Even celebrity tenants can’t escape the wrath of an angry landlord. Kylie Jenner’s famous on/off rapper boyfriend is facing a spell in jail when he returns from his idyllic break in the Turks & Caicos Islands, where he and Kylie are celebrating the youngest Jenner sister’s 19th birthday.
Malibu Rental Trashed
Tyga’s rental woes date back to 2011, when he was accused of trashing a rental property in Malibu. The landlord claims Tyga installed a stripper pole in the master bedroom (without permission), disconnected the property’s security system, and caused damage to hardwood flooring and a shower. He says he is owed $480k in damages as a result.
Tyga Misses his Day in Court
The rapper was served with a lawsuit in July after he failed to pay the landlord for the damages caused. He was due to appear in court, but he left the country instead. The landlord’s lawyer, Boris Treyzon, spoke to People Magazine:
“Tuesday was Tyga’s day to appear in court, and he didn’t show up. We requested the court to issue a bench warrant. The court agreed with us that Tyga’s actions have been not what society demands of him, so they issued a bench warrant. Now, if he comes in contact with law enforcement, they will likely detain him and keep him detained until he posts bond.”
Tyga gifted Kylie Jenner a Mercedes Maybach, which breaches the terms of the lawsuit, so the car is likely to be claimed back upon his return to the U.S., which could prove to be embarrassing.
