Jimmy Butlercurrent eaves of the Golden State Warriors, face a lawsuit in Florida for allegedly owing $ 260,000 for rent and causing more than $ 127,000 in damages in a luxury house in Miami.
The lawsuit was filed by Five Star Marketing and Promotions, Inc. in the 11th Florida circuit court. According to legal documents, Butler did not pay two months of rent of $ 130,000 per month for the luxurious property.
The house, of 5,398 square feet, has five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a pool and access to a channel. According to Realtor.com, its value is around $ 10 million.
In addition to the non -payment, Butler would have changed the locks without delivering a copy to the owner, preventing the access of maintenance personnel. The demand also alleges that the player did not take care of the pool or the air conditioning system, which caused extensive mold damage, forcing the replacement of ceilings and floors.

The plaintiff claims the payment of $ 257,282 for the damages and the tax of the rent, in addition to requesting to retain the safety deposit of $ 130,000.
Butler, who was recently transferred from Miami Heat to the Warriors, does not yet comment on the case.
