Is it the curse of Grey’s Anatomy? T.R. Knight was in a car crash, show alum Kate Walsh is still smarting from her divorce, and now Isaiah Washington may be forced out of his Los Angeles home.
In unlawful detainer papers filed on March 24, the actor’s former landlord claims Washington is five months behind in rental payments totaling to $100,000. Washington and his wife Jenisa were recently served with a “3-day notice to pay rent or quit”, which basically means they have to evacuate the premises if they do not make the payments up.
The property in question is worth nearly three and a half million dollars and carries a hefty $20,000 a month rental fee. Washington’s original lease agreement, which started in April of 2008, included an option to buy.
The property management company is requesting the couple: “past-due rent of $100,000, reasonable attorney fees, forfeiture of the agreement, damages at the rate stated in item 11 $3,333 per day for each day the defendants remain in possession through entry of judgment.”
