The owner of a luxe Los Angeles compound is taking a group of influencers to court over the sorry state in which they allegedly left their mansion.
Multi-million follower strong social media group Hype House is being sued by their former landlord, Daniel Fitzgerald, for breach of contract and allegedly left their property much less nice than they found it, according to tmz,
The outlet first reported that Hype House creators Thomas Petrou, Cole Hudson, Mia Hayward, Calvin Goldby, Patrick Huston and Nicholas Austin have all been named as defendants in the lawsuit.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Fitzgerald alleges the young powerhouse agreed to a one-year lease in May 2020, but moved out five full months early. And in the seven months they lived in the palatial residence, they allegedly caused more than $300,000 in property damage, the suit claims.
The property — the same one the “American Idol” finalist once called home — is quite the crib: a 10-bedroom, 16-bathroom with six attached garage spaces spread over 16,000 square feet. The all-glass compound featured a movie theater, an “80-foot-long nightclub with a full bar”, a recording studio, a gym, a pool table, three sports bars, a “high-speed elevator” and a floating glass staircase. according to a list.
As a way of settling, the members of the Hype House agreed in writing to pay back Fitzgerald $10,000 in monthly installments over the course of 40 months, the angry homeowner alleged. But the influencers have violated that contract, too: The group has reportedly been paying them less than half of what they agreed to — $2,500 — on a monthly basis since last January, despite Fitzgerald paying them the rest of their dues. Notice was sent to
TMZ reports that the frustrated landlord is now demanding through his lawsuit that the remaining amount be paid immediately.
The Hype House did not immediately return the Post’s request for comment.
