An idyllic California town, a celebrity landlord, and a rental from hell
The couple found a rental home online for $4,000 a month in La Quinta, California, a palm-tree-dotted hamlet about 2½ hours away, nestled between the resort-haven Palm Springs and festival-famous Coachella.
And that was just the beginning of their woes, which are documented in texts and emails with the broker and property manager, as well as photos of the damage. On December 14, 2022, the city of La Quinta declared the home a public nuisance because the heat wasn't working during an unusually cold desert fall.
In late October, Mason offered to refund the prepaid rent for November through March if they would move out early, by December 31, according to an email viewed by Insider. The couple said they had already decided to dig in their heels and fight for what they thought was right. The couple ultimately purchased a space heater, but decided not to use it because of the risk of fire, Luthra said.
Szalavitz said the ongoing and intrusive nature of the repairs has made it impossible to conduct interviews for her book, and that the illness she experienced, potentially from the dishwasher water, caused her to skip her niece's wedding. Celebrities, by contrast, don't always purchase real estate with the purpose of renting it out, but they sometimes lease it out while they're traveling, Thompson explained.
