companies saying Keithline should be evicted and DiCarlo should be able to stay in the apartment.

"Ms. Keithline's deplorable actions have no place in our building," James Yolles, a spokesman for Kushner Companies, told the Post. "We are outraged that Ms. DiCarlo was being taken advantage of. We're working swiftly not only to remove Ms. Keithline through the legal process, but also to ensure that Ms. DiCarlo can live in the unit."

Gothamist mentioned that the Post endorsed Donald Trump, so there's a chance they could be doing damage control for Kushner.
