Overview
- On Dec. 26, a Los Angeles Superior Court granted landlord John Karan exclusive possession after the couple failed to respond to his eviction suit.
- The order requires the pair to vacate the property, while the judge has yet to rule on claims for back rent, attorney fees and other damages.
- Court records show the 2020 lease priced the six-bedroom home at $12,000 per month, with the complaint alleging seven months unpaid.
- Richards says she moved out in late 2023 as Phypers remained with family; competing accounts dispute whether the home was damaged or improved.
- Related proceedings continue, including a five-year restraining order in Richards’ favor, felony charges filed against Phypers, and his request for spousal support with filings citing heavy debt and high expenses.
