Kevin Spacey is allegedly refusing to leave his luxury Baltimore home that was recently bought at a foreclosure auction by Maryland real estate investor Sam Asgari.
Asgari claims the “House of Cards” actor, 65, is asking to stay at the property for another six months without paying rent, The Baltimore Banner reported.
Both men’s legal representatives are now reportedly negotiating to arrange a moveout date for Spacey.
Asgari acquired the six-bedroom waterfront estate for $3.4 million, significantly less than the $5.65 million Spacey originally paid for it in 2017.
The property, a 9,000-square-foot, two-unit condo in the Pier Homes at Harborview complex, was bought by Asgari at a foreclosure auction held on the steps of Baltimore Circuit Court in late July.
“He was going to leave in six months, but it costs so much money to keep that condo,” Asgari told the Baltimore Sun. Meanwhile, Spacey’s lawyer has denied Asgari’s accusations, calling them “false,” but providing no other details.
If Spacey continues to refuse to vacate, he may soon face eviction, which could potentially involve the assistance of the sheriff’s office, according to the foreclosure process in Maryland.
Spacey’s financial troubles have been well-documented, with the actor revealing in June that he was facing significant debt due to ongoing legal battles in the U.S. and Britain related to allegations of sexual misconduct.
Last summer, Spacey was acquitted in London court of nine counts of sexual misconduct leveled against him for alleged incidents between 2001 and 2013 with four men in their 20s and 30s.
