Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler has been slapped with a lawsuit for unpaid rent and damages concerning a luxury home in Miami Beach, FL that he leased.
In a suit filed last week in Florida’s 11th Circuit Court, Five Star Marketing and Promotions allege that the former Miami Heat star did pay months at &130,000 per month and also leftover $127,000 in damages. In total the suit seeks $257,282 and to be able to keep the $130,000 security deposit.
The home, built in 2016 is a 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom 5,936 square foot contemporary styled residence, built on a canal and also features a pool. The home is valued at 10 million dollars.
In addition, the suit also alleges that Butler changed the locks and then refused to give the keys to the property owner, thereby keeping maintenance personnel from entering the residence. Butler is also accused of not adhering to pool maintenance and the air conditioning, which in the case of the AC, allegedly led to mold that necessitated the replacement of some floors and ceilings
