Denise Richards and her ex Aaron Phypers have been evicted from their home in Calabasas, California after failing to pay rent.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Friday agreed to the landlord’s eviction request, according to court documents obtained by Page Six. According to the complaint, the couple owes $84,000 in unpaid rent.
The landlord also asked the couple to pay attorney’s fees and damages.
Richards, 54, and Fipers, 53, signed a lease for the property in June 2020 and paid a $24,000 deposit.
Richards no longer lives at the Calabasas property amid a tumultuous divorce from Fipers after nearly six years of marriage.
She claimed in court documents obtained by Page Six in August that she left home two years ago. According to the actress’ filing, she believed the Phipers’ family would be living there only temporarily.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum allegedly told Phypers that she would be responsible for the rent starting in January while the family was still living in the home and refusing to leave.
The filing says her ex-husband’s landlord had tried to contact Ms. Phypers over the past six months about unpaid rent, but could not reach her, and since their names were on the rental agreement, she issued an eviction notice.
Ms Richards also claimed Ms Phypers and her family had “caused significant damage” to the house and described the situation as a “chaos”.
In November, she was granted a permanent restraining order, alleging that Mr. Phypers had abused her throughout their marriage, which he denies.
Later that month, he filed a request for an emergency hearing in his spousal support case, saying he was at risk of homelessness.
Fipers claims in the documents that she was behind on $125,000 in past due rent and $10,090 in past due HOA fees and was at risk of being evicted from her home “at any time.”
“Unless a hearing is held, I am literally at risk of becoming homeless without a car or a cell phone.
“It will allow us to move forward to an earlier date and by entering orders we will be able to access significant amounts of funds that[Richards]controls,” Fipers argued.
Additionally, when calculating the total amount of utility bills for the home, past-due water bills to reconnect amounted to $3,543, past-due gas bills to re-connect $13,000, past-due electricity bills amounted to $12,000, past-due waste management bills amounted to $1,400, and past-due special trash removal amounted to $1,200.
