Kevin Federline accused of trashing rental home, not paying rent

fp_3413732_federline_kevin_fp6_081509

Kevin Federline must be going broke. According to his former landlords, he owes over $100,000 in back rent. In addition, he trashed their Tarzana, CA home. There were cigarette butts left all over the place – even up in the gutters – along with beer bottles. The glass on several of the lampposts has been broken, screens were ripped and torn, electrical wiring was exposed – probably in the process of dismantling the smoke detectors, which was also noted. The foliage around the home was all dead because K-Fed didn’t water it, and there’s a lot of damage to the back patio and pool area. So K-Fed basically lived in their house, didn’t pay rent, and beat the shit out of it. Just when you think the guy’s maybe matured a bit, you remember that no, he’s still K-Fed.

It’s all over the Tarzana, California home where K-Fed lived until this past May — the people who own the pad claim Federline suddenly disappeared without paying his last 6 months in rent. But the worst part — the owners claim Federline turned their home into a cigarette-riddled, spit-stained dump.

Now, the owners have fired off a nasty letter to the wannabe rapper, demanding $110,661 in unpaid rent and damages which include:

– Gutters full of cigarette butts and empty beer bottles
– A broken beer dispenser on the barbecue island
– Permanent spit marks on exterior paint
– Broken light covers
– Bent light posts
– Broken tiles
– Dead trees and plants due to failure to water
– Drawings all over the walls
– A room that was turned into a studio (without the owners’ permission)
– Broken dishwasher … with broken baskets
– Dismantled smoke detectors
– Front driveway oil-leak damage
– Master bathroom windows tinted (without owners’ permission)

… and last but certainly not least — the owners claim K-Fed made off without returning the GARAGE DOOR OPENER!!!

In their letter to K-Fed, the home owners have threatened to take his ass to court if he doesn’t pay up … we’ll let you know if that happens.

The thing is, when you look at the pictures it’s actually not that bad. It’s totally not an appropriate way to treat or leave a home that’s not yours. But it’s not nearly as dramatic as it sounds on paper. There are cigarette butts everywhere and all sorts of filthiness that K-Fed should have dealt with. But the landlords also seem like they must be perfectionists. Which is fine, it’s their home and they have the right to insist that it be treated well. But in their documenting the damage and sending photos to TMZ, they took about 5 pictures of the same broken planter on the patio. There are a few tiles missing from around the pool. There is a picture of a swing set, and I can’t even tell what’s wrong with it. My only guess is that perhaps it wasn’t there when K-Fed moved in and he installed it without their permission. There are condiments left in the fridge! Gasp! Seriously, he should not have left the place that way, but it’s not as bad as you’d think.

K-Fed gets $20,000 a month in child support from Brittney, and an additional $4,000 a week when he tours with her (he goes along so she can be with their sons). So you’d think he’d have the money to hire a maid and a gardener if he wants to live like a total pig. Oh, and pay his rent. Celebitchy noted in an article this spring that the National Enquirer had a list of K-Fed’s supposed expenses and his spending is out of control.

– $7,500 for rent
– $2,000 for food
– $500-$800 a month on booze
– $2,800 for the nanny
– $3,000 for body guards
– $1,500 for utilities

So he’s got less than $3,000 for discretionary spending. Which would make most of us pretty damn happy, but with his lifestyle I imagine he blows through it quickly. I’ll also note that there’s no way I believe he only spends $2,000 a month on food, with the way he eats. Unless he’s gained all that weight from $.99 boxes of Little Debbie’s Cosmic Brownies (I sympathize), he’s got to be spending a heck of a lot more on gaining weight. Um, I mean on eating.

So I can’t help but wonder if K-Fed’s going broke, or if he just decided he didn’t want to pay rent? He’s clearly got some insane entitlement issues, so I think either one could be true. He might want to at least start picking up after himself.

    Jaybird you crack me up!

    I read this earlier today and was wondering WTF is he doing with all of that money Brit Brit has to hand over to him??

    Looks like eating.

  2. skibunny says:

    He looks disgusting! Dress your age and lose some weight loser!

  3. Anna says:

    White trash doesn’t know any better.

  4. Cinderella says:

    Anyone renting to K-Fed better get a huge security deposit up front. He can’t even keep himself clean much less a house.

  5. Lindsay says:

    I believe the food cost. Neither him or Britney are know for their refined pallet. You see more pictures of them coming out of a gas station with Doritos then you do a high end restaurant or even a real grocery store. Plus if he sets half the money aside for his kids he can get 33 things of the dollar menu each day.

    If you are going to be picky, as is your right, when renting a house don’t rent it to someone with a reputation like his. Do thorough background checks and maybe try to find families with older kids or no kids, not two toddlers.

    I hate to defend this moron but I have see much worse. My father inlaw once rented a house to some people and they proceeded to cover the walls with artwork…a 7 foot devil/demon just to name one, which took 8 coats of primer to cover. Not cool at all.

  7. GatsbyGal says:

    Once white trash, always white trash.

  8. AlaskaJoey says:

    Isn’t that what security deposits are for? To cover any damages/wear and tear to property? Okay, missing tiles are one thing, and might be pricy to replace, and there’s no excuse for disabling a smoke detector with babies in the house.

    But, a dirty fridge? You know what fixes that? A dollar’s worth of bleach, a sponge, and rubber gloves.

    If these damages exceed the deposit amount, that’s the only acceptable reason I’d see for taking him to court.

  9. Katyusha says:

    He’s a dead-ringer for the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

  10. Hal says:

    This Moron will be trash no matter where he goes or how much money Britney is ordered to give him.

  11. Hal says:

    AlaskaJoey: Grow a brain, no one pays a $100.000+ security deposit. This wasn’t a mansion. Dummy K-Fed will be taken to court and ordered to pay for damages and back rent. That’s the only way this will be resolved.

  12. Ron says:

    If he was paying 7,500 a month to rent a house in TARZANA, he’s an even bigger idiot that I previously thought. Tarzana is a regular neighborhood in the Valley, it’s beyond me why you would pay that to rent a house there. You can rent a 3 bed 2 bath house in the valley for 2,500 bucks with no problem.

  13. Guest says:

    what will he do w/o brit’s $$$??

  14. Iggles says:

    Hal – not to be bitchy, but FYI:

    $100.000 means something VERY different than $100,000.

  15. dude says:

    Europeans use periods rather than commas to denote large amounts. Perhaps Hal is European.

  16. Heavenbound says:

    These two ( Pork-fed & Girlfriend) are two parasites, he is one Potato-chip away from a heart attack.

  17. AlaskaJoey says:

    @Hal – thanks, but I already have a brain, or I wouldn’t be able to post here! This damage doesn’t look like it adds up to $100K, so I suspect most of that is the back rent he owes. Yes, if you were raised to be a decent person you would clean up a rental before vacating it, but getting mad over cigarette butts is a little picky.

    I’ve never rented a home with grass and trees and plants – is it really the renter’s responsiblity to take care of landscaping?

    What’s up with his face whiskers??

  19. cara says:

    I swear to GOD!!! I have just had this conversation with someone I know, a smoker…NOT a midnight toker, over their “rights” to smoke tobacco against my NON rights to toke away. Tobacco smoking is the #1 form of suicide, albeit the slowest. #2 it is the nastiest smelling as well as non benefiting – aka, you don’t get irie, and #3…big fat #3….tobacco smokers, well most of them, pollute our planet with nasty, gross, disgusting cigarette butts everywhere!!!!! In our streets, our parks and primarily in our BEACHES!!! It’s a horrible habit!

    I’m team Landlord in this one. (and look at the guy, K-FEAD, he’s a pig of a human, he’s not even trying, so he can’t even say he’s smoking so he won’t eat, which is a poor excuse regardless. So gross.)

  20. HarbinsMom says:

    Betcha he comes up with some way to make Britney pay for this, since he doesn’t have a job or any money of his own. I’d venture to guess he insisted Britney get pregnant so he would have a lifetime income, since that’s what he’s doing, living off his kids. He’s a slob. He gives white trash a bad name.

  21. Squirtle says:

    Wow Cara, I get that you don’t like smokers but the # 1 form of suicide…give me a break! You know what else pollutes our planet, people in general, why don’t we just wipe out all the people so the planet will be pollution free!

  22. domino says:

    It’s a shame that the children will grow up and find out what a loser their father is. To bad that Kevin can’t help himself from being a free loader.
