Hollywood’s ‘IT’ couple Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas have moved out of their Los Angeles home due to damages arising from mold infestation.
According to media reports, the couple purchased the seven-bed nine-bath home in 2019 for US $20 million. The property came with an indoor basketball court, an interior bowling alley, an entertainment area, a spa with a steam shower, a full-service gym, a wine cellar, and a chef’s kitchen.
However, issues started to crop up in the couple’s palatial mansion in April 2020 with “porous waterproofing” that “fostered mold contamination,” as mentioned in a lawsuit filed on behalf of the couple, Page Six reported.
Jonas seeking ‘consequential damages’
In April 2020, a barbeque area on the deck area saw a water leak that damaged a portion of the interior living area immediately below it, the lawsuit claimed.
Issues with the home have rendered it “virtually unlivable” and “dangerous from a health perspective to occupy,” according to the lawsuit. “This has resulted in substantial and significant damage along with a failure of consideration which requires that the purchase and sale be rescinded,” it added.
Filed by the couple via a trustee, the lawsuit seeks a rescission of the sale and purchase contract. The couple’s trustee has sued the builder for “consequential damages.” Responding to the suit, the builder filed a cross-complaint against sub-contractors.
PC-Jonas seeks millions in damages
As per the lawsuit, the couple has sought repair costs and compensation damages, amounting to millions, resulting from the seller’s conduct. Costs to fix waterproofing issues are expected to exceed US $1.5 million and general damages are estimated at US $2.5 million, according to the report.
The couple had “invested significantly in the home and were disappointed with the building errors,” the Page Six report added. They said the house is currently under repair and will be fit for occupation shortly. They can move back in at their convenience, despite the legal battle.
