Recently, a New York property owner rented his Hamptons home to a reality TV show and now alleges the
home was destroyed during filming. The homeowners are seeking unspecified
monetary damages from the production company amid their claims the furniture,
fixtures, and landscaping were all ruined by the reality tenants.
Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan also allegedly found herself
in hot water with a landlord. Lohan agreed
to let a Bravo network reality show redecorate the home she was renting. The renovations reportedly cost Bravo
$200,000. The actress has been rumored to have many financial issues with IRS, and
now some gossip columnists claim Lohan fell behind on her rent and was evicted
from the property before the makeover was completed. Perhaps the landlord should have conducted a more thorough tenant screening of Lohan’s financial situation?
While these landlords
might argue renting to a reality television show was more trouble than it’s
worth, others might disagree. Some rental
properties featured on hit television shows could mean big bucks for property owners. For example, the beachside
home made famous by MTV’s Jersey Shore fetched between $2500-to-$4000-a-night
after the show became hugely popular.
