Bellevue Serial Squatter Behind on Rent . . . Again!

Breaking

Bellevue deadbeat tenants Sang and Youjin Kim are late on their May rent. This comes after King County Housing Justice Project used taxpayer dollars to pay nearly $90K in back rent so the Kim’s could remain in this $2M Woodridge property.

Mom & pop landlord Jaskaran Singh says the Kims now have 14 days to pay or vacate the property. If they refuse, Singh will have to start the eviction process for the fourth time with this couple!

Due to the court backlog in King County, the earliest hearing would be sometime in the fall or winter. The question now, will HJP actually waste more taxpayer dollars to represent the Kims who are clearly taking advantage of the system?

King County Vice Chair Reagan Dunn just introduced legislation that would audit HJP and possibly prevent this type of system abuse. On a side note, the county recently gave HJP $16M to protect poor and marginalized tenants. It’s obvious, the Kims do not fit this requirement and no one is holding them accountable.

Reagan Dunn Introduces Legislation to Hold HJP Accountable

Legislation Introduced to Hold Housing Justice Project Accountable – Full Details.

Housing Justice Project

I’ve only scratched the surface here with HJP. Its tentacles reach far and wide in Washington’s legal community. But a reckoning is coming. Any King County CM who votes against Dunn’s bill better have an alternative to help mom & pop landlords.

Youjin Kim

For weeks now, Youjin Kim has stayed out of the spotlight. But her name is clearly on the lease and by all accounts, she is not destitute. According to the Forever You Aesthetic web page, she is a full time Licensed Aesthetician. So people in this household clearly work and are paid to do so. They just don’t like paying rent.

Protests To Resume

Singh says if the Kims continue to play these games and HJP jumps back in this process, the protests will resume and even more WA politicians will be pressured to bring change. Gonna be a long summer.
