Overview

  • Bozzuto Management Company filed a lawsuit July 9 in D.C. Superior Court seeking to evict Mills from his Maryland Avenue SW penthouse for $85,009 in rent missed between March and July.
  • Court documents list a monthly rent of about $20,833 and a resident ledger showing 18 late payments and over $850 in late fees since June 2023.
  • Mills has shared screenshots of emails and an “Error code 108” message, saying a faulty online portal prevented his rent payments in June and July.

  • Separately, the House Ethics Committee is probing his defense contracting firms and financial disclosures after an Office of Congressional Ethics report raised concerns over federal contracts.
