R Kelly Sued Over Trashed Rental Homes


Back in February R&B singer R. Kelly was evicted from two rental homes in Atlanta [click here if you missed that].

Now Kellz is being sued for trashing both the properties...

  From The AJC
An East Point-based property management company is suing R. Kelly for damages to two homes he rented near Johns Creek.
The suit claims Kelly owes the property management company $203,400 for damages to the two homes he rented from it...a 23-room house on Old Homestead Trail that covered more than 9,000 square feet, and a four-bedroom home on Saint Devon Crossing.
Documents in the lawsuit show that Kelly signed a lease agreement for the Saint Devon Crossing home from July 25, 2017 to July 31, 2018, agreeing to a rent of $3,000 per month. Similar documents show he began renting the home on Old Homestead Trail on Jan. 18, 2015, agreeing to a monthly rent of $10,000.
According to the suit, the damages to the Old Homestead Trail house were so severe that the company was unable to re-lease it. The company claims that there was extensive damage to electrical work in the home and it would have to refinish flooring and carpet in many of the rooms. There were also two broken windows, and items such as a stove, bedroom furniture, pillows, a table, six mirrors, 22 light fixtures and ceiling fans were missing. The suit claims that the theatre, fitness room, cigar room, study, bathrooms, first floor kitchen and living room were all damaged.
