Mario Winans is headed back to court once more for a finance-related offense.
Bossip reports that court documents state that Winans and his wife reportedly owe $47,461 in back rent and rent increases.
According to Premier Developer’s complaint, Winan and his wife Joy Ant agreed to rent its Fort Lee, NJ mansion for $8,500 a month in 2009. The company said that the Winans OK’d rental increases to $9,200 in 2010 and $11,000 a month in 2013. But following the last rent increase, the landlord said that the rent payments started coming late – if at all – and were usually less than the agreed upon amounts. For example, in March 2013, the Winans paid just $5,050 instead of the $11,000.
When the Winans’ once again fell behind on their rent in January 2015, the landlord evicted them, according to the landlord’s complaint.
Following the eviction, the home sold for $1.49 million.
Charges filed against the Winans. by Premier Developers LLC include breach of contract, unjust enrichment and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing for the rent debt.
