Candy Spelling, widow of TV mogul Aaron Spelling, has filed a lawsuit against her landlord over leasing issues.
Spelling currently resides in the Carlyle building in Westwood, California. She has been renting an apartment in the building for around $28,000 a month for some time now. A new penthouse is under construction, just adjacent to her apartment where she intends to move.
Spelling had a deal with the building landlord that her apartment lease would be extended if the construction of the penthouse was not completed within the stipulated time. However, it seems that the landlord is now trying to force Spelling into vacating the place, reports TMZ.
Spelling also claimed that she had spent around $10,000 to fix the apartment's heating and air conditioning. She also claimed that she pays double for the utilities of the building and is forced to share her private elevator with other tenants, reports SFGate.com.
The Spelling family recently sold their 56,500 square feet "Spelling mansion/ The Manor" to British racing heiress, Petra Ecclestone for a good $85 million in 2011. The Grand palace was also featured in a TV series, "Selling Spelling Manor" that aired from 2009 to 2010.
