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.
