Dallas Cowboys star cornerback Trevon Diggs is finding himself in some hot legal water right now, facing a lawsuit of "up to" $250,000 for unpaid rent and property damage by landlord Rose Marie Yadegar.
According to The New York Post:
"The defensive back entered into a one-year lease in March of 2022 for $5,500 a month. Diggs is accused of only paying the first month on time.
The landlord claimed Diggs owes $33,500 in past due rent plus late fees, $3,400 in repairs, as well as carpet cleaning and lawn maintenance fees."
Diggs was evicted in July but the landlord has not found a new tenant for the property. The landlord is claiming Diggs also owes $2,500 in eviction fees, and $11,000 for the final two months of the lease.
According to Scott Becker, who is Diggs' lawyer, this is due to a misunderstanding.
“This appears to stem from some misunderstanding or miscommunication going on with this rental property that ended sometime last year,” Becker said.
“He thought this matter was completely resolved,” Becker said. “So, to have this situation arise out of the blue was a bit of a shock to him … We certainly feel badly for her if that’s the case that there’s damage to the property. My client didn’t cause that damage and we look forward to working it out with her … [When you are successful], you become a target for things and that may be happening here.”
